Palmer previously confirmed rumors of her pregnancy during her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this past December.

“There’s some rumors going around. People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby,’ ‘Keke’s pregnant.’ And I want to set the record straight. I am,” she said in her opening monologue before revealing her baby bump.

Keke then appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and accidentally unveiled the sex of her baby by speaking on his possible astrological signs.

As Keke Palmer has told us many times before, she stays working, new mother or not! She was recently crowned ‘Best Supporting Actress’ by the New York Film Critics Circle for her role as Emerald in Jordan Peele’s Nope, and will soon star alongside Sacha Baron Cohen in the forthcoming film Super Toys.

The two will play “groovy ’70s toy sales reps on a life-and-death mission to save themselves, their marriage, and their live-wire 12-year-old daughter while on the road in Middle America,” according to a press release.

Congratulations Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson! Welcome to parenthood!
