Keke Palmer is staying quiet about her relationship status.

The 30-year-old star made an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna on Monday (September 25), where she was asked about where she stands with her 29-year-old boyfriend, Darius Jackson, who drew lots of backlash in July after publicly shaming Keke by criticizing her outfit.

Co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager spoke about Keke attending one of the Los Angeles Beyoncé concerts with Darius on September 4.

“Not y’all trying to get into it! They trying it on the Today show,” Keke joked.

“Yes, life is good. I have nothing but gratitude, honestly. Seriously.”

When Hoda asked if that meant “for the relationship…?” Keke clarified, “I’m not trying to be specific!”

“Well, are y’all together?” asked Jenna.

“I’m going to take a page out of my girl Beyoncé’s book: Mind y’all’s business,” Keke replied, to which Jenna responded, “We will do that.”

She also spent her 30th birthday with Darius.

It’s been seven years since Scream Queens released its last episode, but the campy horror series remains a fan favorite.

That’s at least partly due to the star-studded cast that’s dominated Hollywood in the years since the show went off-air.

Centered around the likes of Emma Roberts, Lea Michele and Jamie Lee Curtis, Scream Queens had no shortage of talent. Of course, the actors have also been handsomely paid for their work both on the series and beyond.

But you might be wondering who has amassed the most impressive net worth over the years.

Earlier this week marked the show’s eighth anniversary. In honor of the occasion, we did some digging and ranked the cast by their estimated net worth. Coming in at first place, the top-earning star has the competition beat by a landslide.

15 Celebrities Who've Denied Using Ozempic & 13 Stars Who Admit They Have https://www.justjared.com/2023/09/21/15-celebrities-whove-denied-using-ozempic-13-stars-who-admit-they-have/ https://www.justjared.com/2023/09/21/15-celebrities-whove-denied-using-ozempic-13-stars-who-admit-they-have/#comments Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:02:27 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2023/09/21/15-celebrities-whove-denied-using-ozempic-13-stars-who-admit-they-have/

Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable medication formulated to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar.

The medication is also known for being a solution to weight loss, which some celebrities have used for that reason, and that reason alone.

Despite Ozempic being a growing weight loss trend, a plastic surgeon confirmed to Us Weekly in March 2023 that it was never meant for people who are near their ideal weight, and that “it’s not even approved by the FDA for casual weight loss.”

Despite that, some celebrities have and still take Ozempic for weight loss. Others have spoken out when accused of taking the drug. With that in mind, we’re looking at celebrities who’ve denied and admitted to taking Ozempic.

Find out what the celebrities have said about Ozempic…

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson continue to subtly respond to those breakup rumors.

The couple, who welcomed their first child together in February, sparked whispers about a possible split after Darius seemingly took issue with an outfit Keke wore to an Usher concert in July.

Darius blasted a report in August, which suggested that he had “moved on” from the relationship. The couple also celebrated Keke‘s 30th birthday together.

They were spotted at another big event on Monday night (September 4) – Beyonce‘s birthday Renaissance World Tour concert in Los Angeles!

Read more about the couple’s night out…

Darius shared some photos and videos from the concert on his Instagram story. In one, he and Keke partook in Beyonce‘s “everybody on mute” challenge during her Renaissance song, “Energy.”

They appeared to be having a fantastic time together!

Keke and Darius are far from the only stars to celebrate Beyonce‘s birthday with the pop titan. We rounded up all of the stars in attendance. The list includes another celebrity couple that is on everyone’s mind.

Keke Palmer is reuniting with Darius Jackson.

Page Six writes that on Saturday (August 26), the Nope star took to Instagram Live to celebrate her 30th birthday with the 29-year-old fitness instructor.

The pair, who were rumored to have split earlier this month, were seen drinking some alcoholic beverages together to celebrate Keke‘s special day.

Keep reading to find out what they said during the live…

In the clip, Keke asked Darius why he’s always so critical of Virgos, which is her astrological sign.

“My mom’s a Virgo, my brother’s a Virgo, my best friend’s a Virgo, my grandma’s a Virgo,” he said before looking over at Keke.

