Keke Wyatt recorded her first hit when she was 16 years old

Keke Wyatt has been in the music industry since she was only 10-years-old. At the time, she was known for recording with various girl groups all over her hometown of Indianapolis, IN. But when she was 16 years old, she recorded her breakthrough hit.

At that time, she’d teamed up with R&B superstar Avant to record “My First Love.” Wyatt was 18 years old when the song dropped, but Avant revealed that she’d recorded the track when she was only 16 years old. The song appeared on Avant’s smash 2000 album, My Thoughts.

When “My First Love” debuted in 2000, it remained on the top 10 charts for weeks. Though Keke Wyatt had been working mostly behind the scenes in the music industry for nearly 10 years by then, the hit song finally earned her the traction that she deserved.

She announced her eleventh pregnancy on Instagram

On Feb. 20, Keke Wyatt took to her Instagram page to announce her pregnancy. The starlet posed in a flowing, silky red dress with henna on her heavily pregnant belly. She completed the look with matching red nails and platinum blonde hair.

“My husband, Zackariah David Darring, and I are proud to announce that our family will be adding a “plus 1” to the Wyatt Bunch!” she wrote to her more than one million followers. She then tagged the “glam squad” responsible for her unique look.

It’s not clear when Wyatt is due, and neither did she indicate whether she’s expecting a boy or a girl. But this is her second child with Darring, who is her third husband. And while Keke Wyatt seems happy with her life now, things weren’t always that way.

A brief history of her messy love life

BCK reports that Keke Wyatt has had a bit of a messy love life. When she was 18 years old, she married her road manager, Rahmat Morton. Unfortunately, the marriage ended ignobly when a domestic violence incident between the pair was reported. In 2009, Wyatt filed for divorce from Morton. They share three children together. At the time Wyatt filed for divorce from Morton, she was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child. However, the pregnancy ended with a stillbirth.

Keke Wyatt then married Michael Jamar Ford in 2010. She and Ford appeared on the television show R&B Divas. Ford came to the marriage with a daughter from a previous relationship, and Wyatt came to the marriage with her three children. Together, Wyatt and Ford had four children of their own: two sons and two daughters. The pair then divorced in 2017.

Keke Wyatt then married Zackariah David Darring, who was her childhood sweetheart. The pair have one child together, and she’s pregnant with their second shared child…and her eleventh.
