Home / News / Celebrity News Keke Palmer gives ‘SNL’ audience the best baby bump reveal ever SNL/Instagram The BEST bump reveal ever! By Cassandra Stone December 5, 2022 SNL/Instagram Rectangle While performing her monologue for Saturday Night Live over the weekend, actress Keke Palmer revealed she’s expecting her first baby in the BEST way. (Sure, Beyonce probably had the best baby bump reveal ever, but that was a long time ago! We needed this.) “There’s some rumors going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am!” Palmer exclaimed, ripping open a long jacket to reveal her growing baby bump right on stage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) This is the first baby for Keke and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. Jackson shared an adorable pic of Palmer on his Instagram Story on Sunday after the news became public. @dvulton/Instagram “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. 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?” Palmer continued during her monologue. “But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I’m going to be a mom.” Related: Blake Lively expecting baby number 4 is a big deal in normalizing big families She added: “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.” Though Palmer and Jackson have been together for a while, the two have kept their relationship pretty private—at least as far as social media goes. Which, honestly, is totally understandable. During an appearance on “The Tamron Hall Show” last fall, Palmer said she decided to go “Instagram official” about her relationship with Jackson.
