Like mother, like daughter, like son! Keke Palmer’s baby Leodis “Leo” helped his mom recreate one of her heartwarming childhood photos with her mom, and we are seeing double (triple?).
The One of Them Days star shared a side-by-side photo of her and her mom Sharon Palmer from 1994 when Keke was a baby. Keke looks adorable with her hair up in barrettes and a sweet expression on her face as she looks off in the distance. Sharon holds her daughter, wearing a puka-shell necklace and glasses.
Underneath, Palmer included a photo of the next generation: Keke with her son Leo. First of all, Keke is the spitting image of her mom, and the glasses and big smile sell the look even more. Leo sits in her lap, with the same curly brown hair that his mom had as a baby, downturned little pout, and big brown eyes. He stole his mom’s whole face, and she stole her mom’s whole face, and the resemblance is uncanny!
“Look at Sharon yall!! Look at lil Keke hahaha. Happy Hump Day! <3” she captioned the photo.
Everyone agreed that these three are basically doppelgangers. “Wow! He actually looks just like you at that age🥹😍” one person wrote. Someone else commented, “❤️❤️❤️ Most beautiful genes inside and out !”
“OMG!!! You look now just like your mom then, and Leo looks now how you did then!!!! Wtf😭😭😭😭” another said.
The Bosses star has been glowing lately, which she attributes to the power of self-care. At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this month, the proud mama told PEOPLE about her happy aura: “I attribute it to self-love, which has been ignited even more so by my son.”
“You know, when you have a kid, you’re always trying to figure out what you can do better, how you can be better for the child, and loving yourself to me is No. 1,” she continued. “I feel like I’ve been pouring so much more into myself so that I can be the best mom to him. And it has made my life even more fulfilling, to be honest with you.”
What a beautiful statement and an inspiring message! Hopefully her son will take after his mom’s strength and self-love as much as he does her looks!
