Keke also posted a cute flick of Leodis crying and soothing him with Kendrick Lamar’s music.
In January, the Nope actress inadvertently revealed that she and Darius’ sweet bundle of joy was indeed a boy on The Jimmy Kimmel Show.
“So, my baby is either going to be a Pisces or an Aries,” she explained. “Pisces are known to be very deep they’re emotional creatures. So, I just want to make sure I’m not too blunt for my baby boy. I don’t want to be too …like wassup… because sometimes I can be a little too ‘tell it like it is.’ I need to wade in the water with a Pisces,” she said.
Welcome to the world, Baby Leodis!
