Keke Palmer has announced she is pregnant with her first baby.
The actress shared the news while hosting Saturday Night Live on Dec. 3. During her opening monologue, Keke addressed speculation that she’s expecting, before throwing open her jacket to reveal her baby bump.
The next thing Keke said was that she is “so excited” to have children and that it is the “biggest blessing.”
The 29-year-old spoke candidly about starting a new chapter in her life and what her future held before making her exciting announcement.
In addition to “pouring into myself more and saying no a lot more,” the Nope actress reflected on the last year telling Glamour, “My 28th year has been highly insightful and empowering for me to step into my autonomy in an even crazier way than I ever have. I feel like when God gives you gifts, you want to make sure you do what you need to do with them. Do what you’re meant to do.”
As for what she’s meant to do now? “A big part of that is taking responsibility over myself and protecting and loving myself,” she said. “Stepping into that higher-self persona and observing me.”
The Emmy winner also revealed how she manages to keep control of her romantic life as a public figure.
