Keke Palmer recently discussed the changes she has experienced since becoming a mother to her son, Leo. She opened up about feeling fiercely protective and making difficult but positive choices since his birth. Palmer mentioned that motherhood has impacted every aspect of her life, including her career, and has made decision-making easier for her. She credits her son for giving her the strength to make important changes in her life.
Palmer welcomed Leo in February 2023 with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. However, the couple split less than a year later in October 2023. Palmer subsequently requested a temporary restraining order after alleging that Jackson physically abused her multiple times during their relationship. She also filed for temporary sole custody of their son, which was granted in November 2023 along with the restraining order.
Following Palmer’s allegations, Jackson filed his own response stating that she was the primary aggressor in their relationship. The restraining order against Palmer was extended by six months after a planned hearing was postponed to July 2024. Despite the ongoing legal battle with Jackson, Palmer is focused on motherhood and her son Leo. She emphasized the intense level of protection she feels for him, indicating a deep commitment to his well-being.
In addition to navigating motherhood and legal matters, Palmer has partnered with Chips Ahoy! to promote the brand’s new recipe for the MMMmproved Chips Ahoy! Cookie. She highlighted the improved taste, crunch, texture, and packaging of the cookies. Palmer also announced the Chips Ahoy! MMMProved Getaway Sweepstakes, where one winner and three friends will have a luxury weekend retreat at a Malibu beach house inspired by the cookies.

She expressed her enthusiasm for the sweepstakes and the chance to provide fans with a fun and unique experience. Despite the challenges she has faced in her personal life, including her split from Jackson and legal battles, Palmer remains committed to her work, motherhood, and creating positive experiences for her audience. Through her partnership with Chips Ahoy! and her dedication to her son Leo, Palmer continues to navigate the complexities of her life with strength and resilience.
