Actress Keke Palmer has welcomed a baby boy with partner Darius Jackson.
Sharing the exciting news to social media, the new mum posted a number of photos and video clips of her newborn son.
One snap saw Keke and Darius driving home from the hospital, followed by a video clip of Keke singing during the journey before briefly showing the car seat in the back.
The next clip saw the Nope star in a hospital bed, while Darius sat with their son on a rocking chair, which was then followed by a sweet photo of the overjoyed couple with their son in the hospital bed.
And the last two photos saw the newborn looking snug as he slept all wrapped up in a blanket, alongside a cute elephant toy.
Captioning her post, Keke revealed the tot's name, writing: "Born during Black History Month, with a name to match! LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo."
Commenters were quick to congratulate the new parents, with actress and singer Halle Bailey writing: "so precious!!!!" and Abbott Elementary writer and actress Quinta Brunson adding: "Congrats Keke" followed by a string of heart emojis.
"First of all congratulations!! Second of all I already LOVE you as a mama third and most annoyingly (especially coming from me who is literally exhausted from hearing this from the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker) THAT BABY LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS POPS! Also and more importantly looking adorable, healthy and happy" added a third commenter.
And even The Sims got involved in congratulating the new parents, with the game's Instagram account commenting: "Nooboo!! Congratulations Keke!!!"
Keke announced her pregnancy in December during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live as she ripped her blazer open on-stage to reveal her baby bump.
The actress said that she wanted to “set the record straight,” on rumours that she’s seen about her having a baby, before unbuttoning her blazer to reveal her blossoming baby bump.
She added that “this has been the biggest blessing. I’m going to be a mom,” before playfully joking that she was only keeping the news private because she had a “liquor sponsorship down the line".
Keke has been in a relationship with boyfriend Darius Daulton Jackson since May 2021.
Darius works in podcasting and fitness and is the younger brother of actor Sarunas Jackson, who appeared in the Netflix series Insecure alongside Keke.
Keke has previously described her boyfriend as “industry-adjacent,” and that she preferred this as it helps them in keeping their relationship – and later Keke's pregnancy – low-key.
She explained: “I’ve always been someone that hasn’t wanted too much industry stuff in my life,” but added that her relationship had become “harder to hide,” with time as a result of her high-profile career.
