In a recent statement, the 22-year-old actress shared her excitement about this new chapter, where she will be balancing motherhood with upcoming career opportunities.

News of her pregnancy sparked a wave of reactions from fans and colleagues, congratulating Jackson on this new journey.
Skai Jackson’s career journey and her impact on Disney Channel
Skai Jackson was born in New York City on April 8, 2002. She began her career at a young age, appearing in commercials for major brands. She made her film debut in Liberty Kid in 2007. However, it was in 2011, when she was cast as Zuri Ross in Jessie, that she gained widespread recognition. The character’s fun and unique personality quickly won over young audiences, making Zuri a standout in the show.
Jackson continued playing Zuri Ross in Bunk’d, a Jessie spin-off. Her talent and charm helped solidify the show’s success among Disney Channel’s fanbase. Beyond her success on TV, Jackson explored other areas, publishing her first book, Reach for the Skai: How to Inspire, Empower and Clapback, in 2019. The book shares life lessons and encourages readers to face challenges with courage.
Recent projects and future outlook
Beyond her journey as a Disney Channel child star, Skai Jackson has taken on projects that showcase her versatility as an artist. In 2023, she starred in the film Sheroes and also appeared in the short film Big Boss, directed by Keke Palmer.

Later in 2024, Skai will be seen in the horror film The Man in the White Van. With this role, Jackson is showing her interest in exploring various genres and moving beyond her Disney Channel image. The actress has not shared how she plans to balance motherhood with her professional commitments, but her dedication to her career is evident.

Though she’s active on social media, she rarely shares intimate details, focusing instead on her career and projects. Recently, rumors about her pregnancy began circulating when she was seen in public with a visible baby bump. Additionally, during an incident in August 2024, when she was temporarily detained, Jackson reportedly told authorities that she was engaged and expecting a baby.
This episode, though surrounded by speculation, revealed a more personal side of Jackson, who has generally kept her relationships private. However, she still chooses not to share information about her fiancé or the baby’s father, maintaining her privacy on these matters.

30 de abril de 2026O professor Rafael Coll Delgado, do Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Natureza, da Ufac, participou como coautor do artigo “Interações Clima-Vegetação-Solo na Predição do Risco de Incêndios Florestais: Evidências de Duas Unidades de Conservação da Mata Atlântica, Brasil”, o qual foi publicado, em inglês, na revista “Forests” (vol. 15, n.º 5), cuja dição temática foi voltada aos desafios contemporâneos dos incêndios florestais no contexto das mudanças climáticas.
O estudo também contou com a parceria das Universidades Federais de Viçosa (UFV) e Rural do Rio de Janeiro e foi desenvolvido no âmbito do Centro Integrado de Meteorologia Agrícola e Florestal, da Ufac, como resultado da dissertação da pesquisadora e geógrafa Ana Luisa Ribeiro de Faria, da UFV.
A pesquisa analisa a interação entre clima, solo e vegetação em unidades de conservação da Mata Atlântica, propondo dois novos modelos de índice de incêndio e avaliando sua capacidade preditiva sob diferentes cenários do fenômeno El Niño-Oscilação do Sul. Para tanto, foram integrados dados climáticos diários (2001-2023), índices de vegetação e seca, registros de focos de incêndio e estimativas de umidade do solo, permitindo uma análise dos fatores que influenciam a ocorrência de incêndios.
“O trabalho é fruto de cooperação entre três universidade públicas brasileiras, reforçando o papel estratégico dessas instituições na produção científica e no desenvolvimento de soluções aplicadas à gestão ambiental”, destacou Rafael Coll Delgado.

VÍDEO: Veja o que disse Ministra em julgamento do ex-governador Gladson Cameli
PUBLICADO

16 de abril de 2026No julgamento desta quarta-feira, dia 15/04/2026, a Corte Especial do STJ, por unanimidade, determinou o imediato desentranhamento dos Relatórios de Inteligência Financeira de n°s 50157.2.8600.10853, 50285.2.8600.10853 e 50613.2.8600.10853, a fim de que fosse viabilizada a continuidade do julgamento de mérito da ação penal. A própria Ministra Relatora Nancy Andrighi foi quem suscitou referida questão de ordem, visando regularizar e atualizar o processo.
O jornalista Luis Carlos Moreira Jorge descreveu o contexto com as seguintes palavras:
SITUAÇÃO REAL
Para situar o que está havendo no STJ: o STF não determinou nulidade, suspensão de julgamento e retirada de pauta do processo do governador Gladson. O STF apenas pediu para desentranhar provas que foram consideradas ilegais pela segunda turma da Corte maior. E que não foram usadas nem na denúncia da PGR. O Gladson não foi julgado ontem em razão da extensão da pauta do STJ. O julgamento acontecerá no dia 6 de maio na Corte Especial do STJ, onde pode ser absolvido ou condenado. Este é o quadro real.
A posição descrita acima reflete corretamente o quadro jurídico do momento.
