Although the couple tries to keep their relationship out of the public eye, Palmer shocked fans in December 2022 when she presented “Saturday Night Live” and revealed that she was pregnant. “There’s some rumors going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a kid, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I want to set the record right — I am!” she exclaimed, referring to the rumors that were circulating at the time that she was expecting. She then unzipped her jacket, showing the throng her expanding tummy.

Palmer and presenter Jimmy Fallon talked about her child’s astrological sign on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on January 25. She joked that the kid would be born in the late winter or early spring, and that it would either be a Pisces or an Aries. Pisces are considered to be very introspective and emotional beings, so Palmer continued, “I just want to make sure I’m not being too blunt for my baby son.” Now, it appears that Leo the infant is a Pisces by birth!
