Keke Palmer took her adorable 15-month-old son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson, on a recent trip to Rome, Italy. Palmer, known for her roles in “Nope” and hosting the game show “Password,” took to Instagram to offer glimpses of their Roman vacation. One particularly endearing snapshot features Keke holding Leo’s hands as he balances on a rock near a Roman fountain. “Me and my baby went to ROME!” she enthusiastically captioned the post.
Exploring Italy’s Gems
Keke and Leo explored several of Rome’s iconic spots. The duo visited a zoo, indulged in Italian pasta, and marveled at the famous Trevi Fountain. Keke couldn’t resist referencing the beloved “Lizzie McGuire” movie, playfully captioning a photo with, “Cues Lizzie McGuire’s ‘this is what dreaaaaams. Are made of!’ Lmao”.
Leo, on the other hand, found his joy in simple pleasures. Keke shared a photo of her son mesmerized by his reflection in a ramp surrounded by mirrors. “Leo found mirrors and a ramp that went up to the mirror that he became obsessed with,” she wrote. “He’s a Leo rising; do with that what you will!”
The trip was a family reunion of sorts, as the actress brought along her nieces and nephew to surprise her sister, who is studying abroad in Europe. The group also visited a children’s museum, which Keke described as “science-ish” or Montessori-like, emphasizing independent exploration.
Keke Palmer’s Reflections on Motherhood
This trip is one of many that Keke has shared with her fans, reflecting her deep love and joy in motherhood. She often expresses how much she cherishes being a mother to Leo. In a Mother’s Day post, she shared a heartwarming video of Leo dancing to her voice, captioning it, “Happy Mother’s Day to every and all mommies! I love being a mom more than I thought I would, and that was a lot already! I want a whole soccer team. Children are the light of the world and my son is the centerpiece of mine.”
