Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson recently captured the hearts of fans by coming together to celebrate Darius’s graduation from the army.
Though the pair refrained from sharing personal family photos from the event on their own social media accounts, fans got a glimpse of the heartwarming day through pictures posted on their son Leodis Andrellton Jackson’s Instagram page (yes, even baby Leo has his online shine). The photos featured moments that hinted at a joyous celebration, where Keke and Darius put their differences aside to support one another for their son’s sake.
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s relationship has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows that have played out in the public eye. The pair first gained attention for their romance after welcoming their son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, in February 2023. However, their relationship faced scrutiny after Darius publicly criticized Keke for wearing a revealing outfit to an Usher concert in July 2023. The incident led to widespread backlash, with many accusing him of shaming her and sparking debates about control and gender roles in relationships.
Shortly after, the couple separated. In November 2023, Keke filed for sole custody of their son and obtained a restraining order against Darius, alleging physical and emotional abuse, including an incident caught on security footage.
Darius denied the allegations and later filed his own restraining order, accusing Keke of being the “primary aggressor” in their relationship. After a back and forth from the courthouse, Keke Paler decided to drop her suit as both parties opted for mediation as a resolution path.

In one of the photos, Jackson is wearing a U.S. Army uniform while holding baby Leo, with his head gently leaning on his father’s chest.
