However, after the internet criticized him for his tweet, Jackson doubled down on his claims and explained he has “standards and morals” to believe.
He also said, “This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” Both Palmer and Jackson have always kept their relationship out of the public eye.
The actress talked about her beau for the first time in November 2021. She said, “We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I’m not gonna hide something that makes me happy.”
Although Keke hasn’t directly responded to his comments online, she did post a few pictures of her in the outfit.
Palmer and Jackson welcomed their first child together in February 2023.
