Keke Palmer and ex Darius Jackson reunite for outing with son after she dropped restraining order, custody case
It’s a family affair.
Keke Palmer and ex Darius Jackson reunited for an outing with their son, Leodis, over the weekend – months after she dropped the restraining order and custody case against her former partner.
Jackson (who also goes by Darius Daulton) shared a picture via his Instagram Stories Sunday of him and the “Nope” actress while they were on a stroll with the 1-year-old.
In the photo, the dad of one posed while holding Leodis in his arm, as Palmer, 30, flashed a huge grin while looking at her son.
The “True Jackson, VP” alum dressed casually for the hike, wearing black shorts, a green top, white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers and a large straw hat. She also carried an orange purse and a purple-and-blue misting fan.
Jackson also dressed down for the outing, rocking green New Balance shorts, a sleeveless gray shirt, a green baseball cap and white sneakers.
“the boy & his folks,” he wrote atop the snap.
The exes’ family reunion comes three months after Palmer dropped the retraining order and custody case against Jackson.
According to court documents obtained by the Blast, the domestic violence restraining order hearing that was scheduled for July 16, 2024, was canceled after the “Hustlers” star’s attorney filed the documents.
It’s unclear why the hearing was canceled but it appeared Jackson and Palmer had settled things behind the scenes after they were ordered to attend mediation in December 2023.
Issues between the couple were made public last summer when Jackson tweeted his disapproval of the sheer Givenchy dress that the “Alice” star wore to see Usher’s residency show in Las Vegas.
“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet in July 2023 alongside a viral video of Palmer being serenaded by the R&B musician.
In November 2023, Palmer accused Jackson of physical abuse, claiming he had destroyed her personal property, thrown her belongings into the street, hit her in front of their son and threatened to kill himself if she left him.
She also filed for a temporary restraining order in conjunction with requesting sole legal and physical custody.
The following month, Jackson hit back at Palmer’s claims, alleging that she was actually the aggressor in their relationship.
In court documents obtained by Page Six at the time, the fitness instructor claimed Palmer “punched” him in the face “at a birthday party” on Aug. 20, 2021, and allegedly choked and hit him during an altercation on Feb. 28, 2022.
He also claimed the former Nickelodeon star would berate him, calling him names such as “bitch, a punk ass, and a loser” while she was under the influence of alcohol.
Jackson and Palmer began dating in 2021 after meeting at a Memorial Day party.
They welcomed son Leodis in February 2023.
