Despite the recent Usher-related drama, Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson are proving that their bond is stronger than any controversy.

In a live video shared by Jackson on Saturday (August 26) to commemorate Palmer’s 30th birthday, it’s evident that the on-again, off-again couple is back on good terms.

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson was captured engrossed in conversation over lunch at an undisclosed restaurant, seemingly leaving behind any previous disagreements.

Throughout the video, Jackson affectionately referred to Palmer as his “partner in crime,” dispelling rumors of a strained relationship. He later took to Twitter to send heartfelt birthday wishes to Palmer, expressing hope for a joyful and triumphant decade ahead.

Keen observers noted that Palmer commemorated Jackson’s significance by revealing a tattoo of his birthdate just below her buttocks in a birthday post of her own.

Earlier, Jackson had publicly stated that he wasn’t fazed by Palmer’s involvement in Usher’s “Boyfriend” music video. Reports suggested that Jackson had moved on, but he took to social media to refute such claims, asserting that he had not given anyone permission to speak on his behalf.

The controversy between Jackson and Palmer initially sparked when Jackson criticized Palmer’s outfit at Usher’s Las Vegas show. Despite the back-and-forth, it’s clear that the couple’s affection for each other remains strong.

As for Usher, who recently concluded the first leg of his Las Vegas residency, he shared his perspective on the matter with PEOPLE earlier in the month. He emphasized that the incident was a moment of fun and celebration, rather than a negative occurrence.
