Keke Palmer just gave birth to her first child, and welcomed her baby boy alongside his father, boyfriend Darius Jackson. Of course, since the reveal of her pregnancy, fans have been ecstatic to see Palmer experience the joy of motherhood. Moreover, she also made the announcement in quite a grandiose and public manner. Not many other celebrities would include a pregnancy reveal in their opening host monologue for Saturday Night Live. Then again, Keke’s not like other celebrities. In her announcement post, she reflected on the first 48 hours of being Leodis Andrellton Jackson.
“Hey Son!!!!” she began her post. Furthermore, each “section” of her caption corresponds to a picture in her Instagram slideshow. “Only 48hrs of being parents!” she wrote about a picture of the couple looking frazzled. “Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating. ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favorite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God!” she attributed to a video of them singing along. “The baby love Rolling Ray, cause purrr,” she captioned a video of the family watching the viral sensation.
Keke Palmer Announces Birth Of Baby Boy Leodis
“’I’m not hiding the world from my son, I’m hiding my son from the world.’ Hahaha,” she wrote on a picture of the two with Leodis’ face concealed. Of course, that’s a dig at Drake’s infamous lines on the track “Emotionless” about his then-exposed son. “I’m just playing, my baby face is on this slide. And this slide,” she wrote for the last two pictures, which are in fact of the beautiful baby boy. “Born during Black History Month, with a name to match!” she concluded. “LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.”
Back when she originally made the pregnancy announcement, Palmer spoke to her excitement, love, and gratitude. “This year has taken me for a ride!” she wrote on Instagram. “And how cool, my baby and I are already doing it all together. Thank you God! Thank you to my amazing parents and family who continuously support me… thank you to my other half [Darius] for giving me the things that only true unity can bring. Love is all we have isn’t it, you do nothing in this world alone and trust me, I am not alone! Very grateful… Happy Holidays!” Congrats to Keke and Darius on their joyous gift, and come back to HNHH for the latest on Keke Palmer.
