Keke Palmer Doesn't Believe In Relationships: "I'm Single Until I'm Married"
Whew, ladies, gather 'round, we have a gooood conversation to have today. OK, so our girl Keke Palmer has evolved into the Queen of Social Media from her ability to give the people what they love: hilarious and oh-so-relatable content. Her posts make headlines within headlines, and sis does nottttt miss, m'kay?!
And although she's been a bit busy shooting a few (unannounced) secret projects, she forever keeps us coming back for more.
One of her most recent posts was no different, as the Big Boss, herself, woke up and chose violence. How? By telling these men out here what they need to hear! In a video captioned, "I don't believe in girlfriend and boyfriend. I'm single till I'm married. Let's just kick it love," she grabbed us all by the edges:
"Dudes be like, I want you to be my girlfriend. But are you going to marry me? Are we ready to take it somewhere out of kid world? Because I'm not trying to be locked into nothing unless you're going to lock me in for life. 'Cause we can just be friends and kick it until you're ready to go."
The video was complete with the dramatic music, and infamous Keke personality and realness that we all know and love.
Palmer has previously addressed relationships, telling Harper's Bazaar:
"I don't really do relationship stuff online, mainly because I don't know how I would do it without looking, like, cheesy or something, you know? When it comes to romance, [posting about it] doesn't really come naturally to me, so I feel like, why force it?"
Soon after, she decided to do so, by posting a video of herself kissing on a (then) unidentified man with a caption that again, got our relationship traumas in check.
And although our sis doesn't like to engage her personal life with the public, even outside of this factor, does she have a point? Do you believe in relationships? Or are you single until you're married?
Let's talk about it!
