- Actress Keke Palmer says she values her independence and does not want to live with a partner, even in marriage, preferring separate spaces to maintain balance and excitement in relationships.
- The actress suggested alternative arrangements such as living in separate houses, nearby homes, or on the same property but in different spaces
Hollywood actress and singer Keke Palmer has shared her unconventional views on relationships, revealing that she does not want to live with a partner even if she gets married.
The 32-year-old actress made the disclosure while appearing on Today with Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones on Monday, February 2, where she was promoting her Peacock series The ’Burbs.
The conversation started after the hosts discussed a growing dating trend where people address major life topics such as marriage, politics, and children on their first date. Palmer praised the approach, saying it helps determine compatibility early.
“I think that’s actually good. Just get it out of the way,” she said. “Sometimes you talk to somebody and never discuss anything real.”
During a playful role-play of a first date, Palmer was asked if she wanted children. Although she is already a mother to her two-year-old son, Leodis, she revealed a clear personal boundary.
“I could be open, but one thing you need to know is I never want to live together. I like my alone time,” she said.
Referencing Whoopi Goldberg, Palmer added, “She once said, ‘I don’t want nobody in my house,’ and I feel that. Married, even.”
The actress suggested alternative arrangements such as living in separate houses, nearby homes, or on the same property but in different spaces. “At best, separate rooms,” she said.
Palmer also joked about maintaining excitement in relationships, saying she would prefer not to share a bathroom and enjoys the idea of visiting her partner instead.
“I want to go over to my man’s house,”
“Over there, hi husband!” she laughed.
