Keke Palmer Welcomed Her First Baby Boy With Darius Jackson

The NOPE Actress and Darius Jackson Welcome their first child, a boy, by the name of Leodis Andrellton Jackson or Leo for short.

The baby boy arrived during black history month and the Akeelah and the Bee Actress could not be any happier.

The Emmy Award Winner Actress, who is 29, shared some pictures of her baby boy on Instagram and the baby is perfect. Keke wrote: “ Hey Son!!!! Born during Black History Month, with a name to match! LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.”

Keke Palmer is an American actress, singer and TV personality. She rose to stardom as a child actress in the film Akeelah and the Bee (2006) before going on to star in Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP from 2008–2011.

She announced her pregnancy in December 2022, while hosting Saturday Night Live, during her Monologue that reads : “”I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you y’all, but it’s even worse when they’re correct. I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low, cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?” she continued. “But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I’m going to be a mom.”

Right after those words, she opened up her jacket and showed her baby bump.

Last Month, she had the most beautiful baby shower

Keke has kept her relationship with Darius on the hush hush for quite some time now, but as she opened up to Tamron on The Tamron Hall Show, it became harder and harder to hide because they spent time together almost all the time.

She said Darius is her closest friend.

Congratulations are in order for Keke and Darius. We cannot wait to see Baby Leo grow up!
