Is Keke Palmer Dating Darius Jackson After Rumored Breakup? She Says…

Their outing to see Queen Bey comes just a few months after Darius sparked controversy by criticizing the outfit Keke wore to an Usher concert on social media. As the fitness instructor wrote on X—formerly known as Twitter—at the time, “It’s the outfit tho..you a mom.”

Weeks later, the pair, who began dating in 2021, reportedly broke up, though neither ever confirmed a split.

However, she did subtly shade Darius when she starred in Usher’s recent music video “Boyfriend.” At the end of the vid, she answers a phone call saying, “Dammit, I missed the show! S–t, I’m so tired. I am a mother, after all.”

Despite the drama, when Keke celebrated her 30th birthday, her man was by her side.

“Thank you for taking me out on my birthday, as always,” the Nope star told Darius in an Instagram Live on Aug. 26. “I mean, it’s not always my birthday, but you always do take me out. But I just thank you for making it special for my birthday. That’s so sweet.”
