Keke Palmer recently reflected on the day she first met her now-boyfriend Darius Jackson, and why she made the first move.
During a recent appearance on “The Terrell Show” last week, the actor said he first met Jackson at a party for HBO’s “Insecure.” Palmer, who appeared in the show’s fifth and final season, explained that while at the party, she learned that Jackson is the younger brother of another cast member on the show, Sarunas J. Jackson.
The singer, who released an album and movie titled “Big Boss” last month, said that after some encouragement from a friend, she approached the younger Jackson and asked if he wanted to take a picture with her.
“Here’s the thing, it’s really good,” Palmer said during the June 1 episode. “But he has this personality where he’s like, ‘You to know Are you OK?”
When she approached him, Palmer said she wasn’t initially looking for love, but quickly realized it was “a love.”
She said, “He’s just a sweet boy.”

The couple welcomed a boy together named Leodis in February.
The “No” actor has been candid on social media about the challenges of fatherhood and her life as a new mom.
In April, she told People that she wants new moms to fight societal pressures to lose weight or return to their pre-pregnancy bodies.
“The biggest thing I would say to any new mom is to do what you can when you can, whatever makes you feel good,” she said.
Speaking about workout regimens for new moms, she later added: “If that’s not what you’re worried about, don’t be.”
