"Another Halle in making": Skai Jackson's alleged baby bump pictures sparks pregnancy rumors

Recent paparazzi photos of actress Skai Jackson have stirred up pregnancy rumors after she was spotted in the Northridge area of Los Angeles. The photos, taken by celebrity news agency BACKGRID, show the 22-year-old wearing a casual outfit—a white tee under a flannel shirt paired with grey shorts. The appearance of a noticeable belly caught some fans' attention, this quickly led to speculation on social media about whether Jackson might be expecting.

Comparisons are being drawn between Jackson and singer Halle Bailey, who kept her pregnancy private until the birth of her son in early 2024. Bailey, alongside her partner DDG, chose not to make any public announcements until after their baby, Halo, was born.

Some X users shared their opinions on Skai Jackson's alleged pregnancy.

"Another Halle in making...Young PPL getting pregnant trend is worrisome...Affect the life of the girl and soon to be born baby...I wish good for them," commented one X user.

"Happy about what? Young ppl bringing a baby into a house unwed where the police were just called for domestic vloIence less than 4 months ago??," commented one X user.

"Another talented black woman getting preggy outside of wedlock," commented another X user.

"Ohh another young girl pregnant," remarked one more X user.

While most netizens were disappointed, some X users also expressed happiness and sent Skai Jackson love on her alleged pregnancy,

"Congratulations to Skai Jackson on her pregnancy news! Sending love," wrote one X user.

"Wow, I didn't see that coming! Congrats to her!," commented another X user.

"Life is such a blessing, and children are a gift from God. Wishing her peace and joy on this new journey," commented one more X user.

Halle Bailey's decision to keep her pregnancy under wraps fueled more discussions around Jackson’s possible pregnancy, as fans drew parallels between the two stars. Some fans refer to Jackson as another Halle in the making for her similarly low-key approach to her personal life.