“My partner in crime’s a Virgo,” Darius added.

Keke then thanked Darius for taking her out for her birthday. “I just thank you for making it special for my birthday. That’s so sweet,” she said.

Keke and Darius‘ reunion comes a few months after he publicly criticized her for wearing a sexy outfit to an Usher concert. At the time, Darius responded to a video of Keke rocking a sheer black dress at the singer’s Las Vegas show, writing on Twitter, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.”

It was then rumored that they had split, but Darius later spoke out about the speculation. Find out what he said here.

Darius Jackson is speaking out amid reports that he has “moved on” from Keke Palmer.

Multiple outlets have reported this week that Keke and Darius broke up after two years of dating, adding that the split occurred after he publicly criticized the outfit that she wore to an Usher concert in July.

Keke and Darius welcomed their son Leodis into the world back in February and Darius felt that Keke‘s sheer outfit was inappropriate as she’s now a mom.

In a new People report this week, a source claimed that Darius has “moved on” from the relationship, but it doesn’t sound like he agrees with that sentiment.

Darius took to his reinstated Twitter account on Friday (August 18) and wrote, “I haven’t spoken to anyone about anything or gave permission to anyone to speak for me.. So all these sites & post about me making any type of statement is false..”

Keke has a new song with Usher that seems to be addressing the situation.

It didn’t take Keke long to respond to the shaming: she launched a witty and empowering merchandise line with the logo, “IM A MOTHA’” and wrote in a promotional Instagram post, “To all my mom’s out there, how did your baby change you?? Mine empowered me! On such another level, my perspective changed because when my baby is good I’m GREAT! Look at that face! Gratitude galore.”

Keke and Darius have not been seen together since the social media fiasco.

If you didn’t know, Keke‘s boyfriend Darius Jackson went viral after chastising his girlfriend on social media for her outfit while meeting the 44-year-old superstar backstage at his show.

“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Darius tweeted in response to a video of Keke at the concert before getting a ton of backlash. The two welcomed a baby together earlier in 2023.

“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case,” he then said in a now-deleted tweet, which further ignited rage.

Keke has since seemingly hit back with not only merch, but this upcoming music.

Usher also weighed in on Keke and Darius‘ relationship after the incident. Find out what he said!

Usher Talks Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson's Relationship Drama After She Attended His Show https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/05/usher-talks-keke-palmer-darius-jacksons-relationship-drama-after-she-attended-his-show/ https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/05/usher-talks-keke-palmer-darius-jacksons-relationship-drama-after-she-attended-his-show/#comments Sun, 06 Aug 2023 03:48:52 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/05/usher-talks-keke-palmer-darius-jacksons-relationship-drama-after-she-attended-his-show/

Usher is weighing in on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson‘s relationship drama.

If you missed it, last month the 29-year-old entertainer’s partner went on a rant on Twitter about the outfit Keke wore to attend Usher‘s Las Vegas residency. During the show, Keke joined the hitmaker onstage, and he sang “There Goes My Baby” while she danced.

She seemingly responded to her boyfriend by selling merch emblazoned with what appeared to be a clapback at his complaints about her outfit being too sexual.

In a new interview, Usher opened up about the event, which all went down thanks to his concert.

Keep reading to find out more…

Speaking to People, the “Burn” hitmaker shared his two cents.

“I think everybody’s vision or a version of what they felt happened there just leads you back to just really having a good time in Las Vegas. And that’s what I hope came out of it. Rather, it was a conversation of what was going on with us having fun in front of the audience or conversation about that song,” he said.

Usher continued speaking more broadly about serenading fans onstage, “Every night I’m thinking about how the world now is going to react to this moment that I’ll have with whoever I’m choosing to sing to. But it was a pop moment, and it was fun to have at least conversation going and we just keep it light. I don’t see anything negative happening in Las Vegas.”

After the drama, Keke opened up about motherhood and her body in her first interview after Darius‘ rant.

