The 'Nope' star recently gave birth to her first child, son Leodis Andrellton Jackson, with boyfriend Darius Jackson.

Keke Palmer is a mom.

The Nope star recently gave birth to her first child and took to Instagram to share some joyous moments from her first two days of being a mother.


Back in December, Palmer "set the record straight" on those pesky pregnancy rumors on SNL during her monologue.

You can watch the moment here:

And in late January, Palmer revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon she was expecting a baby boy.

Now, barely a month later, she and boyfriend Darius Jackson have their bundle of joy, a baby boy named Leodis Andrellton Jackson.

In her Instagram announcement, Palmer shared six photos and videos, describing each in the caption.

She began with, "Hey Son!!!!" before breaking down each slide in the carousel.

The first picture was described as, "Only 48hrs of being parents! 😳"

She added:

"'I'm not hiding the world from my son, I'm hiding my son from the world.' Hahaha"

But then revealed:

"I'm just playing, my baby face in on this slide [5]."

Palmer finished her post:

"Born during Black History Month, with a name to match 😄!"
"LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo."

Friends, fans, family and fellow celebrities showered the new mother with congratulations and well wishes and welcomed her to a whole new world of motherhood.

The White House is facing heavy criticism after it posted a video on X showing off a new painting of President Donald Trump's assassination attempt last summer—that is now hanging where an official portrait of former President Barack Obama was once displayed.

The portrait of Obama, unveiled in 2022 during former President Joe Biden’s administration, remains on display in the White House but has been relocated. Originally hung near the staircase to the presidential residence on the State Floor, it has been moved to the opposite wall—where a portrait of former President George W. Bush once hung.

The unexpected messages were heard in Palo Alto, Redwood City, and Menlo Park—home to Zuckerberg's expansive Meta headquarters. In one instance, a Musk impersonator offered passing pedestrians a Tesla Cybertruck in exchange for friendship.
