Singer, Keke Palmer Is Pregnant With Her First Child (Photos/Video)

American singer and actress, Keke Palmer has announced she is pregnant with her first child for boyfriend, Darius Jackson. She dramatically unveiled her baby bump during a monologue on Saturday Night Live.

The 29-year-old “Hustlers and Nope” actress was hosting the US comedy sketch show for the time when she paused to address “rumours” circulating on the internet.

She said: “People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant’ and I want to set the record straight I am.”

Palmer ripped open her blazer to reveal her bare bump, prompting cheers and applause from the studio audience.

Jokingly, she added: “I was trying so hard to keep it on the down-low because I got a lot of stuff going on.

“People kept coming up to me, ‘congratulations’, and I’m like, ‘shh, can you all stop? I have got a liquor sponsorship on the line.”

Palmer described her pregnancy as “the biggest blessing” adding: “Guys, I am going to be a mum.”

The actress, originally from Robbins, Illinois, is reportedly in a relationship with actor Darius Jackson.

In December 2020 she posted on social media for the first time about having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

The hormonal disorder affects how a woman’s ovaries work and often causes irregular periods, enlarged ovaries, and can make getting pregnant more difficult.
