‘Mommy’s Twin’: Keyshia Cole Fans Shocked By How Much Her Newborn Son Resembles Her

It looks like Keyshia Cole and Niko Khale Hale‘s 3-month-old son is apparently taking after his mother in the looks department.

Although the couple revealed their infant’s identity for the first time last week, people already have come to a consensus on who baby Tobias Khale looks like.

Thursday evening, an adorable photo of the 3-month-old was uploaded to his official Instagram page. He was dressed in a navy blue and green dinosaur-print tracksuit with matching booties. He was photographed sitting on Cole’s cousin’s lap, gazing at the camera.

The infant’s Instagram photo caption read, “Big chillin w cuz before my walk wit mommy and daddy.”

Hale also celebrated the arrival of their baby boy under a photo of him, Cole, and Cole’s 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr., whom the singer shares with estranged husband and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson.

“My beautiful family,” Hale wrote. 

The couple finally revealed their child’s facial identity on their new reality show “My New Life,” which aired on Monday, Nov. 18. The “Heaven Sent” singer also boasted about her newborn, writing via Instagram, “@tobiaskhale is the sweetest baby, OMG. He’s such a little blessing, and I’m completely in love with him! The smiles he gives EVERY SINGLE Time you smile at him, Brightens the worst of days.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
