Keke Palmer is celebrating a major milestone: her son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson, is officially two years old!
The actress and multi-hyphenate star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a touching tribute to her baby boy, marking his special day with an emotional message.
“My life can and will never be the same. You have made me who I will forever be, a MOTHA,” Palmer, 30, wrote. “Leodis, from the moment you were in my stomach, I knew you were a strong little boy. I could just feel it! Even though you are no longer in my stomach, you are, in fact, my greatest strength.”
She continued, “Idk if it’s telepathy or what but you have taught me that I can do anything, and as long as you are watching, I promise I won’t let you down. Strong baby, strong mommy!!!”
The birthday boy also shared a series of adorable party snapshots on his own Instagram page, capturing the excitement of the day.
“Happy Birthday TO MEEEEE! I had the best birthday ever!!” the post read. “It started off with my mommy braiding my hair. She really annoyed me with that, but we were watching Nemo so I was distracted enough.”
The celebration continued with a fun-filled party featuring all of Leo’s favorite things. “Mommy got all the things I like to play with when I go to My Gym. She even got Blippi to stop by—he’s my Jay-Z hahahaha!” the caption continued.
Palmer welcomed Leodis on February 25, 2023 with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson., who is currently serving in the army.
Though Darius couldn’t be there in person, his brother and father were present to celebrate the occasion.
Leo made sure to give a special shoutout to his dad, acknowledging his presence in spirit. “I was looking for my dad, but he’s serving currently, and I felt him in spirit. Was very happy to see my uncles and my grandpa and happy we were all there together. My friends and family, new and old—I am a very, very GRATEFUL kid.”
Happy Birthday to baby Leodis!
