Skai Jackson Previously Opened Up About Her Relationships With Former ‘Jessie’ Co-Stars
During an April 2024 interview with E! News, Skai Jackson opened up about where she stands with her former Jessie co-stars.
“I feel like we’re all living different types of lives,” Skai explained “A lot of us don’t even live in the same state so it’s hard to see each other. But they’re doing so many amazing, great things that I’m really proud of them. We definitely check up on each other.”
Jackson also said she would be open to a “little hour special check-in” with the Jessie cast. “That would always be fun, but maybe like five yers from now.”
She went on to say that she had a great experience on the set. “I got to learn a lot being in the industry at a young age, being able to have opportunities I feel like probably the average kid wouldn’t be able to,” she continued. “My mom, she’s always kept me humble. All my friends always keep me humble and that’s really important. I feel like when you have that great support system, you cannot go wrong.”
Jessie follows a Texan teen who moves to New York City to follow her dreams and ends up as a nanny for a high-profile couple’s four children.
Jackson starred in the series with Debby Ryan, Peyton List, Cameron Boyce, Karan Brar, and Kevin Chamberlin. She appeared in all 98 episodes of the series.
