LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.

As previously reported the actress announced that she was expecting during her Saturday Night Live opening monologue as host on Dec. 3. In January, she accidentally revealed the gender of her child during an interview with Jimmy Fallon.

“I’m not sure exactly,” said KeKe while hinting that she would give birth some time in March. “Pisces are known to be very deep, very emotional creatures. I just want to make sure I’m not too blunt for my baby boy.”

“I don’t want to be too … tell it like it is,” she continued. “I need to wade in the water with a Pisces, just keep it chill.”

Baby Leodis is a Pisces and his proud mom is defending his name.

When a fan said that the baby’s name “sound like it led a civil rights March”, Keke clapped back with a joke.
