‘It’s the Smile for Me’: Keyshia Cole Illuminates Social Media with Her Latest Beauty Shot and Fans Gush Over How Happy She Looks

Keyshia Cole is smiling more than ever nowadays.

Not only is the “Heaven Sent” singer working on a new album, she’s also living life to the fullest. On Saturday, Oct. 3, Cole hopped over to Instagram with a simple photo of herself smiling profusely, while showing off her gorgeous looks.

“Last NIGHT 😂 Can u guys guess why I was cheesing 😬 so damn hard 😩 ?????” the songstress asked her 6 million followers before adding the hashtag “#MovingInSilence.”

More than 104,000 people loved Cole’s photo. She sported long, brown and honey blond ringlets that fell right at her bosom. Her glam mien included dramatic eyelashes, a soft makeup finish and a nude lippie.

The veteran crooner’s followers fell head over heels with her memorizing smile, while guessing why she’s happy.

“Because your finally happy with yourself and everything else is falling into place!” said one of her fans. “Your my inspiration girl!!! Keep going!!!”

Another added, “Album 8 got you smiling like this??? Love to see it! 😍.”

“That Good Libra vibe .. It’s what we do when we’re Embracing everything that is meant for you ♎️,” someone else remarked.

Cole herself wrote in the comment section, “It’s the smile for me 😂,” while one of her supporters commented, “You was probably on a date🙌🙌.”

The fan may have guessed correctly, especially since the star’s ex-boyfriend Niko Khale recently confirmed they’ve broken up.

Not to mention, Cole is also a divorced woman as well.

She and ex-husband Daniel “Booby” Gibson finalized their divorce last month and the R&B artist couldn’t have been happier.

“I’m so damn happy my divorce is FINALLY, FINAL!!!” she wrote via Instagram on Sept. 3. “This is not a SHADE POST PROMISE! Just a genuinely happy post, that that weight is lifted from over both our heads💜💜 #PARTY IN #MALIBU 🥰.”

Cole and Gibson wed in 2011 and separated in 2014. She filed for divorce from him in 2017 after he allegedly cheated on her. They share 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. and Cole also has 1-year-old son Tobias Khale with Khale.

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.
