Keke Palmer wants 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."

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have 'insane' bond
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have an "insane" bond on Practical Magic 2. The two actresses have reprised their roles as sister witches Gillian and Sally Owens in the sequel to the 1998 classic, and the Big Little Lies star admitted she and her pal are "like sisters" in real life and love poking fun at one another. She told People magazine: "[Our dynamic is] insane. I can tease her, and she teases me," Kidman, 58, explains, noting, "We're both living in London, very close to each other... "I adore her and she is so funny and so lovable. And we're just having the best time together." The 58-year-old actress admitted she and Sandra are thrilled to be playing the characters again after a 27-year absence. She said: "We're both like, 'What?' But we were just right back into it." And it isn't only Sandra that Nicole has enjoyed working with on the movie. She added: "We have this wonderful female director, Susanne Bier. Warner Bros. is behind the film. And they've been incredibly supportive in making this, going back and then expanding it. "And then we have beautiful Joey King, who I've worked with before and who's just lovely. So it's a group of amazing, amazing women and some great men who are creating the next phase, the next stage of the witches' life." Meanwhile, Evan Rachel Wood recently revealed she won't be reprising her role as Kylie, Sandra's on-screen daughter, in the sequel, despite having asked about being part of the project. She wrote on Instagram Stories: 'I am getting asked about this a lot, so l'll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.' Bullock and Nicole Kidman are reprising their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who are descended from a long line of witches. Meanwhile, producer Denise Di Novi previously promised that fans will be "very pleased" with the sequel, which will draw heavily from the source material – Alice Hoffman's 2021 novel The Book of Magic. She told Entertainment Weekly: "I think (fans are) going to be very pleased. We're going to be very faithful. We're [aware of] how important those characters and that movie are to so many people. We're not going to reinvent the wheel. "We're going to draw from Alice Hoffman's books, as the first movie did, and we're going to be true to the chronology of how many years later it is." Di Novi explained how the crew will "be respectful to the characters, story, and locations" from the original picture.

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham renew wedding vows
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham have renewed their wedding vows. The couple married in April 2022 after three years of dating and on Saturday (02.08.25) they reportedly reaffirmed their commitment to one another. A source told People magazine: 'The event is about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever." In April, the couple celebrated their third wedding anniversary and Brooklyn, 26, gushed he falls "more in love" with his 30-year-old wife as time passes. The pair showed the bouquet of pink roses Nicola received from her spouse, along with a note which read: "Dear Nicola, Happy anniversary baby x I love you so much and I continue to fall more in love with you every second x you make me a better man and I couldn't ask for a better partner x you are my soul and my rock x I love you so much Nicola xx Love brooklyn xxxxxxx 3 3.(sic)" Noticeably, Brooklyn's famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, did not publicly wish the couple a happy anniversary or like their post about the milestone, nor did his siblings Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, who are active on social media. And it was recently received the aspiring chef - who also has a 14-year-old sister, Harper - and his wife were no longer following his brothers on Instagram. However, despite reports that Brooklyn and Nicola chose to unfollow Romeo and Cruz, friends of the couple alleged to MailOnline that the brothers actually blocked the Peltz-Beckhams on the app. Brooklyn and Nicola still follow his parents Victoria, 51, and David, 50 on Instagram and they both shared a sweet tribute to his younger sister Harper on her 14th birthday earlier this month. Meanwhile, Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was recently forced to deny claims she was responsible for a rift between Romeo and Brooklyn. Denying a past relationship with Brooklyn, she said on her Instagram page: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. 'I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative. 'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. 'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.'
