Keke Palmer is doing what’s best for her son.
And to her, that means being in a healthy space with his father. A year after she and Darius Jackson—with whom she shares Leodis, 21-months—ended their relationship, the 31-year-old gave an update on where they stand.
“I would have never thought that I would be where I am now,” Keke told Gayle King in a CBS Mornings interview Nov. 19. “I am very grateful that we are able to co-exist this way and show up for our son. It’s a blessing.”
The Baby, This Is Keke Palmer host and Darius began their relationship in June 2021 and welcomed their son the following year. However, things became contentious when Keke obtained a temporary restraining order against Darius in November 2023, in which she alleged domestic and emotional abuse. (For his part, Darius filed his own legal response in Dec. 2023 which he alleged Keke was the “primary aggressor” during their relationship. E! News reached out to both Darius and Keke at the time of the filings and did not receive comment.)
