Darius confirmed his relationship with Palmer in August 2021, when he posted a heart warming birthday message for his girlfriend. The post says:

"You've been a blessing from above.

Privacy is Important to the Couple

While the couple is obviously very much happy together, the actress noted that she has desperately tried to keep her relationship as well as her pregnancy a secret.

"I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you y'all, but it's even worse when they're correct," she reportedly said.

"I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low, cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?

"... But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I'm going to be a mom."

According to The Sun, although Palmer was insistent on keeping things on the down low, she and Jackson were not afraid to flaunt their relationship on social media. They constantly posted pictures of each other and themselves.

It seems the actress is in a great place, and she is moving away from the child actress stereotype she was put in.

She briefly discussed it during her monologue, "Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor, I just wanna say, look, I'm 29, I'm grown, I have sex, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do."
