3 february 2026 в 21:13
Keke Palmer has always been very protective of her personal life, and there are good reasons for that. The talented actress and singer has been under the spotlight since childhood, making her film debut in «Akeelah and the Bee» in 2006 at the age of 13. Since then, Keke’s star has only risen to new heights in the entertainment industry, bringing with it a multitude of rumors about her personal life. Despite all the speculation, Keke has always emphasized that she does not intend to define her sexuality, but that hasn’t stopped fans from making assumptions. So, who has Keke Palmer dated throughout her career?
We will recall her relationship history below.
It is believed that Keke dated Rodney from around 2010 to 2013. Although she never confirmed her relationship with Rodney, in 2012 during her appearance on Sway In The Morning, she hinted at it. Responding to rumors that she was living with Rodney, she seemed to confirm that they were indeed together but did not live in Atlanta. «Why would I move to Atlanta?» Keke told the hosts. However, she confirmed that they lived in California. When Rodney was invited to comment on the rumors, he even said he found the tabloid headlines about his relationship with Keke «funny».
«I'm the kind of person who doesn’t like to beat around the bush… I know what everyone thinks about the rumors with Meek Mill, but it doesn’t matter to me because we get along very well». Although Keke has never directly confirmed or denied a possible romance, she has been more than willing to discuss speculation about her personal life.
This may be Keke’s most candid statement about her love life. At the end of February, Keke was spotted in Hollywood holding hands with musical artist Stin. They had just bought coffee when paparazzi snapped a few photos. Stin and Keke have actually been linked since 2019. Keke, who rarely shares details about her personal life on social media, even appeared in a video on Stin’s account in September 2020. She also hinted at a potential relationship while speaking with Page Six shortly before the holidays at the end of 2020! «Yeah, you know, I have a little love in my life, there’s love there», - she shared with the publication. «You know, it wouldn’t be a love life if I shared it with you because that would make it public. So just know that your girl Keke is never alone—never!»
Keke and Darius started dating in 2021, and in 2023 they welcomed a child, Leodis «Leo» Jackson. While the couple seemed to have a happy and fun relationship, everything changed after the birth of their son. Darius sparked public outrage by criticizing Keke on X (formerly Twitter) for the outfit she wore when Usher sang to her on stage.
«It's about the outfit… you’re a mom», - Darius wrote. He then confirmed his words in a separate tweet.
The couple seemed to have resolved their differences, but fans were still outraged by Darius’s controversial criticism of the Nickelodeon alum. By the end of 2023, Keke confirmed that they had broken up when she filed for a restraining order against Darius and requested sole custody of their child. Furthermore, Keke accused Darius of domestic violence in her statement, claiming that he «invaded my home without my knowledge or consent, threatened me, and then physically attacked me—lunged at me, hit me, threw me on the couch, and took my phone when I said I was going to call the police», - according to People.
Keke and Darius exchanged accusations of violence, and both filed lawsuits against each other. However, after court-ordered mediation, Keke and Darius were able to peacefully agree on joint custody of their son Leo. The Nickelodeon alum even stated that she is proud of her ex-husband in her 2024 book «Master of My Life»
