Keke Palmer Stays Quiet About Relationship Status with Darius Jackson

The outspoken star is keeping her private life to herself.

Singer/actress Keke Palmer is staying mum about her relationship status with Darius Jackson.

The couple went through a public relationship dispute earlier this summer after Jackson seemingly called out Palmer over her attire at Usher's My Way residency performance earlier this summer.

Despite the controversy, Palmer is staying quiet on whether she and Jackson—with whom she shares a son—are still together.

During her Sept. 25 appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, the hosts asked the 30-year-old star about attending a Los Angeles Beyoncé concert with Jackson.

"Not y’all trying to get into it! They trying it on the Today show," joked Palmer, according to PEOPLE.

Hager said, "We want to know if you’re happy." Palmer replied, "Yes, life is good. I have nothing but gratitude, honestly. Seriously."

Kotb asked if Palmer's declaration of happiness included her relationship, and the star replied, "I’m not trying to be specific!"

"Well, are y’all together?" asked Hager. Said Palmer, "I’m going to take a page out of my girl Beyoncé’s book: Mind y’all’s business." Hager responded, "We will do that."

Palmer recently shared a sweet message in response to Jackson, who saluted her for her birthday last month. She wrote, “I love you and Leo! And thank you to everyone for all the birthday love. It’s so hard to reply to everyone but I am so grateful to you all,” she wrote.

The couple welcomed their son, son Leodis Andrellton, in February. During her appearance on Today, Palmer reiterated how "empowered" she feels since becoming a mom.

"Your body has done something insane; you birth a body," Palmer said. "So any insecurities or self-consciousness I had before really did wither away because, like, honey, I did something incredible."

Palmer has also been on a fashion journey, developing an enviable sense of style. She credits stylist Sergio Hudson for that.

“Sergio being beside me made the whole thing that much better because he was acting like my mom, Sharon,” Palmer told Essence of her connection to the designer.

The new mom also expressed gratitude for his fashionable touch while "breathing so much life into me."
