Keke Palmer recently found herself in an awkward situation on the Club Shay Shay podcast, where host Shannon Sharpe seemingly hinted at a potential pregnancy.
In a hilarious, sneaky moment, Shannon casually attempted to uncover whether the star might be expecting another baby, leading to a playful exchange that left everyone laughing.
Before the Club Shay Shay podcast interview, the 31-year-old mother was rumored to be pregnant shortly after reuniting with her baby daddy, Darius Jackson, for their co-parenting duties.
Keke’s sparked speculation after sharing photos from her birthday celebration in August. In one of the photos, the actress appeared slightly bloated while one of the guests held her stomach, which caused fans to wonder if she was expecting her second baby.
However, Keke Palmer did not react to the rumors until her recent interview on the former NFL star’s podcast.
The moment unfolded when Shannon Sharpe slyly offered Keke a liquor sponsorship, hinting at her drinking habits as part of the conversation.
“Is it true…like you have a liquor sponsor?” Shannon asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Caught off guard but quick on her feet, Keke responded, “No, no… Do I have a liquor sponsor? I was just thinking about that. But go ahead with your question.”
What followed was Shannon’s not-so-subtle attempt to dig deeper. “Are you pregnant? Do you want to get one?” he asked, pointing to a bottle of Le Portier’s Shay VSOP Cognac on the table.
Keke didn’t hesitate, reaching for the bottle and retorting, “Let me taste it.” Her move caused Shannon to try to stop her in a panic, blurting out, “No, no!”
Sensing the humor in the moment, Keke laughed and quipped, “Why not? I’m not pregnant,” before looking at Shannon with mock suspicion.
Refusing to give up, Shannon added, “You’re not breastfeeding anymore?” feigning innocence.
Keke, ever the queen of comebacks, saw through his ploy and replied with a grin, “That was really cute how you did that. I love how you tried that.”
Keke Palmer welcomed her first child, son Leodis “Leo” Andrellton, on Feb. 25, 2023, with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson.
