If there's one thing we absolutely can't argue, it's that motherhood looks incredibly becoming on Keke Palmer. The 29-year-old shared the exciting news of her pregnancy with the world on Saturday Night Live last year and has since given birth to a baby boy named Leodis. In the time since the young one's birth, the True Jackson VP alum has given her Instagram followers plenty of updates on her new life, including the vivacious reveal of her "new body" earlier this week. According to Palmer, becoming a mother gave her the chest, hips, and booty of her dreams – all without having to go under the knife.

Following that, the Chicago-born starlet revealed how her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, is coping with first-time fatherhood. "Which one is milk wasted?" she wrote over a photo on her Story of the fitness guru sleeping on the couch, a cap pulled over his eyes to shield them from the light. Behind him lay an almost-empty bottle of milk, and on his chest, we see an iPhone as well as little Leodis, who's also soundly asleep in his dad's care.

Keke Palmer and Her Boys

Prior to the announcement of her pregnancy, little was known about Palmer's romantic relationship with Jackson. They were together for approximately one year when the former child star found out she was expecting, and we've since seen more frequent appearances from him on his partner's social media. On Friday (April 7) night, Keke posted a video encouraging followers to come and stream her and her man on her Twitch channel, where they didn't hesitate to entertain viewers.

"Hey guys," the mother of one said in the brief clip from last night. "First of all, let's just get into how gorgeous I look," she boasted while catching sight of her own reflection in the camera. "What do you think?" she asked Jackson. "It's giving what needs to be gave." He added, "This might be the first time I've seen you this touched up since... post-child. You look beautiful." Of course, Keke Palmer couldn't go on without giving the father of her baby his flowers, telling him he also looks good.
