Keke Palmer<\/strong><\/a> and Darius Jackson <\/strong><\/a>celebrated her 30th birthday together amid reports that they split earlier this month.<\/p>\n The pair chatted it up on Instagram Live as Darius, 29, took the former Nickelodeon star out for a special birthday meal on Saturday, August, 26. Despite the drama surrounding them after Darius mom-shamed Keke<\/a> for the sheer outfit she wore while attending an Usher<\/strong><\/a> concert in July, he had nothing but positive things to say about her.<\/p>\n \u201cVirgos don\u2019t believe the hype, they are the biggest spokesperson for themselves,\u201d Darius said before calling Keke his \u201cpartner in crime.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to their special one-on-one time, Darius shared a special birthday tribute for the \u201cStandards\u201d singer.<\/p>\n \u201cHappy Birthday to a one of a kind being. Hoping your 30s brings you many joys & triumphs!\u201d he wrote via Twitter alongside a video of Keke with their son, Leodis<\/a>, whom they welcomed in February.<\/p>\n Keke, for her part, celebrated her milestone birthday by posting sexy moments from a photoshoot. Some of the snapshots featured the Illinois native topless in sexy underwear and others in a form-fitting leather bodysuit. One picture stood out more than others, as Keke flaunted her backside and exposed a tattoo of Darius\u2019 birthday, \u201cJanuary 21, 1994.\u201d<\/p>\n The Hustlers actress and Darius maintained a lowkey relationship ever since they started dating in August 2021. Keke shocked fans when she announced they were expecting baby No. 1 during her Saturday Night Live<\/em> debut monologue in December 2022. They welcomed their son, Leodis, a.k.a. \u201cLeo,\u201d two months later and became a sweet family of three.<\/p>\n However, Keke and Darius hit a rough patch after he publicly expressed his dislike of her outfit when she attended an Usher, 44, concert<\/a> in Las Vegas with friends.<\/p>\n The True Jackson, VP<\/em> star rocked a see-through maxi dress<\/a> with a mini black bodysuit underneath, highlighting her fabulous curves. While fans went wild over the daring ensemble, Darius mom-shamed her on Twitter, writing, \u201cIt\u2019s the outfit tho \u2026 you a mom<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe live in a generation where a man of the family doesn\u2019t want the wife [and] mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others [and] he gets told how much of a hater he is ,\u201d he wrote in a follow-up tweet, doubling down on his feelings. \u201cThis is my family [and] my representation. I have standards [and] morals to what I believe. I rest my case.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans believed Keke and Darius quietly split after the incident, though neither of the pair publicly addressed the situation or confirmed a breakup.<\/p>\n
