Keke Palmer’s Ex Darius Gets Engaged and Sources Say Keke Is Not Taking It Well
The drama surrounding Keke Palmer and her ex Darius Jackson has officially taken a new turn.
As fans remember, Keke and Darius split last year after a very tense and public breakup that involved police calls and court orders. Darius was ultimately forced to move out of their shared home, and the former couple has been co-parenting their son since. According to sources, Keke has been providing Darius with a generous child support arrangement and the two appeared to have settled into a quiet routine.
But now, everything has shifted.
Darius Pops the Question to New Girlfriend
Less than a year after his split from Keke, Darius has officially proposed to his new girlfriend. She proudly showed off her engagement ring on social media, with friends and followers congratulating the couple and celebrating their new chapter.
On the surface, Darius seems to have moved on completely and embraced his fresh start. But behind the scenes, the reaction has reportedly been very different.
Inside Keke’s Emotional Reaction
Media Take Out spoke with someone close to Keke who claims the actress is far from thrilled about the news.
According to the insider, Keke always believed that she and Darius would eventually find their way back to each other. Despite everything that happened, she reportedly held onto the idea that their relationship was not fully over and that reconciliation was possible.
Now that Darius is engaged, that illusion has reportedly come crashing down.
Messy Past Still Lingers
The source claims the situation has stirred up unresolved emotions from their turbulent breakup. While Keke has continued to focus on her career and motherhood, the engagement allegedly feels like a final door closing on what she once thought could be repaired.
The insider added that while Keke has not made any public statements, she is clearly processing the reality that her former partner has chosen someone else for his future.
A New Chapter for Darius
Meanwhile, Darius appears unbothered and committed to his new relationship. He has been seen publicly with his fiancée and is seemingly embracing this next phase of life with confidence.
Whether Keke will eventually speak on the situation remains to be seen. For now, fans are watching closely as both move forward on very separate paths.
One thing is clear. This chapter between Keke and Darius is officially closed, and while one heart celebrates, another may still be healing.
