Make way for Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson!
Keke Palmer brought her adorable two-month-old son Leo to his very first red carpet event last night, and let’s just say he stole the show! The actress and her boyfriend, Darius Daulton Jackson, attended the closing night screening of her upcoming visual album, Big Boss, during the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival, and the little cutie made hearts melt as he joined his mom on the red carpet.
On the carpet, Keke and Darius were in high spirits as they posed for photos and made their way through the crowd. Keke was as glamorous as ever, showing off her post-baby body in a form-fitting cheetah-print jumpsuit that accentuated all the right curves. She took a few photos with Leo and then handed him off to Darius so she could work her magic for the cameras.

On the magazine front…
Keke Palmer stuns in pink for PEOPLE’s Beautiful Issue, opening up about her journey in motherhood and much more.
In the issue, Keke Palmer doesn’t hold back on the reality of motherhood. Despite being a newcomer to the mom world, the actress dishes out invaluable advice to fellow mothers, urging them to trust their instincts and not succumb to the pressures of snapback culture. She’s encouraging mothers to take their time and not be fooled by celebrity postpartum bodies.
“Anytime you see a celebrity doing a snap back or whatever like that, it’s part of the damn gig. A part of our jobs is to look good and to look the part. So don’t think it’s this thing where it’s like, ‘We doing it because we got it like that.’ No, the job is on the line. If we want the checks to get signed, we got to be what we got to be,” voiced the movie star.
The new mom said she has learned to prioritize her own happiness over societal pressure to conform to certain beauty standards. “I’ve had my own personal journey with my physical appearance, and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is to prioritize my happiness,” said the first-time mother.
