‘Nope’ Star, Keke Palmer Announces Pregnancy During ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue

Former child actress Keke Palmer has made public the fact that she’s now expecting a child of her own in the most grandiose of ways, during her Saturday Night Live monologue.

“There’s some rumors going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am!” Palmer said as she revealed the growing baby bump hidden behind her long gray jacket.

“I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you y’all, but it’s even worse when they’re correct. I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low, cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?” she continued. “… But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I’m going to be a mom.”

She also added, “Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor, I just wanna say, look, I’m 29, I’m grown, I have sex, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do.”
