During an interview on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, Keke Palmer and the 54-year-old actress explored the idea that “love is an action,” with Palmer saying it’s “something you choose to do.” Palmer then asked the “And Just Like That” star to share the key ingredient that has kept her 20-year marriage going strong.

She continued to praise her husband, Boris Kodjoe, emphasizing how he’s such a “good father.”
“Like, I have a very good father, so I had a very sharp sense…” she began.
