Award-Winning Actress Keke Palmer Calls Motherhood Her ‘Greatest Gig of All’
The ‘Hustlers’ star welcomed her first child in February.
Keke Palmer is clearly taking to motherhood. The Nope actress and her partner, Darius Jackson, welcomed a baby boy, Leodis Andrelton Jackson, last month.
While Palmer has shared funny tidbits of family life on Instagram since, the new mom got candid about motherhood in a sweet post on March 20.
The NAACP Image Award-winning actress shared a collage of photos while out and about with baby Leo. Palmer wore a long brown jacket, casual jeans and sneakers while she gazed into her baby’s stroller.
“Mommy’ing is coming along if you were looking for an update. I have juggled quite a few careers but this is my greatest gig of all,” she gushed in her caption.
Palmer added that while she’s still learning to balance everything as a new mom, she’s thoroughly enjoying the process.
“I will never be the same again, but if you thought I was a bad mama jamma before, you can’t imagine the greater purpose my son has given my life!” she added.
The actress joked that she’s been spending a lot of time “fake shopping” by adding baby essentials to her Amazon shopping cart.
“Mom ‘stuff’ is a big business, who knew.😝😅❤️🙏🏾🔥😘🤦🏾♀️,” she quipped.
Plenty of Palmer’s 12.3 million followers on the platform chimed in to comment on her new season of life.

“Awww motherhood looks SO beautiful on you! 😍🙌🏽,” Valery Ortiz added.
