Keke Palmer wants to live her life like a free spirit
Keke Palmer recently opened up about her sexuality and said that she has finally decided to explore her life and start living as a free spirit.
During her recent appearance on The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda, the Nope actress, 29, revealed she spent years repressing her sexuality before finally being able to be experimental.
Speaking to co-hosts Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda Maday, Palmer said,
“There was a moment in my life where I was like ya know, can I be myself? The moment where you overthink s–t,”
“That’s not even me, why am I overthinking this? I guess you just get to the point where I want my life to be my own life.”
Keke who shares a 5-month-old son Leodis with her boyfriend Darius Jackson, said she didn’t live out experiences in a relationship because she didn’t want her family to know that she wanted to explore other options.
The new mom explained,
“There is like an unsaid thing that can make you feel — and because I liked guys too, I was kinda like, ‘Well, we don’t have to talk about it,’
“Because I like guys too, it was like that’s another extra thing that no one really has to know about. I don’t really have to live out.”

When did Keke acknowledge her feelings?
When she turned 17, Keke Palmer finally became more accepting of herself and her feelings.
The actress said,
“I ultimately just feel like the acceptance of that part of myself, in general, was a part of my process of being able to have love in my life,”
“Sexuality and stuff like that, that was not even — my parents never even cared about something like that or talked about that.”
Palmer continued,
“And I know that by the time they saw how free of a spirit I was, and whoever I wanted to date, they were like, ‘Whoever cares.’ It was never anything that was in their mind,”
Keke’s bold statement comes after her boyfriend publicly shamed her for wearing a sexy outfit to Usher’s Las Vegas residency show earlier this month.
The 29-year-old shared a video of her serenaded by the R&B singer where he sings his hit item There Goes My Baby.
Despite public backlash, Darius doubled down on his comments, writing,
“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.”
However, he later deleted his comments following immense public backlash.
