Keke Palmer wants another child

Keke Palmer would like another child

Keke Palmer "would love" to have another child.

The Nope actress is currently single but she admitted she is always thinking about the possibility of having a sibling for her two-year-old son Leodis, who she has with former partner Darius Jackson.

Asked if she wants more children, she told People magazine: "I would love to. It's one of those things I think about all the time. It's like, when that's going to happen, if that's going to happen, how that's going to happen."

Despite their public break-up last year, Keke and Darius are on much better terms now and she thinks they have "grown a lot".

Discussing how the split inspired her new album, Just Keke - which she shared with her former partner first - she said: "I think we both have grown a lot.

"Life is funny that way. Sometimes things happen, and they teach you about yourself, good or bad, and then you have to decide what to do with it."

The 31-year-old star insisted the most important thing when it comes to co-parenting with Darius is being "at your best for the baby" and putting their differences aside for the sake of what is best for their son.

She said: "If the interpersonal drama becomes bigger than that, well, then they're not co-parenting. They're just being selfish.

"For us, that was the big thing. 'Can we get on the same page? Can we co-parent? Can we actually put Leo first?' And then the closure piece is like, 'I'm okay with that being all that it is. Because I don't want to be in something that makes me unhappy, or you either.' You can't make people who you want them to be. You have to accept them for who they are."

Although it was Father's Day earlier this month, Leodis didn't get to spend it with his dad because of Darius' work commitments.

Keke explained: "We celebrated with my dad. His dad, Darius, is in the military, so he's not able to be as around, but [he's] making sure he's getting what he needs to get and doing good for our son."