Keke Palmer Addresses Ozempic Craze & Her Post-Baby Body https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/01/keke-palmer-addresses-ozempic-craze-her-post-baby-body/ https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/01/keke-palmer-addresses-ozempic-craze-her-post-baby-body/#comments Tue, 01 Aug 2023 16:44:08 +0000 Just Jared https://www.justjared.com/2023/08/01/keke-palmer-addresses-ozempic-craze-her-post-baby-body/

Keke Palmer is opening up about her post-baby body, motherhood and expectations.

The 29-year-old superstar’s latest episode of her podcast, Baby, this is Keke Palmer is out now, and Keke talks about the Ozempic controversy, her journey with her body postpartum and why she’s ready for more action roles, the beauty of Lizzo, and more.

The full episode is out on Amazon Music (free with a Prime membership) and Wondery+ now, and will be available everywhere next week.

Keep reading to see what she had to say…

On being ready for more action roles post-baby:

“I was 17 and I told you, I said, mom, I really have a dream of one day doing stuff like Will Smith – I want to be able to do comedy and action. And I was like, ‘I got to get a trainer!’…and I started training and training and training. I was always putting so much pressure on myself and I feel like with Nope, I got a great opportunity to do some action stuff and I definitely had already obtained a pretty fit body. But my frame has always been quite small, so it’s interesting after the baby to see all the extra stuff I have to work with and how much my fear of having extra weight actually became a strength as it pertained to weight training and working out…like it gave me so much more to work with and mold with. And so it’s interesting to see how that’s going to be able to be used for future roles and stuff.”

On body standards as a mom:

“I just had the baby and they want me to be this representation of ‘As a mom, you can blah, blah, blah!’…But also I want to say, like, it’s my job. Like let’s not get crazy and I don’t want people to think that I’m also setting unrealistic standards – because I can afford a trainer. I can afford meal prep. I can afford a lot of things and it’s expensive, but I’m investing in my career because it’s my career to look good. And not even that, but it’s my career choice to have this kind of career that I want to have…I specifically want to be in action. I specifically want to do certain things that would require me [to be fit], you know? So it’s like, it’s a personal choice. And so I never want to put that on anybody. And that’s big for me. Cause I know that a lot of people look at me and I represent a lot of people in different ways.”

On Ozempic:

“So, this is my thing with the Ozempic. It sucks…you know, I get the girls want to get into shape. But I hate that sometimes, you know, Ozempic, from my knowledge, I know it’s been made for people that have diabetes. Ever since the girls have been using it to lose weight, the folks with diabetes ain’t able to get [it], the prices have gone up.”

On Lizzo:

“She loves aesthetics. She’s sexy. She’s a fashion girl. She’s confident. She’s not somebody that is like, ‘Okay, yeah, motherf-ckers, I’m overweight. But why did that mean I’m not sexy? Why did that mean I don’t have a great wardrobe? Why did that mean I’m not stylish, et cetera?’ And so I love that because I do think that there’s this negative connotation that if you’re overweight, all of a sudden that is indicative of how you feel about yourself.”

She also opened up about her sexuality in a candid convo with another superstar.

Embracing Her True Self

Keke expressed the pivotal moment in her life where she questioned whether she could truly be herself.

“The moment where you overthink sh-t. That’s not even me, why am I overthinking this? I guess you just get to the point where I want my life to be my own life,” she shared with Raven-Symoné, who had her own coming-out experience in 2013.

Unspoken Undercurrents

While Keke‘s parents never displayed any negativity about being gay, she acknowledged the existence of an unspoken atmosphere surrounding the topic.

She confessed, “There is like an unsaid thing that can make you feel…because I liked guys too, I was kinda like, ‘Well, we don’t have to talk about it.’ It was like that’s another extra thing that no one really has to know about.”

Exploring Her Life

The actress revealed that at the age of 17, after years of repressing her feelings, she decided to embrace her life and explore her true self without holding back. This marked a turning point in her journey towards acceptance.

“I ultimately just feel like, the acceptance of that part of myself, in general, was a part of my process of being able to have love in my life,” she said.

