Darius Jackson, the boyfriend of actress Keke Palmer, faced backlash in July after making critical comments about her outfit. Palmer and Jackson started dating on and off since 2021, but the current status of their relationship remains uncertain. In 2023, they welcomed their first child together, a son named Leodis Jackson. This recent drama surrounding their relationship has led to speculation about their future.
Darius Jackson is the brother of Sarunas Jackson, known for his role on the TV show “Insecure.” Darius, who is also an aspiring actor and fitness trainer, met Palmer in 2021 when she made a cameo appearance on “Insecure.”
Palmer and Jackson’s relationship has been marked by its ups and downs since they first got together in 2021. In March 2022, they deleted romantic Instagram posts about each other, suggesting turmoil in their relationship. However, in an August 2021 post (now deleted), Jackson expressed his love for Palmer and announced their relationship. Despite being a private person, Palmer spoke openly about their relationship, stating that she didn’t want to hide something that made her happy. She described Jackson as her closest friend and the happiest she’s ever felt with someone.
In December 2022, Palmer revealed her pregnancy during an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Although she initially didn’t confirm Jackson as the father, she later mentioned him on her podcast “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.” The couple welcomed their son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, in late February 2023, sharing the news and photos on Instagram.
In June, Palmer celebrated Jackson’s first Father’s Day with a heartfelt Instagram post, expressing her gratitude for his role as a supportive and loving father.
However, their relationship faced controversy in July when Jackson made comments about Palmer’s outfit, sparking online criticism. While Palmer didn’t directly respond to the comments, she shared more photos of herself in the outfit on Instagram. She also released merchandise, titled “I’m a motha,” celebrating motherhood and empowerment.
Jackson’s social media accounts appeared to have been deleted or disabled at the time, and neither Palmer nor Jackson’s representatives commented on the controversy.
In Usher’s music video for “Boyfriend,” Palmer seemingly referenced Jackson’s comments. In the video, she wears a bathrobe and prepares for a night out, but ultimately misses out on the fun due to oversleeping. Her final line, “I’m a mother after all,” appears to be a subtle nod to the controversy and leaves their current relationship status unclear. According to People magazine, Jackson has “moved on” but is still co-parenting with Palmer.
