For most of 2024, Jackson has subtly revealed her boyfriend on platforms like Snapchat, though the actual post remains elusive.

Despite the revelation of her pregnancy, Skai Jackson has persisted in her career. As she prepares for her role in the upcoming thriller “The Man in the White Van,” she is determined to keep her popularity on her own terms. Despite the numerous conjectures around her relationship with Deondre Burgin, the actress is embracing this new stage of her life with bravery and confidence.
