Keke Palmer’s baby Leodis “Leo” is giving new meaning to Short King Summer! The 18-month-old boy looked adorable in a tiny blue suit at his mom’s birthday party and the pictures are adorable.
The Bosses star shared several pictures of her 31st birthday, where she was all dressed up for the celebration. Her hair was tied back, her makeup was professionally applied, and she looked stunning in a silky champagne dress covered in gold jewelry. But Leo stole the show. If you slide to the end of the carousel, you’ll see her little boy wearing a light blue jacket with black lapels and a white button-down shirt underneath. He paired it with black pants and little black dress shoes – and in this outfit, he’s Oscars-ready! Palmer is holding him in the photos, and he even looks at the camera to smile. A birthday miracle!

Leo chews on his hand in another photo, where Palmer kisses him on the cheek while her ex (and Leo’s father) Darius Jackson kisses him on the other cheek. The sweet snap is a perfect example of how two people can still enjoy a co-parenting relationship even when they’re apart.
“I don’t want to talk too long, I just want to make something clear! I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR!” Palmer wrote in her lengthy caption, adding that on her birthday she wanted to celebrate her community “because they are the ones that have brought me this far.” She continued, “We are all alone in this world, we come in alone and we go out alone, but what we share is this experience. In this shared experience we know what it is like to be one in community, in this community God lives. In this love, this hope and this joy. I am forever grateful to know and have that.”
Celebrities and fans wished her well. “Happy birthday!!! ❤️,” wrote Halle Bailey, who is also a mother of a boy. Issa Rae commented: “Happy birthday icon!” Christina Milian said: “Happy birthday beautiful lady!”
“LEO is getting so big🥹,” wrote someone else.
In an interview with E! News Earlier this month No The star revealed that motherhood has changed her life “in ways I didn’t expect.” She added: “The funny thing is that having a child is the most responsible thing you can be. Having a child brings with it a certain level of responsibility that nothing else can.”
“I have to be the best for him and to be the best for him I have to be the best I can be. I’m not going to be the best for him if I don’t focus on the things that make me the best I can be.”
