Triple threat superstar Keke Palmer shared a cute “mommy-and-me” moment on Instagram with her 1-month-old son, Leodis “Leo” Andrelton Jackson, on Sunday.
Looking flawless in her natural state and donning octagon-framed glasses, Keke held cute baby Leo against her skin while dancing and swaying to Sada Baby’s “Slide.”
Most of the video comprised Leo glancing in another direction while his mom looked directly into the camera with her upper lip furl. Toward the end of the video, Keke kissed Leo, prompting him to look at the camera with a cute, funny, confused expression.
“And to think! Just last April fools I ‘joked’ about being preggers [pregnant]…we manifested you, little buddy! I love hanging with you and you just be looking crazy like a caveman.”
She ended the post’s caption with, “He already tired of me.”

The April fools joke Keke referred to was the deleted April 2022 tweet where the Akeelah and the Bee actress posted a photo of her in a robe with her shirt lifted, revealing a pregnant stomach. She wrote, “I’ve officially joined the summer MOM club” above the photo.
The joke confused many social media users until the “Bottoms Up” singer explained it was all a joke.
“I don’t lie.. But I do tell JOKES! Haha Happy April Fool’s Day y’all, I know most of y’all wouldn’t believe me.”
She added, “I will be a mom one day and me and the baby both gon’ be silly as hell together hahaha.”

The manifestation worked. Keke and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, welcomed Leo on February 25, announcing his birth two days later on Instagram.

About a week after giving birth, the Nope star took to Instagram to applaud single mothers for raising children independently, highlighting that it takes a village to raise a child and many single mothers do it without the said village.
