Keke Palmer confirms pregnancy rumor while hosting ‘SNL’

There’s a baby on the way for Keke Palmer.

The actress confirmed her first pregnancy during her hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” by opening her jacket to reveal her bare baby bump.

“There’s some rumors going around,” Palmer said on Saturday’s episode. “People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby. Keke’s pregnant.’ And I want to set the record straight. I am!”

The reveal earned a big round of applause from the audience as Palmer, 29, laughed and posed with her bump.

Last year, Palmer went public with her relationship with Darius Daulton by sharing Instagram photos she has since taken down.

“He’s really my closest friend,” Palmer said during a November 2021 interview on the “Tamron Hall” show. “It just becomes a thing where I’m not going to hide something that makes me happy.”

The pregnancy announcement marks the latest news in a busy year for Palmer. She also helped lead the voice cast of the Pixar “Toy Story” spinoff “Lightyear” and starred in the horror-thriller “Nope.”

Last week, the New York Film Critics Circle honored Palmer with its best supporting actress award for her “Nope” portrayal of a fame-hungry horse rancher eager to capture footage of a UFO.

Palmer rose to fame as a child actress in the film “Akeelah and the Bee” and on the Nickelodeon series “True Jackson, VP.” She also previously co-hosted the ABC talk show “Strahan, Sara & Keke” with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines.
