‘Look at Lil Man’: Keyshia Cole and Her Infant Son Adorably Twin on the ’Gram

Keyshia Cole and her infant Tobias Khale Hale left social media users gushing this weekend with their “twinning” pic.

The 38-year-old singer took to Instagram on Sunday, Feb. 2, and posted a darling photo of herself and baby Tobias. She appeared extra glammed-up as she held her son in her arms.

“He so handsome he looks like you happy 6 months to your little guy. He is so cute!!!❣️”

“🔥😍 So handsome. That was quick!! 6 months??!! Time is flying by. He looks just like you lol ❤️”

Cole welcomed baby Tobias with boyfriend Niko “Khale” Hale last August.

After revealing the child’s face to the world in November, she boasted about how her son brought so much joy into their lives, writing at the time, “@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. 💕”

Cole is also the mother of 9-year-old Daniel Gibson Jr., whom she shares with estranged husband Daniel Gibson.

The singer’s twinning post comes just weeks after she celebrated her mother Frankie Lons checking herself into rehab.

“Happy YOU DECIDED ON YOUR OWN, to check YOURSELF INTO a facility to get treatment,” Cole wrote on Jan. 27, along with a few family snaps. “Its only been two weeks but, I’m trying to be hopeful and optimistic 🙃 Maybe that’s what’ll make THIS TIME different.”

Shed added, “This being what YOU WANTED AND NO ONE ELSE…….. Maybe this is the YEAR IN ALL ASPECTS !!!!! GREATNESS 😍😎🥳 #Mom.”

Over the years, Cole has been open about discussing her now-59-year-old mother’s battle with substance abuse. She appears hopeful that her mother will get clean permanently.

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.
