Keke Palmer took to Instagram on Tuesday to express her profound admiration for Insecure actress DomiNque Perry, who is a dedicated mother to her 5-year-old daughter, Zen Jackson. In a tribute, Palmer, 30, poured out her appreciation, emphasizing Perry’s exceptional qualities as a loving person and a remarkable mom.
Perry shares her daughter Zen with former co-star Sarunas J. Jackson, who is the older brother of Darius Jackson. Darius, in turn, has a 9-month-old son named Leo with Palmer.
“Dominique appreciation day ,” began Keke’s post. “I love you so much and I am so amazed at the beautiful loving person and mother you are. Anyone that sees the way Zenni lights up around you would know that to be true.”
Palmer went on to describe Zen as the perfect reflection of Perry’s character, noting her humor, kindness, patience, and intelligence. “All the things I’ve come to know and love you to be,” she added.
The NOPE star concluded the post with a nod to Perry’s parenting skills, sharing a photo of the actress and her daughter, and stating, “I just wanted to say I’m proud of you and welcome others to say the same. From mother to mother YOU ROCK! It’s not easy but you make it look that way and I appreciate you in my life!”
In a reciprocal gesture, DomiNque Perry posted a “Keke appreciation post” on her Instagram, featuring a lovely photo of Palmer and her son. The tribute praised Palmer as an amazing force and mother, emphasizing their deep connection and the familial bond between their children.
“Sister, you are an amazing force and mother,” Perry’s tribute began. “Our babies are blood bound n so are we. I thank God for you coming into my life the way you did. I knew at @millimoto_ s house when we first met we were twin flames. I give you honor as a strong hardworking and beautiful mother that you are.”
Perry concluded the post by expressing her love and unwavering support. “Leo is so beyond lucky to have u as his muvaaaaaa! I praise you and lift you up even in your darkest hour. Here for you always. Love you sis. @keke,”
The heartfelt exchange between the two friends comes amid recent challenges in both their lives, with Palmer accusing her ex, Darius Jackson of domestic violence, and Perry sharing her own struggles with abuse from Sarunas J. Jackson, Palmer’s former co-star and Darius’s brother.
