The actress continued, “I have to say though, it’s bad when people spread rumors about you online, but it’s even worse when they’re right. I mean, I’ve been trying so hard to keep it rock bottom because I’ve got a lot of stuff going, you know? People kept coming up to me and saying, ‘Congratulations,’ and I said, ‘Stop! I have a spirits sponsorship at stake!’ But honestly he was the biggest blessing and I’m so excited. Guys, I’m going to be a mom!”
Keke continued to speak out about her pregnancy, shutting down any critics who might feel “weird” about her having a baby because she was a child star. “I’m 29,” she pointed out, before throwing in a few jokes. “I’m grown up. i have sex I own a house. I stormed the Capitol on January 6th. You know? things adults do!”
Keke has been very reserved about her relationship with Darius. The two became Instagram Officials in 2021, but Keke has since deleted their photos from her page. However, she briefly spoke further about the relationship in November 2021 The Tamron Hall Show. “It became harder to hide,” she admitted. “We spend all our time together and he really is my closest friend, so it’s just going to be something I’m not going to hide something that makes me happy. It won’t be everything you see. My job is my job, but at the end of the day, that’s someone I care about, so why not?”
