While appearing on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on Monday, Keke Palmer hilariously and effectively shut down the hosts' questions about her relationship with Darius Jackson.

After a bit of hinting at the information the hosts were really after, Jenna Bush Hager finally asked point blank:

"Are y'all together?"

The actor responded by "taking a page out of [her] girl Beyoncé's book" and quipped:

"Mind y'all's business."

The hosts obliged with Bush Hager promising:

"We will do that!"

You can watch the moment below.

Fans have actually been wondering the same, though, since this summer when the father of her 7-month-old son publicly shamed Palmer for a sheer outfit she wore at an Usher concert.

In response to a video circulating the web, Jackson wrote:

"It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom."

Of course, Jackson was heavily criticized for his comment, but nonetheless, he doubled down:

"We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is."
"This is my family & my representation."
"I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case."

Palmer in return made some obvious posts showing she was not fazed by Jackson's remarks, and just last month she appeared in a music video for Usher's new song "Boyfriend."

As curious as fans are, though, they absolutely loved her response to the hosts.

Regardless of her relationship status, though, Palmer assured Kotb and Bush Hager that she is happy.

"Yes, life is good."
"I have nothing but gratitude, honestly. Seriously."

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.

97-Year-Old Man Goes Viral After Making 'Dramatic Exit' By Passing Away At His Own Birthday Party

Most people turning 97 might settle for cake, a few birthday cards, and an early bedtime. Not Vito. This man wanted a Halloween birthday rager, and apparently, he wasn't taking requests for a quieter evening.

Vito, whose last name has not been publicly reported, got his wish. The California birthday boy spent the celebration dancing with friends to the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" before unexpectedly passing away at the party. The extraordinary celebration was originally documented on TikTok by Los Angeles baker Eden Malinoff, although her original videos are no longer available.
