‘Another Child’: Keyshia Cole and Niko Khale Fans Convinced Baby #2 is Coming After He Posts This Steamy Pic

It’s safe to say Keyshia Cole and Niko “Khale” Hale are keeping their relationship quite spicy.

The two love birds are always posting their cute moments together and last week was no different. On Friday, Hale, 24, took to Instagram and posted a sexy photo of him and the “Heaven Sent” singer.

The image showed Cole, 38, who was dressed in a form-fitting lounge set, sitting on Hale’s lap with her legs slightly wrapped around him. He placed his hands around her derriere as they both smiled in each other’s face.

Seemingly boasting about their love, Hale wrote in his caption, “You got that look in yo eye πŸ˜…β€οΈ #NikoKhaleYoEye”

Fans immediately remarked over their hot photo together.

“Yall finna have another kid 😈😈 you two are just so stinking cute together 😩 and both dope πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ˜ #blessings”

“I think a second baby is otw πŸ’ͺ🏾😍 I love how you make her so happy.. she loves you. Black love wins”

“This is how they got the first one πŸ˜‚ Y’all so cute love seeing @keyshiacole  so happy. You two were meant”

“Thank you for LOVING HER @keyshiacole. Girl Stay Blessed and in LOVE πŸ’“ luv you two.”

Although Cole and Hale are madly in love with each other, some folks are not as supportive of their relationship.

Several people expressed their issue with Cole being 14 years older than Hale. Rapper Nick Cannon even called the singer Hale’s “elder” to which she took great offense.

Talk show host Wendy Williams also criticized the relationship on her show and said in a November episode “What are you doing with a 23-year-old young man who still has his whole life to figure out? In the meantime, you have a child, you’ve been around, and you’re 38. … They have a 3-month-old together though, therefore she’s stuck, or he’s stuck. Either way, it’s a stuck situation.”

Although Cole never responded to Williams’ remarks, the singer has addressed critics in the past, who’ve condemned her and Hale’s relationship. In a now-deleted Instagram post from 2018, she wrote, “Now the reason I’m posting The pepper to my salt @nikokhale is because he’s been such a sweetheart to me, and I kno people have been very judgmental about our relationship but I gotta nurture what nurtures me.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
