Keke Palmer wants her son to know that "happiness is his to take"

Asked what she hopes Leo learns from her, Keke told Extra: "Just to never be afraid to evolve.

"I think we get so caught up in our storylines, and even when they're tough, we have a hard time getting out of them, but you can always shape-shift. You can always become someone new and let your happiness, let your joy and your peace, be that guiding force.

"I want him to know that happiness is his to take, but we got to take it, you know?"

Meanwhile, Keke recently revealed that she found it "really, really hard" to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

The Hollywood star told People: "You have to get back to yourself after the baby. It's really, really hard.

"Anybody with kids knows sometimes it can take three, four, five years. It really wears your a** out."

Keke revealed that Pilates has been key to her workout routine.

The actress shared: "I'm a Pilates girl down, I don't care. It's the Pilates. And I need people to know it doesn't matter what that scale says. It matters about the muscles. That's what I love about Pilates. It don't matter what your size is, your body is going to be snatched with Pilates."

Keke combined her workout routine with a healthy, balanced diet.

She said: "If you could find a dance class, Pilates class, a yoga class, a cycling class, whatever class that you like that can happen at the top of your day before you go to work, it will do wonders. The consistency of that will do wonders. And then I'll say, make your own food. I know, I know it's a lot. Nobody wants to do the meal prep s***, but making your own food and knowing what you put in it, it does wonders.

"Making your own meals, keeping it consistent with some type of activity. It really does transform your body. And then fun stuff. Sometimes we forget that everything don't have to be a serious workout. What if I just go play tennis or pickleball with my girl? What if we just go swimming for a day? You know what I'm saying?"
