‘Cutest Baby Ever’: Keyshia Cole’s Infant Son Steals the Spotlight in Heartwarming Video With Dad Niko Hale

Keyshia Cole and boyfriend Niko “Khale” Hale‘s son Tobias Khale is just a few days away from turning 4 months old, and he’s already stealing the hearts of fans around the world.

Hale, 24, took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a video of himself and baby Tobias to promote his new song “Sonshine.” In the clip, Cole is seen in the background tidying up their home while Hale held their infant in his arms.

The 3-month-old, who was dressed in an adorable navy blue and white onesie, kept peering over at the camera and sweetly laid his head onto his father’s chest. Hale planted a kiss on the infant’s forehead while showing off his “daddy” attire.

The “Let It Go” singer, 38, and Hale welcomed their baby boy on August 1, an event Cole confirmed in an Instagram post almost immediately.

“Baby boy is here Yall, OMG,” Cole posted online.

The couple also revealed their son’s face to the world after keeping it hidden for the past few months. She wrote via Instagram on Nov. 19, “I absolutely 🥰 couldn’t wait to post these pictures. @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. So happy @daniel_gibsonjr has a baby brother now 💕.”

The “Let It Go” artist is a second-time mother and shares 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. with estranged husband and former Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson. Baby Tobias is presumably Hale’s first child.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
