Bumping and glowing that’s Keke Palmer! On Monday, the expecting mom shared a new maternity picture on her Instagram.
The photo, taken by David LaChapelle, depicts the actress standing on top of a blue planet-like ball, wrapped in a sheer yellow fabric, with a crown on top of her head.
“its giving POETRY. it’s giving MICHAEL ANGELO. it’s giving SISTINE CHAPEL. it’s giving MASTERPIECE,” she captioned the picture. “behold, a mother, a father and the blessed baby we await in pure awe. the greatest gift from above we could ever dream. we can’t wait to meet you little one! we are so glad to be your earth parents as God’s hands are placed so gently over your life.”
Actress Ryan Destiny commented under the post, “It’s giving everything!” Culinary influencer Nasim Lahbichi wrote, “NOW KEKE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WE WERENT READY FOR YOU TO SERVE INTERSTELLAR MOTHER MARY ??? this is stunnin.”
Palmer is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Darius Daulton. The 29-year-old revealed the big news during her opening Saturday Night Live monologue last month.
“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,” she announced. “You know, 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. But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited guys — I’m gonna be a mom!”

Since breaking the news, Palmer has been proudly showing her bump and seems to be enjoying motherhood so far. Last month, in a TikTok video, she showed off her preggo moves in a cute pink and green dress to “Use Ta Be My Girl” by The O’Jays.

And recently she shimmered in a silver gown while accepting Best Supporting Actress for her role in Nope at the New York Film Critics Circle.
But so far one of her biggest milestones so far has been the ultimate cure to her acne. Perks of the pregnancy glow include clearer skin, which Palmer is enjoying.
“So I’m here to let ya’ll know that I found the secret to clearing up my acne,” she said in an Instagram video. “And guess what it is: You need to get knocked up. Period-point-blank-period. The reason my skin is clear is because I’m pregnant with a baby right now.”
In 2020, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is caused by a hormonal imbalance and can affect women during their reproductive years, according to Mayo Clinic. Palmer stressed that her face was never as flat as it is now with makeup “Call me Keke Wyatt,” she joked, referring to the gospel singer, who has nine kids. “Because I’m about to be pregnant for the rest of my life.”
