Being a full-time baby is Leodis “Leo” Andrellton’s main job, but every now and then, Keke Palmer’s son works a side hustle just like the rest of us. The 18-month-old moonlights as a singing partner for his famous mama, and their latest duet will have you dancing in your seat!

The Bosses star, who shares Leo with ex Darius Jackson, posted a new video of her son on his Instagram page (yes, he has his own!), captioned, “My mom made another new song for me and this time I started singing it with her ?????” Palmer is getting ready to film one of her upcoming projects, wearing a robe with her makeup done while Leo plays with toys. She goes to pick him up in the clip and sings him a song she wrote.

“Leo, that’s my name,” she sings and snaps while swaying with Leo on her hip. He’s just smiling with a knowing look, like he absolutely knows how amazed we are about to be. “Leo, I’m the guy you knoooooooow,” Palmer croons, and on the last drawn-out word, Leo joins in, harmonizing with her “know.” Even with his finger in his mouth, Leo still sounds so cute! Everyone in the trailer cheers and Palmer sings it again, with Leo joining in at the same time. The proud mom then jumps up and down with her baby before he leans over and gives her a big hug. Is that not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?!

“I love the harmonization ???? tell mommy to put you in the studio????,” one person suggested. Someone else wrote, “We know which part is your favorite Leo ????????.”

“He’s getting sooooo big ???? Too cute how he’s singing with you,” another wrote.

The “Ungorgeous” singer loves singing to her son. In an April 2023 interview with Amazon Music, Palmer shared that while she does sing classics like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” to Leo, she also makes up songs. “I do make him his own little songs, too,” she said, singing an example: “Leo, you’re my favorite boy,” she croons. “Leo, you’re my pride and joy. Leo, there’s no one else that makes me feel the way you do.”

“I’ve been around a long, long time,” she sings. “I’ve seen some things, I can’t define. But what I know, this love is real. There’s no one in this world that can ever make me feel like Leo.”

During a singing rehearsal in June, Leo just wanted to be with his mama. She grabbed her son and brought him on stage with her while she practiced, telling the camera later, “It’s really, really cool to just continue to see him grow and have us share experiences. He’s only one, so I really also can’t wait ‘till he’s five where we could really start getting stuff. Because I know we’re going to be dancing — I just feel like we’re gonna be doing everything together.”
