Palmer first confirmed her pregnancy in December while hosting \"Saturday Night Live.\"

\"People have been in my comments, saying 'Keke's having a baby. Keke's pregnant.' And I want to set the record straight: I am,\" the star said during her monologue at the top of the show, opening her jacket to reveal she was pregnant.

\"It is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you, y'all,\" she added at the time. \"But it's even worse when they're correct.\"
