The relationship between Disney Actress Skai Jackson and Beyonce’s nephew Julez Smith made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
After a photo of Skai and Julez started circulating on social media in January 2021, it was rumored that the couple was an item.
However, things turned ugly with the then 16-year-old son of Solange Knowles after he spilled secrets about ex Skai Jackson.
In addition to lewd comments about their liaison, he also posted an intimate video, apparently after he discovered that the Disney actress had cheated on him.
It wasn’t the first of Skai’s relationships to end badly.
Skai Jackson Has Grown Up In The Spotlight
With a massive social media following, it’s inevitable that Skai’s life will attract attention.
At the age of just three, she started appearing in commercials. Two years later she scored her first movie role, in the film Liberty Kid.
After a number of shows and movies, Skai hit the big time when she was cast in the role of Zuri Ross in Disney Channel's Jessie, which starred a number of celebrity guests, including Michelle Obama. The popular comedy television series ran from 2011 to 2015. She went on to play the same role in the Jessie spinoff, Bunk'd.
The star has certainly earned her stripes in the industry, with credits that include performances in Dora the Explorer, The Smurfs, G.I. Joe, the Marvel Rising series, and Ultimate Spider-Man, among many others.
Skai Didn’t Date Cameron Boyce
Although there were rumors that she and Jessie co-star Cameron Boyce were dating, both actors dismissed the stories, saying they were just good friends.
In 2019, Boyce died at the age of just 20 as the result of an epileptic seizure. The following year, Skai dedicated her performances on Dancing With The Stars to her late friend, often wearing purple, the color for Epilepsy awareness, to her rehearsals for the show.
Her First Relationship Didn’t End Well
Apart from her ill-fated liaison with Julez, all the Disney star's other relationships have been with rappers.
Skai and Vietnamese-American rapper Kid Trunks started dating in 2018. Initially, fans who followed the couple’s relationship via Instagram posts enjoyed their sweet interactions.
Those same fans were shocked when the 18-year-old Florida-based rapper dumped Skai on Instagram Live. The couple had been dating for almost a year and a half when Kid told the devastated Skai to “…stop bothering me. Leave me alone”.
Apparently, the rapper had found a new girlfriend.
Skai’s Next Relationship Was Much Shorter
After her first relationship ended, Skai hooked up with another rapper, Famous Jay.
This time the love affair was much shorter-lived, with the couple calling it a day after 5 months.
After her first two boyfriends, Skai’s next romance featured a rising star. Bronx muso Smooky Margielaa had been making waves on the music scene since the age of 15.

Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last very long: Skai and Smooky dated for just a month.
The Oldest Man Skai Has Dated Was Next On The List
The Jessie star was 17, Lil Keed, was 21 at the time. The relationship happened mainly online, which led to problems when the rapper’s baby mama discovered Skai’s messages.
That led to a confrontation between the two women. Needless to say, the relationship didn’t last long.
Is Skai Dating NLE Choppa?
The most recent relationship news about the Bunk’d star features rumors about a connection with rapper NLE Choppa.
The stories surfaced in January 2021, after a fan asked Skai on Twitter: "@skaijackson if you ever see this I wanted to ask if you single because I fell in love with you this was hard to say." She replied: "LMAOO, Yes I'm single for rn." NLE Choppa then cryptically responded to Skai's tweet: "Umhm."
The two have since been indulging in flirty chats on social media.
Skai Has A Huge Following
She may have been unlucky in the romantic stakes so far, but her followers continue to show her love. The YouTuber, who has an estimated net worth of $500,000, is followed by 7.6 million on Instagram.
Included in Time’s 2016 list of Most Influential Teens, Skai has her own Fashion line, and a comic book character Riri Williams is based on her
She's also written a book. Reach for the Skai: How to Inspire, Empower and Clapback discusses the negative experiences that can come from living in the spotlight.
She’s Not Related To Michael Jackson
Although many believe Skai is the daughter of Janet Jackson, that’s not true. Skai has no connection to the Thriller star’s family.
Kiya Cole is Skai's mother, and she doubles as the star's part-time manager. Kiya also stood by her daughter during the Julez Smith debacle.
With so much going for Skai, fans hope she’ll be luckier in her next relationships.
