Keke Palmer opens up on her life since becoming a mother
The 'Nope' star shared with the outlet that she has a different outlook on life since becoming a mother earlier this month. The Emmy winner confessed that her life has become “a juggling act" as she has to juggle between motherhood and her demanding career.
“I do feel like being 30, it's put me in a different head space that's allowed me to kind of feel more observational about my life,” she said, adding “I'm not so in the weeds of everything. I'm really trusting and having faith that everything will work out as it should. I think so much of that peace has come from my son.”
Palmer shares Leo with her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson. The actress has temporary sole custody of Leo as well as a temporary restraining order against Jackson as of November.
