The 29-year-old shared how she approached the topic with her family, explaining the openness and honesty she maintained throughout the process.
During an appearance on “The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda,” the singer discussed her journey of self-discovery and coming out as a free spirit. Explaining to Raven – who had her own coming out in 2013 – the “No” actress stated:
“There was a moment in my life where I was like you know, can I be myself? A moment where you’re overthinking sh*t. That’s not me, why am I overthinking this? I think you just get to a point where I want my life to be my own.

Palmer mentioned that while his parents never expressed any disapproval of being gay in their household when he was growing up, there was an unspoken aspect around the topic. In his words:
“There’s such an unspeakable thing that can make you feel –, and because I like guys too, I’m kind of like, ‘Well, we don’t have to talk about it.’ Because I like guys too, it’s like another extra thing that no one needs to know. I don’t have to live outside.”
When she turned 17, the mother of one felt the urge to test things out and “explore her life.” After years of suppressing her feelings, she decided to fully embrace her life.
The five-time NAACP Image Award winner shared that her desire for love and being open about it played a key role in her journey. She emphasizes that she doesn’t want anything to stand in her way and accepting who she really is is an important part of her process of allowing love into her life.
Palmer stated that her parents never discussed sexuality or related matters because it was not a topic of concern to them. She continued, “And I know that by the time they see how free spirited I am, and whoever I want to meet, they’re like, ‘Who cares.’ It was never in their minds.”

Lately, the television personality has been dating Darius Jackson, and the couple welcomed their son, Leodis, in February after meeting in 2021. However, their relationship came under the spotlight when her baby’s father publicly shamed her for wearing bare clothes at Usher’s concert.
After the media frenzy that followed, the “So Uncool” singer opened up about her experience as a first-time mom, expressing how motherhood has made her feel more empowered and her continued efforts to love her body as it is.
Ignoring all the internet noise, “Jump In!” actor spoke candidly with “The Cut” for the July cover issue about his current situation. “After giving birth to my child, I am more energetic. I was just empowered in a crazy way. Flashing my stuff, enjoying,” shared the television host.
The “Akeelah and the Bee” star admitted that before becoming a mother, she struggled with self-awareness, especially as a “public figure.” He explained, “Always trying to be in tune with my body and always trying to make sure I take care of this and that. There is a lot of physical attention.”
The desire to regain a pre-baby physique caused Palmer to put pressure on himself. However, his perspective changed when celebrity trainer Corey Calliet intervened.
She emphasizes that there is no need to work on her body exactly like it was before giving birth. For her, the key is to “lean into this new body” and embrace the changes that come with being a mother.
