‘My Boo’: Keyshia Cole and Her Man Niko Khale Serve Couple Goals with Cute Pic

The love between Keyshia Cole and her boyfriend Niko Khale is apparently just too cute for words.

The 38-year-old crooner, who recently reactivated her social media accounts, shared a few behind-the-scenes photos of her video shoot with singer Kehlani for their new hit single “All Me.” Of course, Khale, 24, appeared on the set of the shoot to support Cole.

The new mother took to her Instagram story on Monday morning and posted a photo of the “Winter Coats” rapper giving her the sweetest kiss on the cheek. She smiled into the camera as she took the selfie and wrote across the image, “On the video set of ‘All of Me’ with Kehlani- My boo @nikokhale came through. Thanks.”

The couple’s last romantic photo together was posted on Khale’s official Instagram page in November.

He and Cole were photographed at the 2019 BET Soul Train Awards at the time and both attended the event in all-black attire, matching each other. The image showed Khale grabbing a handful of the singer’s backside with his hand. He added in his caption, “Damn she look good.”

Fans gawked over the pair’s picture together.

“Dam y’all look good together 😍 @nikokhale cherish your family bro you made it & maintained it”

“Y’all Look GREAT!!❤️ @keyshiacole looking amazing and HAPPY LOVE IT 😍 I don’t think I’ve EVER seen her smile so much!”

“Beautiful…would help if I could spell right…lol. You both look so happy and in love and I’m here for it!❤️ “

“Damnnnnn Sis @keyshiacole You’re glowing 😍 y’all look amazing. You two are so cute together!”

Cole and Hale announced their relationship to the public in early 2018. They welcomed their first child together, son Tobias Khale, last August. The songwriter is basking in fatherhood and wrote via Instagram on Dec. 26, “The real gift is FAMILY 🤞🏾 #MerryChristmas.”

The “Heaven Sent” singer is a second-time mother. She has 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr., whom she shares with estranged husband and former NBA 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.
