After a particularly rough 2017, with her son battling cancer and her marriage to Michael Jamar falling apart unexpectedly, Keke Wyatt has some good news to celebrate at the end of 2018.
The “My First Love” singer shared with TMZ that she has a whole new love. She wed a man named Zachariah Darring in October in Indianapolis and has only positive things to say about him.
“I reached out to Zachariah and I was just like ‘Hey! What’s up? How you doing?’ Not looking for nothing and that’s the God’s honest truth,” she said in a video interview. “I didn’t know if he had a girlfriend or whatever. I didn’t know. I was just saying ‘Hey.’ And he was like, ‘Girl, what’s up?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, Jesus.'”
The 36-year-old mother of at least eight kids (Jamar had a few kids from previous relationships that she claimed at one point) is also grateful because she says that her son is finally cancer-free. She is in a place that’s a far cry from last year, when she was in tears while revealing that her ex had asked for a divorce while she was heavily pregnant and trying to be there for her child.
“Life at this point, the fact that I’m laughing and smiling is a beautiful thing because I went through a really rough patch there for a while. For about a year,” she said. “Y’all know about that video. That video of me looking like a desperate, dumb heifer. Honey, I was eight months pregnant, hormonal, and I thought I wanted something that wasn’t for me. Amen. And my baby fighting cancer. But now, a year later, my baby is cancer- free.”

Wyatt said that she can count on her new man Darring not to run out on her in the way that Jamar did during rough times. It’s unclear how long they’ve been dating, though they were first publicly spotted in October, but she seems quite confident that he is cut from a completely different cloth.
“This man will never tell me, ‘Oh I’m tired of dealing with you. You’re pregnant. I’m tired of dealing with this cancer. I can’t deal with you, your mouth no more,’ like I’m not supposed to have emotional problems knowing my baby is on his death bed. A 14-year-old child, lying in the bed, dying, that I gave birth to? And I’m an emotional, toxic wreck? No, ni–a, you are toxic and you are an emotional wreck!” she said. “And I’m eight months pregnant with your baby that I didn’t ask for that you wanted to give because you were horny? Ni–a, bye.”
Wyatt, with one last jab at Jamar, made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him, and that he could move right on along with his new girlfriend. Jamar started dating former American Idol contestant Paris Bennett after they split, and it seems they’re still an item a year later.
“You go on with that little ugly critter, that bat,” Wyatt said while doing an impression of a winged creature. “Go on with it honey. Have that ho.”
Bennett probably won’t appreciate being called a bat-looking ho, but with Wyatt’s family in good health and her heart allegedly in good hands again, it’s clear that she isn’t worried about it.
