Baby Keke Palmer Is the Spitting Image of Her 2-Year-Old Son Leo in Remarkable Photo

These two photos could easily be of the same baby!

By Chris Phelan

Keke Palmer's son definitely got it from his mama!

In a March 12 Instagram post, the Emmy-winning host of Password shared a comparison photo of her mother, Sharon, holding her as a baby in 1994 and Palmer holding her 2-year-old son, Leo, in 2025. Fans couldn't help but notice that Palmer and Leo look identical as babies! From their little noses to their expressive eyes, they could pass for twins. It's one of the cutest things ever.

For the past two years, Palmer has been sharing photos and videos of her son (which fans go gaga over) on social media, and now we know that Leo and Palmer have one unique thing in common: They were both beautiful babies!

"Look at Sharon yall!! Look at lil Keke hahaha. Happy Hump Day! <3," Palmer said in a caption.

Baby Keke is just too adorable. (But we all could have guessed that already, right?)

It's not the first time mother and son have been lookalikes. Just a few months back, Palmer and Leo took part in a photo shoot where they both sported near-identical red hair — and matching stunning smiles, of course.

Leo recently celebrated his second birthday, and during her January 31 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Palmer gave fans an update on how her little man is doing these days! If Leo seems to be getting bigger by the second, don't worry; Palmer feels the exact same way.

"His personality is coming through — he mocks everything I do," she confessed. "I'm like, 'Okay,' he's like, 'Okay.' Like, everything. And it's just so amazing to see them grow in real time. It's insane, it's like 'I can't believe you were in my belly!'"

Time certainly does fly by! It seems like it was only yesterday when the star shared pictures of her and Leo's adventures through Europe, doesn't it?

Palmer revealed that Leo's current obsession is the kid's TV show Blippi ("It's like, garbage trucks with personalities") — something many parents can relate to! And while Palmer was unsure if she was going to give Leo a big birthday bash or do something smaller for him, she explained that having him in her life has changed her world in the best way.

"My son has given me such a new life, you know what I mean?" Palmer told Jennifer Hudson. "It's been an experience that I can't even explain."

"Spoken like a true mother," Hudson told her.
