Keyshia Cole is clearly a multi-talented person.

The 38-year-old crooner flossed her braiding skills on her Instagram story on Sunday, March 15. She posted a photo of her boyfriend Niko “Khale” Hale, 24, with freshly done plaits that were braided by her. The couple and their family are practicing the art of self-quarantine amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Cole and Khale’s “quarantine bae” photo comes nearly two weeks after they were spotting reuniting with the “Heaven Sent” singer’s estranged husband, Daniel “Booby” Gibson.

The mother of two and Gibson โ€” with whom Cole shares 10-year-old Daniel Gibson Jr., officially split in 2017 after she filed for divorce against him; they have yet to finalize the divorce.

Nevertheless, Khale posted a photo to Instagram on March 3 that showed him with Cole, Gibson, 10-year-old DJ and Gibson’s girlfriend. Khale reflected over the moment: “Late post but we celebrating ya B Day all week u heard! Glad we were able to come together and make ya day special ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ,” he wrote.

Fans commended Cole and Gibson for setting aside their past troubles to co-parent their son.

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.
