Keke Palmer Shares Adorable New Photos of Son Leo, 7 Months: 'Best Thing on Earth’

The 'Nope' actress welcomed her son Leo in February

Keke Palmer is celebrating her sweet boy!

On Wednesday, the actress, 30, posted a carousel Instagram post that contained a series of adorable new pictures of her 7-month-old son Leo — and shared with her followers exactly how important he is to her.

“Slide for the best thing on EARTH, you’re welcome. 🥹🫶🏾❤️,” Palmer, who shares Leo with Darius Jackson, wrote in her caption.

The first photo in the actress' post showed her winking at the camera while wearing chic smokey eye make up and an elegant black turtleneck top, but the majority of her carousel focused on one person — little Leo.

In the second snap, Leo sported a yellow onesie and a sleepy grin, while the third photo in the carousel showed the little boy reaching up toward the camera while looking adorable in an adult-sized baseball cap worn backward.

Palmer's son appeared to be enjoying some chill time on the couch in the next pic, which showed him looking very relaxed as he leaned back and gave a small smile.

Other pics included a serious-looking close-up snap of the little boy wearing a cute patterned outfit, a shot of him sitting on a green chair sporting a beaming smile and an image where he had his little hand raised as he looked up at the camera while sitting on an adult's lap.

In the final photo of the post, the actress shared a light-hearted selfie snap that showed her leaning back as several hands appeared to be in the process of applying make-up to her face.

Many of Palmer’s followers couldn’t help but gush about her son in the comment section. “Girl don’t let NOBODYYY tell you he ain’t your twin😍😍,” one person said, while another added, “he’s so freaking adorable 😭🖤.”

Actress Viola Davis also commented, writing, “Cutie PIE!!!!❤️❤️."

Last month, ahead of the Black Magic Reimagined conference, which took place in Dallas on Oct. 1, Palmer spoke about the advice she would give to other single moms.

"Man, continue to fill your cup and do the things that make you happy. I think that's the main thing because that's going to propel you to give the energy that you need to do all that it takes to be the mother to that child," the actress said in late September.

"Don't be afraid to make the hard decisions that could seem selfish to someone, but ultimately are allowing you to be able to show up in the way you need to for your kid. If Mama's not right, then baby can't be right, you know what I mean?" she added.

Back in July, Palmer experienced some online drama after her son’s father Jackson criticized the outfit she wore at Usher’s Las Vegas Residency "It's the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Jackson wrote in a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) at the time.

The pair has appeared to be on good terms since then, however. Jackson featured in a slideshow as part of Palmer’s Big Boss Tour stop in New York City in September and the pair hung out together on her 30th birthday in August.

However, Palmer has so far chosen not to label their current relationship.

"The thing with social media is that it can easily be a place where you can work, but it also blurs the line between what is work and what is real life," Palmer told PEOPLE earlier this month as spoke about the need for privacy.

"I can't control how everybody's going to take something. And also I'm having my own personal boundaries for what I feel like I want out there or what I want to give people the opportunity to speak on."
