Keke Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson have kept their relationship fairly low-key from the start. But on Dec. 3, Palmer announced she was pregnant while hosting “Saturday Night Live,” casting their relationship into the spotlight.
“There’s some rumors 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!” Palmer said during her opening monologue. “I gotta say, though – it’s bad when people on the Internet spread rumors about you, y’all. But it’s even worse when they’re correct!” She later added: “This has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited, guys – I’m going to be a mom.”
Palmer’s boyfriend is the brother of “Insecure” alum Sarunas Jackson. He’s also an aspiring actor himself, per Elle, and works as a fitness instructor at Inspire Fitness Studio and runs a fitness YouTube channel, according to Us Weekly.
Aside from a few romantic Instagram tributes to each other, Palmer and Jackson have kept their relationship relatively private over the years, but here’s what we know about their romance.
