Singer and reality star Keke Wyatt offered fans a tender glimpse of her youngest son, Ke’Zyah Jean Darring, in a heartfelt Instagram Reel Thursday — a moment that comes amid a long and difficult medical journey for the toddler. Wyatt shared an update regarding Ke’Zyah’s health, stating that doctors told her that her son has glaucoma and will go blind. But Keke continues to hold on to her faith, speaking, “… but, I trust God.”
Keke’s recent post shows her son beaming in new glasses and greeting followers, introducing him as a “big boy now” and inviting viewers to wave hello alongside her. The clip reflects both Keke’s enduring love and the complex reality of life with a medically fragile child.
A Long Road: Ke’Zyah’s Health Challenges
Ke’Zyah’s health story has been one Keke has openly shared with her fans for years, offering both candid updates and raw emotions on social media. The toddler was born in May 2022 after Keke and her husband, Zackariah Darring, learned during pregnancy that he had Trisomy 13, a rare chromosomal disorder that can cause severe intellectual and physical challenges. Doctors reportedly advised the couple to consider termination after the diagnosis, but the parents chose to continue the pregnancy, leaning on their faith and hope for their son’s life.
Since birth, Ke’Zyah has experienced frequent hospital stays and serious complications. Keke has previously shared that he has struggled with sleep apnea, which causes breathing difficulties while he sleeps, requiring constant vigilance — and even prompting Keke to joke about becoming a nurse herself to provide care. She also disclosed that he has had pneumonia, ear infections, and respiratory challenges that have sent him to hospitals and medical facilities numerous times.
Keke has been transparent about her fears for her son’s development. At earlier stages of his life, she acknowledged the possibility that Ke’Zyah might remain nonverbal or delayed in achieving typical childhood milestones such as walking and talking — realities she approached with faith and love despite her concerns.
From Hope to Vulnerability
While the recent Instagram Reel focused on a lighthearted moment — new glasses and a big-boy greeting — it sits within a backdrop of both struggle and resilience. Keke’s social media updates over the years show her alternating between moments of joy and deep worry, often appealing to her followers for prayers and support as her son battled infections, seizures, and other serious health issues.
Despite these hardships, Ke’Zyah’s presence in Keke’s posts — laughing, responding to prompts, and now wearing glasses — speaks to the small but meaningful victories that matter to a struggling family. Wyatt’s willingness to share these moments has fostered a supportive community around her, even as she continues to navigate the uncertainty and complexities of raising a child with significant medical needs.
