The downfall of Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson's relationship likely wasn't on anyone's 2023 bingo card, especially with how happy the young lovers seemed following the birth of their son, Leodis, at the end of February. They were recently joined by the actresses' mother to record a podcast episode, at which time Keke and her beau discussed the drama unfolding between Summer Walker and Lil Meech. During filming, the Chicago native likely didn't think she'd be facing tests of her own within her romantic relationship.
Since giving birth to her son, Palmer has been more confident in her skin than ever before. She and Jackson have been reaping the benefits of her bodacious body, the new father even posting videos of his co-parent twerking on his Instagram Story for the world to see. They were #CoupleGoals for some, however, Leodis' dad was feeling far less secure in himself when Usher entered the chat. Like so many guests who attend the R&B crooner's Las Vegas residency, Palmer was serenaded by him, and it was no secret that she was loving every minute. To boot, her outfit of the night was a stunning sheer dress, which left her man even more enraged by the interaction.

Darius wasn't in attendance at the show, though he did catch a viral clip on Twitter that he used to vent his feelings. The personal trainer's message came across as judgmental of Keke, and as America's Sweetheart, it wasn't long before her fans began to lay in on him. Now that they've either unfollowed or blocked each other on social media, and traded a few subliminal shots, the discourse has continued to flow into the weekend.
"There's been a lot of talk about Keke's baby daddy, and I've mostly stayed out of it because y'all been covering the bases, but I'd also like to add... I think he underestimated how famous she is," one user speculated. "To me the most disappointing thing about all of this is that Darius did the one thing Keke don’t play with: her business being out there," another person reflected. "All we’ve ever known about this woman is that she’s super talented, gets her BAG & funny as hell," they added, giving the Disney alum her flowers.
