Palmer penned a note that was addressed to her infant son as well as her many fans. “Hey Son!!!!” Palmer began, adding: “Born during Black History Month, with a name to match! LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.”
The prolific actress also noted to her fans that “I’m not hiding the world from my son. I’m hiding my son from the world. Haha.” She then quickly followed that up with: “I’m just playing, my baby face is on this slide … And this slide.”
Palmer, who won her Primetime Emmy for her role in the Facebook Watch series Turnt Up with the Taylors in 2021, showed the three of them right after the birth in the hospital.
And then followed that up with a photo of Palmer cradling her son as Jackson gently touched her head.
The Nope and Pimp star first notified the public while hosting Saturday Night Live that the rumors of her pregnancy with Jackson, a fitness expert and former football player, was indeed true.
“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 during her opening monologue, unbuttoning her long jacket to reveal her baby bump.
And now, on Feb. 27, this particular journey has concluded with the arrival of their son, Leodis.
