Keke & Darius’ Blossoming Love
In May 2021, Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson sparked their romance rumors after meeting each other at Insecure’s afterparty. In the HBO show, Keke was a guest star in one of the episodes, while Jackson’s brother Sarunas J. Jackson had a prominent role in it. Well, that can explain the connection. Later, in August, they confirmed their relationship status with an Instagram post where Darius wrote for Keke, “You’ve been a blessing from above.”
In November 2021, Keke Palmer opened up about their relationship while being in conversation on The Tamron Hall Show and revealed how difficult it was to hide it from the public, “We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I’m not going to hide something that makes me happy. It’s not gonna be everything you see. My job is my job, but at the end of the day, this is somebody that is important to me, so why not?”
The Nope star revealed in March 2022 that she has been the happiest with Darius while talking about them in an interview with Bustle. While hosting SNL in December 2022, Keke finally broke the big news about her pregnancy with Jackson, and in February 2023, their son Leo was born.

Did Keke & Darius Get Back Together?
