Keke Palmer Covers Vibe Vixen, Talks Interracial Dating And Her "Good Girl" Image

Aaaaaw! Akeelah’s all grown up and junk!

This month, Keke Palmer is sharing the third digital cover of Vibe Vixen with Tracy Ellis Ross, and in her feature spread Keke reveals all types of stuff we didn’t know about her. Like the fact that she has a Latino boyfriend… and she met him when she was 15… and he was 19.

On meeting her boyfriend…

One day Patrick [Johnson, Jr.] came to the set of True Jackson VP, and he brought Rodney, my boyfriend, with him. My mouth dropped when I saw him, and I’m just like, Keke, control yourself! [Laughs] I was 15 years old at the time, and he was 19, so we didn’t talk or anything like that. I just always had a huge crush on him. Then when I was like 17, I talked to my parents ’cause my mom was like, ‘If you want to date somebody, I guess the oldest age would be 21.’ I just couldn’t believe that she said that to me. It really almost made my heart skip a beat because I always liked him.

That sounds like a “Now that you’re of age, here’s what we’re gonna tell people happened” story to us…
