The future parents apparently met at Diddy and Issa Rae's Memorial Day Party back in May 2021. They went Instagram official in August 2021.
"It became more difficult to hide," Palmer said on The Tamron Hall Show of her decision to post photos of him on her social media accounts.

It's not gonna be everything you see, my job is my job, but at the end of the day this is somebody that is important to me so why not."
Although Palmer and Jackson have kept their relationship primarily out of the public eye, she opened up to Bustle about her partner in the summer of 2022.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone. So why would I go out of my way to hide this person?" Palmer shared.

Although Jackson has kept mostly quiet about their relationship, he did share a heartfelt tribute to Palmer in honor of her 28th birthday in September 2021.
“Never would’ve expected summer 2021 to turn out the way it did but here we are. You’ve been a blessing from above & I thank you for showing me a lot of feelings I didn’t know I had in me & also seeing me as someone you can finally be yourself to," he wrote at the time.
