Keke Palmer's little bundle of joy has arrived! On Feb. 25, the 29-year-old actor gave birth to her first child [1], son Leodis Andrellton Jackson, with boyfriend Darius Jackson [2]. Palmer and Jackson announced their baby's arrival two days later on Instagram, giving the world a first look at the tiny tot. "Hey Son!!!!" Palmer captioned a series of pictures featuring her family of three. "Only 48hrs of being parents!"

Palmer and Jackson reportedly met at a Memorial Day party hosted by Diddy [3] and Issa Rae in 2021, according to Us Weekly [4]. Three months later, the couple made their relationship Instagram official when Jackson shared his love for Palmer in a since-deleted post (via People [5]), writing, "Never would have expected summer 2021 to turn out the way it did, but here we are. I'm glad we were able to help each other throughout our lowest of times & show one another that what we are bringing to the table is everything that we got."

In December 2022, Palmer surprised fans when she announced her pregnancy while hosting "Saturday Night Live [6]." "There's some rumours going around, people have been in my comments saying, 'Keke's having a baby, Keke's pregnant,' and I wanna set the record straight — I am!" the star said before pulling open her jacket to reveal her baby bump.

Just a month before baby Leo's arrival, Palmer celebrated with a Disney prince-themed baby shower [7], which was dubbed "Once Upon a Baby." Now that Leo is finally here, get to know more about him ahead.
