Wow: Keyshia Cole Shows Off Gorgeous Looks in #FBF Pic

It’s safe to say singer Keyshia Cole is a timeless beauty.

The R&B artist showed off her girlish looks this week in a throwback photo, although it’s unclear how long ago the picture was taken. The image, which was posted to her Instagram story early Friday morning, showed a seemingly young Cole posted up in a parking lot.

She was wearing a sleeveless baby blue tank top, wide-leg jeans, open-toe black heels and a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses. Cole, who’s currently rocking short hair, wore a jet-black long, sleek ponytail in the photo, which was captioned “#FBF.”

Just two weeks ago, the “Should’ve Let You Go” crooner simply left social media in awe after showing off a shimmering purple, orange and green face paint she received at a family outing on the weekend of Sept. 14. While Cole’s “face tat” was the main attraction, fans couldn’t help but notice her youthful glow and flooded her with compliments.

“Keyshia Cole out here being the prettiest girl in the world without makeup … Again 😑😂 what a true beauty,” one fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “So now she’s 12? What’s with all these gorgeous black ladies aging backwards like Benjamin button. … I’m just a lil white raisin 😫”

Someone else commented, “Girl you look so young and amazing like a Glowing teenager 🦋.”

As of late, Cole, 37, and her boyfriend Niko “Khale” Hale, 23, have been focused on new-parent duties.

The couple welcomed a baby boy on Aug. 1 shortly after 11 p.m. and celebrated the one-month anniversary of his birth around Sept. 11. The songstress wrote a sweet message about her infant via Instagram that read, “It’s been one month since this little heartbeat entered our lives and I couldn’t be any more OVERJOYED at the amount of love he has brought with him.”

The infant’s name and face have yet to be revealed. Fans will, however, get a peek at the singer’s second push at motherhood in a new reality show special set to air on BET. A premiere date for the show hasn’t yet been announced.

The Oakland native also has 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr., whom she shares with estranged husband and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
