Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson announce the arrival of their firstborn child
Keke Palmer, the multi-talented actress and singer, has added a new role to her repertoire - motherhood. On February 25, 2023, Palmer and her partner Darius Jackson welcomed their first child, Leodis "Leo" Andrellton Jackson. Born under the sign of Pisces, Leo is already making waves in the world, just like his mother.
The news of Palmer's pregnancy was first shared in December 2022, but it was during her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live at 30 Rockefeller Plaza Studio in New York City that she officially announced it. In a memorable moment, Palmer undid an oversized trench coat to reveal a crop top and a baby bump, sending the audience into a frenzy of applause.
In the lead-up to Leo's arrival, Palmer shared that "Someone" by El Debarge was one of her favourite songs when she started dating Jackson. This sentiment was echoed when Palmer sang the song to Jackson in a heartwarming video shared on her Instagram post, announcing the birth of their son. The post, a slideshow featuring Palmer, Leo, and Jackson as new parents, was filled with witty comments, reflecting Palmer's humorous personality.
During an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon", Palmer discussed the potential zodiac sign and gender of her child. She revealed that Leo could either be a Pisces or an Aries, but his birth date confirmed him as a Pisces. Palmer joked about people spreading rumours about her pregnancy on the internet, stating, "I'm not hiding the world from my son. I'm hiding my son from the world."
Since the news of her pregnancy, Palmer has continued to show her baby bump on red carpets, TikTok dances, and photoshoots. The actress-singer has expressed concern about being too blunt for her baby boy due to her personality traits, but her fans are excited to see how Leo will grow up with such a strong and vibrant role model.
The birth of Leo marks a new chapter in Palmer's life, and she has already proclaimed that they have become each other's "someone" and made a "someone" (referring to Leo). As Palmer navigates her new role as a mother, fans can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented and inspiring individual.
Keke Palmer's decision to share her pregnancy journey on Saturday Night Live and social media showcased her love for entertaining her fans, incorporating her baby bump into TikTok dances and red carpet appearances. With her son, Leodis "Leo" Andrellton Jackson, becoming a celebrity himself, it's likely the duo will continue to influence the entertainment industry with their unique chemistry and charm.
