Keke Palmer is done playing around in her love life.
Taking to her Instagram on Saturday, August 8, the actress and singer has revealed exactly what she’s looking for in a relationship as a single mom of a toddler.
“I’m chill but u shouldn’t be,” Palmer began in the caption alongside a few mirror selfies. “I want the glamour, the romance and the fun.”
She then added a non-exhaustive list of how she expects to be treated: “Pull out all the stops, experience 1 of 1! Roses, perfumes, gifts and then some! Fck the princess treatment. I’m a Queen hon.”
The 32-year-old added that she’s “done playing coy, for who and for what!”
Noting that she’s “grown with a son” and has “no time to watch you fail,” Palmer told her potential suitors, “If it don’t feel like heaven, boy go to hell. Disrespectfully.”
The pop icon’s message comes weeks after she ignited hope among fans who shipped her with Hot Ones host, Sean Evans.
After years of casual flirting and appearing on each other’s shows, the pair were finally spotted having dinner together in mid-June.
But though Palmer acknowledged that their “chemistry is genuine,” she noted that fans took things to a “parasocial” level.
“I was gagged that everybody was ready to marry me off,” she told Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show last month. “I was like, ‘Guys, let it cook!’ They married your girl off in two seconds.”
Palmer was previously in a “toxic” relationship with Darius Jackson. The pair welcomed their son, Leodis, in February 2023.
