Keke Palmer, the 30-year-old actress and mother of one, celebrated the start of 2024 by taking a quick vacation to Antigua and Barbuda.

She expressed her happiness to her fans, stating that the trip was exactly what she needed amidst her ongoing domestic dispute with her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson.

Palmer shared a video on Instagram where she can be seen swimming with a stingray in the beautiful, clear blue waters of Antigua.

Despite being bitten by mosquitoes, she said that the new year started off on a positive note, filled with new experiences and a greater appreciation for the beauty of the world.

She was so elated that she even commented on how she can’t recognize herself with such a big smile on her face.

Additionally, she formed a connection with a girl there that left her feeling on cloud nine.

This isn’t the first time Palmer has visited Antigua; she went there two years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic.
