Congratulations to Skai Jackson! The former Disney Channel star has officially just become a mother!

Skai, 22, took to Instagram to announce the birth of her baby with a sweet photo of the two of them wearing matching outfits. Alongside the adorable pic, she shared the name of her newborn: Kasai.

Skai didn't share any other information about her baby or her baby's father, nor did she share the baby's face in the photo.
