Keke Palmer, Darius Jackson Welcome Baby During Black History Month: 'Hey Son!'

Keke Palmer doesn't do anything without a bang.

Over the weekend, Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson finally welcomed the newest addition to their family, Leodis Andrellton Jackson on Feb. 25.

The actress/singer shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram featuring herself looking disheveled but glowing after giving birth to their son, as well as pictures of Jackson and their son.

"Hey, son!!!!" She wrote enthusiastically. "1. Only 48hrs of being parents! 2. Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, "Someone" by El Debarge was a favorite. We became each other's someone and made a someone, look at God! 3. The baby love Rolling Ray, cause purrr.

"4. 'I'm not hiding the world from my son, I'm hiding my son from the world.' Hahaha 5. I'm just playing, my baby face is on this slide. 6. And this slide. Born during Black History Month, with a name to match," she wrote.

Surprise!

The birth of little Leo comes months after Palmer's sudden announcement that she was pregnant during her "Saturday Night Live" monologue.

"There's some rumors going around," she began. "People are in my comments saying Keke's having a baby, Keke's pregnant. And I want to set the record straight...I am!"

Just as she told the audience, she really did keep most of her pregnancy as well as the birth pretty private, save for a handful of pictures and updates.

"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."

This is definitely not the first time the outgoing star has withheld information from her fans.

It took the outgoing star sometime before launching her relationship on social media. "It became more difficult to hide."

"We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I'm not gonna hide something that makes me happy."

In the coming days, there's no way to say whether Palmer plans to share more pictures of her son or if she wants to share what life with a baby will be like for her, however, it seems like fans won't be completely starved.
