The announcement comes two weeks after she sparked pregnancy rumors when she was spotted out in Los Angeles holding what appeared to be her baby bump under a white flannel. Jackson is set to star in the upcoming film, The Man in the White Van, which heads to theaters on Dec. 13.

Back in August, the Disney Channel actress was arrested after security personnel saw her and her boyfriend getting into a physical altercation at Universal Studios Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles Times. Jackson was taken to the West Hollywood Station for booking, and her bail was set for $20,000 before she was released a few hours later.