Breaking Free from Labels

Keke Palmer has been vocal about her aversion to being labeled. She discussed her music video for the song “I Don’t Belong to You,” where she showcased the importance of defining oneself beyond traditional labels. “I don’t feel the need to define nothin’ to nobody, because I’m always changing,” she emphasized.

Love and Acceptance

Keke expressed that accepting and loving all aspects of herself, including her sexuality, was vital to her ability to find love. She acknowledged that the acceptance of her true self played a significant role in her journey towards love and empowerment.

“I ultimately just feel like, the acceptance of that part of myself, in general, was a part of my process of being able to have love in my life,” she said.

A Journey to Strength

The actress and singer shared how becoming a mother to her son Leodis earlier this year had a transformative effect on her self-confidence, and the experience made her feel more powerful and strengthened her mental headspace.

Overcoming Body Image Struggles

In an interview with The Cut, she spoke of her journey towards self-acceptance regarding her post-pregnancy body. With the guidance of her trainer, Corey Calliet, she embraced the changes her body underwent after childbirth and chose to celebrate and cherish her new self.

Supportive Parents

Although Keke felt hesitant about discussing her sexuality openly, she eventually found solace in knowing that her parents were supportive and accepting of whoever she wanted to date. She praised her parents for their understanding and open-mindedness.

A Fear of Judgment

The fear of judgment, compounded by societal perceptions, impacted Keke at a young age. She reflected on how the cancellation of Ellen DeGeneres‘ sitcom after the host came out as gay in 1997 left a lasting impression on her young mind, leading to a fear of being outcasted or labeled.

Embracing Freedom and Authenticity

Keke Palmer‘s story is one of embracing authenticity, exploring love, and ultimately finding empowerment through self-acceptance. Her candidness about her journey towards embracing her sexuality serves as an inspiration to many, encouraging others to live unapologetically and define themselves on their own terms.

“And it’s like, you almost feel that pressure of needing to be perfect,” Darius continued. “And so, it really confused me and infiltrated my mind because not only did I have to hold myself to that perfect standard, I was also holding you to a perfect standard as well. So, any moment of flaw on my side or on your side it was World War III because it’s like…”

“…And now the world sees us,” Keke chimed in.

“Because it’s like, ‘Man, you know, we’re not perfect,” Darius added. He continued, “Its a lot of pressure, because we are very proud and there are things that we want to share…at the same time we do want to be able to maintain the privacy of our relationship, and I feel like we’ve done such a good job at being able to do that.”

Earlier this month, Darius faced immense backlash on social media after he made misogynistic comments about the outfit Keke wore to an Usher concert in Las Vegas.

“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Darius tweeted in response to a video of Keke at the concert.

If you didn’t know, Keke and Darius welcomed their first child into the world back in February.

After receiving backlash for seemingly shaming Keke‘s outfit choice, Darius took to Twitter to defend his words. His follow-up comments aren’t well-received either.

“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case,” he said.

Here’s everything you need to know about Darius.

Keke Palmer is speaking out about her experience in the music industry.

The 29-year-old singer just released a new album Big Boss along with an accompanying film which follows her journey in the industry, including experiences with sexual harassment.

“Bad sh– happens in all industries, obviously, but specifically entertainment,” Keke said.

“We know bad things happen in all of them, but it’s almost like the acting world represents a union and the music industry represents non-union,” she said.

Keke said that while the Me Too movement shook up the acting world, the same thing needs to happen in the music world.

“It’s like everybody is being paid, and everybody’s a crooked cop,” Keke told People. “So, it seems like nothing will ever really come to a head.”

In the film Big Boss, she includes scenes that are not only inspired by real events, but events that actually took place, notably with Trey Songz.

“Those scenes are real,” Keke said. “Those scenes are not actually inspired by that moment. Obviously, people know that moment and are aware of that scenario from when it happened and when I spoke about it. But that just goes to show, that was one of many moments where things go down in this industry.”

If you didn’t see, Keke Palmer‘s two-month old son, Leodis Jackson, made his red carpet debut last month.
