Keke Palmer ‘Dating’ NFL Star Duke Riley Despite Nasty Custody Battle
Actress Keke Palmer appears to have moved on from her ex-boyfriend, and the father of her child, Darius Jackson.
A recent sighting of the actress and Miami Dolphins star Duke Riley has led to speculation that the two are dating, RadarOnline.com has learned.
While legal matters between Palmer and Jackson, both 30, who share a son, Leo, remain far from resolved, a recent outing sparked rumors that she’s moved on from the abusive relationship.
A fan ran into the Nope star and posted photos of their encounter to X, however, eagle-eyed social media users noticed a familiar face in the background.
Social media users pointed out that the man in the background of the fan’s picture looked like NFL linebacker Riley, 29.
One nosey user even responded to the post, asking, “So was she walking with Duke when you saw her? Was it just them together?”

Although neither Riley nor Palmer have confirmed the dating speculation, the actress showed love for the NFL player’s new song, Smooth Like HItch, online.
Palmer was jamming to Riley’s tune in a video posted to her Instagram feed along with the caption, “Gooooodmorninggggggg!! How yall doing?For those asking, the song is “Smooth Like Hitch” by @dukeriley — idk why it didn’t link lol.”
The pair also follow each other on Instagram.
Sarunas also sought a temporary restraining order against Palmer, citing her “foul claims” have “caused career damage.”
Like his brother, Sarunas’ TRO request was also denied. While he was given another opportunity to plead his case to the court, he claimed he wasn’t able to locate the actress to serve her.
Palmer’s mother Sharon told RadarOnline.com that Sarunas’ TRO request is nothing more than an attempt to clout chase and her daughter “never wants to see him again.”
