Keke Palmer is expertly juggling her career and motherhood, often bringing her young son along on her adventures.
Recently, the actress traveled to Hawaii for a special role as a guest mentor on American Idol. The show was filming part of its “Ohana round” at the picturesque Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, where performances were set against a stunning beach backdrop.
Earlier this week, Palmer shared glimpses of this Hawaiian trip on social media, featuring adorable moments with her son, Leodis.
Among the shared images, Leodis can be seen smiling brightly as he poses with the iconic Mickey Mouse.
“Look at Leo and Mickey! Oh my gosh! He was scared of Goofy but absolutely thrilled to meet Mickey!” she captioned. “He loves the Clubhouse show. Mickey has captured the hearts of children for nearly a hundred years. Isn’t that amazing?”
She continued, “This was the best family trip ever, I’m not kidding. Memories that last a lifetime, I’m so grateful for these experiences and to be able to enjoy them at this time in my life. We had a ball at @disneyaulani Resort!!”
A few days later, Palmer returned to Instagram with a video showing Leodis joining her for a workout, offering a more candid look at their routine.
“You’re watching me and my accountability partner,” she wrote.
“I know it sounds crazy to say about a toddler, but as you can see… he’s encouraging, supportive aaand bossy!”
She added, “I’m not as good as he is yet, but he’s teaching me: how to be present, how to just do it, cause I can, how to believe, how to practice companionship.”
Referencing her fitness platform, she continued, “@practicebypalmer isn’t just about getting fit. It’s about how we show up for ourselves, and each other.”
“You don’t need me. You already have what you need. But we could use each other. I’m here to stand beside you.”
“And just like Leodis told me… YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!! 🤍”
Look at Leo and Mickey! Omg! He was scared of Goofy but so happy to see Mickey! He loves the Clubhouse show, Mickey has been beloved by the kiddos for almost a century. How incredible? This was the best family trip ever, I’m not kidding. Memories that last a lifetime, I’m so grateful for these experiences and to be able to enjoy them at this time in my life. We had a ball at @disneyaulani Resort!!
