Keke Palmer, 29, has been doing tons of media runs lately to promote her recently released visual album, Big Boss, and we’re not mad at it. During her latest interview with Terrell Grice, she filled him in on how she met her boyfriend, Darius Jackson.
Palmer started by sharing that she and Darius met “casually” at an Insecure afterparty Diddy threw with Issa Rae, the creator of the show.
“I had just done the show, and his brother worked on the show,” Palmer started. “And so, you know, I see his brother around a lot, and I’m like, ‘who that is with you? I see you at the parties, but you ain’t never brought him with you.’ And he was like, ‘oh, that’s my little brother,’ and I was like, ‘oh, little brother.’”
The brother in question is actor Sarunas Jackson who played Dro on the HBO series. After the actress questioned Sarunas about Darius, she said her best friend encouraged her to make the first move by asking him if he wanted a drink.
She accepted her bestie’s challenge and asked Darius if he wanted to take a shot.
“So when I walked up to him, I was not looking for love. I was looking for a roster. You understand? And so I was like, he fits the physical bill,” she said.
“He’s such a sweetheart. And I think what I saw, you know, was just that he’s just a sweet guy.”
