Keke Palmer is sharing a glimpse of her life as a new mother with fans on Instagram.
In a new video posted yesterday, the actress holds her baby boy, Leo, in her arms while dancing along to music. She wears a pair of tortoiseshell eyeglasses and a black tank top, while little Leo rests on her chest shirtless.
“And to think! Just last April fools I ‘joked’ about being preggers,” the Nope star wrote in the caption. “We manifested you little buddy! I love hanging with you and you just be looking crazy like a caveman. He already tired of me.”
Palmer’s celebrity friends reacted to the adorable post in the comments.
“He said ‘side EYE’ he’s sick and tired,” Skai Jackson commented.
Queen Latifah added a string of emojis that captured her reaction to the sweet clip: “.”
Palmer gave birth to Leo, her first child with boyfriend Darius Jackson, this past February.
“Hey Son!!!!” she announced in an Instagram post. She also added a sweet note in tribute to Jackson, writing, “Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favorite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God! “
Last month, the actress gave fans an update on how motherhood has been treating her.
Captioning a set of photos of herself taking baby Leo out for a walk, she noted, “Learning how to balance it all and looking forward to discovering this new person I am becoming. 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!”
