Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson Hang Out Together on Her 30th Birthday
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson are celebrating her milestone birthday together amidst rumours of breakup recently.
The pair who have recently been through controversy, with a source telling PEOPLE earlier this month that Jackson had “moved on” — hung out together as the actress celebrated her 30th birthday on Saturday. During the celebrations, he even described Palmer as his “partner in crime.”
Posting a birthday tribute to Palmer in honor of her special day on X (formerly known as Twitter), Jackson celebrated the mother of his son Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson, who the couple welcomed in February.
“Happy Birthday to a one of a kind being,” the fitness instructor wrote. “Hoping your 30s brings you many joys & triumphs!”
Alongside the birthday message, he posted a sweet video of Palmer spending quality time with their little boy. In the clip, a make-up free Palmer leaned over their son as he lay on a couch and grabbed her finger. “Let ‘em cook,” Palmer said repeatedly as she planted kisses on Leondis while he laughed.
Jackson also seemed to have taken Palmer out for a birthday meal on Saturday, letting fans in on their conversation while dining during an Instagram Live.
“D, know you’ve been taking me out on my birthday as always. I mean, it’s not always my birthday but you always do take me out,” Palmer said to Jackson in a clip obtained by Pop Crave. “But I just thank you for making it special for my birthday, that’s so sweet.”
“I took you out for your birthday, on your birthday, and that’s why we’re out here on your birthday and having drinks on your birthday,” Jackson replied.
“I love that you’re starting to get it,” Palmer said. She then asked Jackson to share with fans what he had said about Virgos, which is the actress’ star sign.
The birthday hangout came after Jackson publicly criticized Palmer’s outfit, worn for Usher’s Las Vegas concert earlier this month.
Neither Jackson or Palmer addressed the status of their relationship publicly at the time.
Palmer herself celebrated turning 30 on Saturday with a — “Durrty Thirty” — photoshoot.
