Skai Jackson’s Exes
Skai Jackson’s dating history has definitely kept her in the public eye beyond her Disney days, with a few of her rumored relationships creating some major media buzz.
She’s been linked to a lineup of notable figures, including Smooky Margielaa, Julez Smith (yep, Beyoncé’s nephew!), Famous Jay, Kid Trunks, and even Lil Uzi Vert.
Jackson’s dating past also includes brief flings with rappers like NLE Choppa and Lil Keed, which naturally made headlines too.
Skai’s Relationship With Mysterious Boyfriend Has Been Very Messy
Skai Jackson has officially joined the ranks of former Disney Channel stars who’ve faced run-ins with the law.
The actress was reportedly taken into custody for misdemeanor domestic violence following an altercation with her boyfriend at Universal CityWalk.
Details about the incident reveal that security had to step in after allegedly witnessing Jackson “pushing” her boyfriend multiple times.
Both Jackson and her boyfriend reportedly denied any physical fight, insisting they’re happily engaged and expecting a child.
However, after reviewing security footage, officers confirmed Jackson’s actions and proceeded with the arrest.
She was released shortly after, and the case will be reviewed by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office to determine if charges are warranted.
In late October, Skai Jackson made her first public appearance since her August 8 arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Jackson was cited and resealed shortly after and the LA District Attorney’s Office ultimately decided not to pursue charges.
Despite the attention, Jackson has always been private about her relationships.
Her current boyfriend remains a mystery, with her keeping his identity out of the public eye—a pattern she’s followed with past romances, including her much-publicized breakup with Julez Smith, Solange Knowles’ son.
Their controversial split went viral when private conversations allegedly surfaced, with Smith claiming Jackson had cheated, and his response was reportedly to “ruin her life,” leading to leaked explicit content.
Since then, it seems the couple has put the incident behind them and are focusing on the exciting journey ahead as they prepare to welcome their baby.
With so much happening in Jackson’s life, here’s to sending her positive vibes as she steps into this new chapter of love, family, and growth.
