Keyshia Cole celebrated Niko Khale‘s first Father’s Day with a soul-stirring post shared to Instagram on Sunday, June 21.
The mother of two, 38, uploaded a video showing the emotional reaction of Khale, 24, to a custom-designed cake she bought him for the holiday. The confection was adorned with red hearts and sweet images of him and their 10-month-old son Tobias Khale.
“Damn, I almost don’t want you to eat it,” Niko said smiling and looking at the cake in awe. He told Cole that his gift was “amazing” and added, “Thank you so much baby.”
The “Love” singer had another surprise up her sleeve for Niko. She penned a sweet message to her lover and expressed how amazing of a father he is to their little one.
