Does Keke Palmer Have a Boyfriend? All about Her Relationship with Darius Jackson

Keke Palmer’s boyfriend is Darius Jackson, a self-described actor, athlete, and analyst. However, it is unclear if the two are still in a relationship after unfollowing each other on social media. Here’s what we know.

Keke Palmer walked the red carpet during the “Nope” premiere, looking sleek in a Wayman and Micah-styled ensemble. The actress donned a Marc Jacobs cropped white corset top, a long black skirt, and black platform boots, paired with black gloves.

Palmer’s look drifted from her “Nope” character, which is more conservative in the film. Nevertheless, she looked stunning.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Marc and his artistry for years, so I jumped at the opportunity to wear one of his designs for the premiere,” she said. “It made me feel powerful and effortless at the same time, which is very hard to do.”

Palmer attended the premiere alone, although she is known to be dating Darius Jackson. Here’s a look at their relationship behind closed doors.

WHO IS KEKE PALMER’S BOYFRIEND, DARIUS JACKSON?

Jackson alleges that he is an actor, athlete, and analyst, working with Inspire Fitness US and Bleav Podcast Network. Although he once had an Instagram for curious fans, the account has been deleted. He is also known as the brother of Sarunas Jackson, an actor starring in “Insecure.”

Jackson reportedly met Palmer at Rae and Diddy’s Memorial Day party, but fans first caught a glimpse of their relationship when he posted a birthday greeting for the former child star in May 2021. Palmer wasn’t shy to post about her boyfriend, revealing that she dislikes being “too mushy.” She wrote:

“It feels really nice to not be afraid to show this kind of care for someone that I don’t share the same blood with. I thought it could never happen. I can be quite guarded, but I appreciate you for being a safe space.”

Praising each other online became second nature for the couple as they showed the world their love. Palmer spoke about her relationship again in March 2022, claiming, “This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone. So why would I go out of my way to hide this person?”

RUMORS OF THEIR BREAKUP STARTED IN MARCH 2022

However, fans noticed that Jackson has since disappeared from Palmer’s Instagram, including all her posts about him. Jackson did the same, and the two unfollowed each other on the platform, sparking breakup rumors.

Palmer once said she would consider herself single until she was married, which is why it was a shock that she showed affection towards Jackson.

Palmer prefers keeping her personal life private, which is probably why she hasn’t confirmed nor denied any rumors. The “Proud Family” star previously claimed that she wanted to separate her personal life from work and did not want to date someone from the same industry.

WHO HAS KEKE PALMER DATED?

Palmer’s dating history remains mainly private. However, some names have been linked to Palmer, including Meek Mill and her “Brotherly” co-star, Quincy Brown.

The “Bachelorette” star, Mike Johnson, also famously asked her out publicly. Unfortunately, Palmer denied his pursuance because she felt ambushed by his approach. Palmer also reportedly dated Mae Seven’s Styn but neither confirmed nor denied the news.

However, the paparazzi once spotted them together in Hollywood. Photos showed Palmer and Styn were sweet and affectionate while bonding over a cup of coffee. One snapped photo showed the artist helping Palmer correctly place her face mask. Meanwhile, another photo showed her resting one leg on his thighs.
