Skai Jackson just melted the internet with a rare and touching glimpse into her life as a young mom. The 23-year-old actress, best known for her roles on Disney Channel’s Jessie and Bunk’d, shared heartwarming new photos of her six-month-old son Kasai, and fans can’t get enough.
A Mother’s Love Shines Through
On July 18, Skai posted a carousel of adorable images on Instagram celebrating Kasai turning six months old. Dressed in little blue and white striped overalls, Kasai looked bright-eyed and full of joy as he sat beside a fluffy gray and white dog and played with his toys.
She captioned the post simply, “Kasai 💙 6 months,” letting the love in the photos speak for itself. Comments from fans flooded in. One person gushed, “The one with the pink ball, I cannot!!! An angel!!!” while another wrote, “He is just too Handsome 💙💙.”
A Bittersweet Journey into Motherhood
Skai first confirmed her pregnancy through PEOPLE in November 2024. Kasai was born in January 2025, and while the milestone has brought plenty of joy, it’s also come with tough challenges.
The actress reportedly shares Kasai with her ex-boyfriend, 21-year-old Deondre Burgin. Sadly, their relationship turned dark earlier this year. In May, Skai filed a restraining order against Burgin in Los Angeles County, citing domestic abuse.
She detailed a horrifying incident that allegedly occurred on Mother’s Day, claiming Burgin assaulted her while she was holding Kasai. According to court documents, she said he grabbed her by the hair, slammed her head into a car window, and punched her.
Putting Her Son’s Safety First
A close source shared with PEOPLE that the restraining order was necessary for the safety of Skai and her son. “The safety and well-being of her family is the top priority,” the insider noted. “This restraining order was filed as a necessary measure to protect her and her child from continued harassment and threats.”
Then on July 14, Burgin was arrested by an FBI task force in connection with an alleged carjacking. He was charged with aggravated robbery, adding another troubling chapter to Skai’s story.
Strength Behind the Smile
Despite the pain and complications behind the scenes, Skai Jackson continues to shine as a devoted mother. The photos of Kasai reflect not just his sweetness but the strength and love his mother brings to his life each day.
Fans continue to rally around her, offering support, encouragement, and appreciation for her bravery and honesty in the face of hardship.
Skai may be known for her acting, but now the world is seeing her in a whole new light—as a fierce, loving mom doing everything she can for her little boy. And that, in every way, is her most powerful role yet.
