Keke Palmer And Boyfriend Darius Jackson Announce The Birth And Name Of Their Son

It’s been a fun 48 hours for rookie parents Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson, who took to Instagram to announce that Palmer gave birth to a boy they named Leodis Andrellton Jackson. Palmer wrote that she was happy Leodis was born during Black History Month, so they made sure that their kid had a “name to match.”

Along with adorable photos of Leodis, Palmer also shared how they’ve already started introducing good music to their baby by playing El Debarge in the car (presumably) going home and streaming Rolling Ray in the hospital room. Leodis’ parents’ got good taste!

The baby’s arrival has been a long time coming for Palmer, who previously told Essence that she was excited about the fact that she’ll get to look after someone else. “I love the idea that I don’t have to be thinking about me, to just be focused on somebody else for a lot of time,” she shared. “I’m so ready for him to take over my life.”
