Keke Palmer is officially a mom-to-be!
The Nope actress confirmed rumors of a possible pregnancy while hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, where she announced that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Darius Jackson.
The 29-year-old was making her SNL hosting debut on the Dec. 3 episode of the longtime sketch comedy series when she shared the exciting news during her opening monologue.
"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!" Palmer said while busting open her coat to reveal the first look at her growing baby bump.
"I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the spread rumors about you y'all, but it's even worse when they're correct," she continued, garnering a roar of laughter from the audience. "I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low 'cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?"
She continued, "But honestly, this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I'm going to be a mom."
The baby will be the first child between the Akeelah and the Bee alum and Jackson, who have mostly kept the details of their relationship under wraps since going public with their romance in 2021.
Pregnancy rumors gained traction earlier this month when the Hustlers star appeared to be hiding a bump under her gown at the CFDA Awards. As a result, Palmer's fans have been flocking to her social media pages, waiting to hear the exciting news be announced.
"Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor," Palmer continued during her SNL monologue on Saturday before adding some of her characteristic humor. "I just wanna say, look, I'm 29, I'm grown, I have sex, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do."
Palmer has not yet revealed a due date for her baby's arrival, but her fans will patiently wait to watch the iconic actress officially become a mom.
Congratulations to the parents-to-be!
