Los Angeles, February 15 – Hollywood actress and singer Keke Palmer is speaking out about the changes she has made since becoming a mother.
The actress and singer has said that she is "more intentional" with her work and time since becoming a mother, according to ‘Female First UK’.
The actress will only take on projects if she can balance them with the demands of being a single working mother to her two-year-old son, Leodis "Leo", whom she shares with her ex-partner, Darius Jackson.
When asked how The Burbs actress is coping with balancing everything, Keke told ‘People’ magazine, "There are actually three of me. It's a lot. I feel like after (having) my son, I've become even more intentional with what I choose to do, how I choose to spend my time, you know? I love everything that I do, but I think I'm always conscious of having a good team, to make sure that I can handle it all, and be able to organize it, because it is a lot, but I do love it”.
The actress's son reminds her that it is okay to take things slow in life. Keke, 32, explained, "He's teaching me, most importantly, just how to relax and how to live, you know what I mean? Like when you see your child, it really is a mirror to you with your own life, but you're able to give them what you need to give to yourself. So it's been a real blessing". "My son is everything to me, you know?"
According to ‘Female First UK’, and the singer, who split from Darius in August 2023 after almost two years of dating, shared that Leo has recently started talking.
She added, "The process of seeing him grow from being a little baby that didn't speak to having words, opinions, and a personality is incredible".
Last year, Keke said she wanted her bundle of joy to know that he "can always become someone new".
When asked what she hopes Leo learns from her, Keke told Extra, "Just to never be afraid to evolve. I think we get so caught up in our storylines, and even when they’re tough, we have a hard time getting out of them, but you can always shape-shift. You can always become someone new and let your happiness, let your joy and your peace be that guiding force".
