He's only a few months old, but already, the young boy is a Hollywood superstar.

It was just a few months ago that Keke Palmer bravely welcomed her first child, Leodis Andrelton Jackson, into the world. Already, however, the young boy is making is red carpet debut alongside his famous mother and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. The couple stepped out for the closing night screening of her upcoming Big Boss visual album during the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival, both Leo and his father rocking all-black outfits for their first major public appearance together.

While the boys kept it casual with their looks, Palmer was as extra as ever in a cheetah-print jumpsuit that perfectly hugs her "new body." As you may recall, the Jump In! starlet previously boasted on Instagram about how the months following pregnancy have seen major changes in her body. Specifically, she's happy to see natural enhancements in her chest, hips, and booty area, which Palmer admits she lacked confidence in in the past.

While motherhood is obviously the main thing on her agenda at this time, fans are happy to see the Chicago native continuing her streak of keeping busy. Earlier this month, she gave the world a taste of her often-forgotten about music talents. It came in the form of a new single, "Waiting," which will appear on May's Big Boss. The project was written and directed by Palmer herself, and will be exclusively available on KeyTV, YouTube, and Facebook on Saturday, the 13th.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson have also taken their little one to a Halos baseball game recently. Following that, she was honoured with a Vanguard Award from the Los Angeles LGBT Centre for her contributions to the queer community. It's been a huge year for the Disney Channel alum already, and we can't wait to see what she has planned for the future.
