LIVE REVEAL
The Nope star turned heads back in December as she shocked Saturday Night Live viewers by revealing she was expecting.
On December 3rd, Keke hosted the sketch comedy show, and she was nearly finished with her opening when she shared the news.
She told those watching along: “I’m especially glad to be here though because there’s some rumors going around.
“People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s pregnant,’ ‘Keke’s having a baby,’ and I want to set the record straight: I am!”
The star whipped open her blazer, exposing her growing bump to the camera.
She went on to joke: “I gotta say though, it is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you, y’all, but it is even worse when they’re correct.
“I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low because I got a lot of stuff going on. People kept coming up to me, ‘Congratulations!’ I’m like, ‘Sh, I got a liquor sponsorship on the line. Let the check clear, then we can get to the damn baby shower.’”
The Hollywood star then took a moment to get serious, telling viewers at the time: “Honestly though this has been the biggest blessing.”
IN LOVE
Keke tends to keep the details of her personal life private, and not much is known about her baby daddy who is an aspiring actor.
He also works both in fitness and entertainment, and has a YouTube channel with tens of thousands of followers.
Keke told Bustle about her relationship in March 2022: “This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone. So why would I go out of my way to hide this person?”
She added: “That’s a lot more work than just living in my life and being in my life.”
