Veteran actress, singer and entrepreneur Lauren Keyana popularly known as Keke Palmer just revealed that she's expecting a baby.
The 29-year-old made the exciting announcement during her monologue Saturday night on the popular American late-night show 'Saturday Night Live'.
Keke is expecting her first kid with her boyfriend entertainment and fitness guru Darius Jackson, and she didn't just say it … she showed it!!
In true Keke fashion, the actress started by building up momentum making it look like she was going to dispute the rumours before pulling back her coat and showing off her baby bump to the audience.
"There's some rumours going around, people have been in my comments saying, 'Keke's having a baby, Keke's pregnant,' and I wanna set the record straight ... I am!" An excited Keke said.
She however did not reveal how far along she was, but judging from her bump, she's probably almost in the third trimester.
"I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the net spread rumours about you y'all, but it's even worse when they're correct!" Added the actress as she garnered a roar of laughter from the audience.
The "Nope" lead star actress went on to confess that she has a lot going on at the moment and wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret for as long as she could.
She should have asked Kylie Jenner for some tips.
But now that the secret is out, I can not wait to see the baby bump photos that she'll share and Keke's baby shower!
"I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low 'cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?"
Before adding, "But honestly, this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I'm going to be a mom!"
Keke also took time to address people who still view her as a kid still because she was a child actor and they watched her grow on screen.
"Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor, I just wanna say, look, I'm 29, I'm grown, I have a boyfriend, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do." Said the "Giants" singer.
Wishing Keke and her boyfriend all the best.
