Keke Palmer wants another child
Keke Palmer "would love" to have another child. The Nope actress is currently single but she admitted she is always thinking about the possibility of having a sibling for her two-year-old son Leodis, who she has with former partner Darius Jackson. Asked if she wants more children, she told People magazine: "I would love to. It's one of those things I think about all the time. It's like, when that's going to happen, if that's going to happen, how that's going to happen." Despite their public break-up last year, Keke and Darius are on much better terms now and she thinks they have "grown a lot". Discussing how the split inspired her new album, Just Keke - which she shared with her former partner first - she said: "I think we both have grown a lot. "Life is funny that way. Sometimes things happen, and they teach you about yourself, good or bad, and then you have to decide what to do with it." The 31-year-old star insisted the most important thing when it comes to co-parenting with Darius is being "at your best for the baby" and putting their differences aside for the sake of what is best for their son. She said: "If the interpersonal drama becomes bigger than that, well, then they're not co-parenting. They're just being selfish. "For us, that was the big thing. 'Can we get on the same page? Can we co-parent? Can we actually put Leo first?' And then the closure piece is like, 'I'm okay with that being all that it is. Because I don't want to be in something that makes me unhappy, or you either.' You can't make people who you want them to be. You have to accept them for who they are." Although it was Father's Day earlier this month, Leodis didn't get to spend it with his dad because of Darius' work commitments. Keke explained: "We celebrated with my dad. His dad, Darius, is in the military, so he's not able to be as around, but [he's] making sure he's getting what he needs to get and doing good for our son."

Keke Palmer reveals the origins of her son's unusual name
Keke Palmer's ex-boyfriend "made up" their son's name. The 31-year-old actress - whose real name is Lauren Keyana - welcomed Leodis into the world with her now ex-partner Darius Jackson in February 2023, and revealed that the former NFL star wanted the moniker to be a combination of both of their names. Speaking on Scott Evans' House Guest podcast, she said: "Darius actually made his name. He wanted both our names, which is so crazy. "So yeah, that was him trying to put like Darius and Lauren, like Leodis, like it was just too much, but I said, 'Hey, let's do it. It's adorable." The former Nickelodeon star joked that "anything went" at that time as far as she was concerned because she was pregnant, and then began to admire how the name started to sound as if it carried some sort of historical prestige. "I was pregnant, anything went. It's adorable, ... and then also it sounded like an old name. "He sounded like he was marching with [Martin Luther King Jr.]. It's like Leodis Andrellton Jackson. He's gonna be on somebody's campaign." Keke split from Darius in October 2023, and she obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order over the "physical and emotional abuse" that she alleged was inflicted on her, but she recently admitted that she felt "grateful" that the two can just co-parent their son together. Speaking on 'CBS Mornings', she told host Gayle King: "I gotta be honest, I would've never thought that I would be where I am now, and so I'm very grateful that this has now been the outcome and we've been able to coexist in this way and show up for our son, and just be in a different place. It's a real blessing. "That's the best way that I can explain it." The Nope actress previously admitted that turning 30 had put her in a "different headspace" and she had found "peace" since becoming a mother. She told PEOPLE: "I do feel like being 30, it's put me in a different head space that's allowed me to kind of feel more observational about my life. "I'm not so in the weeds of everything. I'm really trusting and having faith that everything will work out as it should. I think so much of that peace has come from my son."
