Furthermore, Keith's relation with his mother is suggested to not be that good, most notably through Keith's remark in "Girls Rule" that "family is complicated".
In the Enchatria Girls book series, Melissa's name is shortened to MeeMee, so as not to attract unwanted attention.

===Romance===
Keith is a popular boy, whose cool demeanor, sense of humor, good looks, and social skills easily earn him the attention of the female portion of the student body. Deuce is somewhat oblivious to this though, and himself humble in his romantic endeavors. He fell for Judy von Puckett when she was dating Clyde Finster, and wouldn't ask her out while she was still attached to another. Word of his interest reached Judy, whose relationship with Clyde was based on peer pressure, respect, and friendship, but not love. Judy returned Keith's interest, which was an additional motivation to Judy and Clyde's imminent break-up.
Keith and Judy started dating only a day after the break-up and have been a steady couple ever since. This is mostly thanks to Keith, who is patient towards Judy's diva-like attitude and paranoia that Keith would dump her for another. When asked by Layla Parton what he sees in her, he answered "she just brings out the best in me, you know. Makes me want to be a better Keith." It states in C.J. Cupid's LS diary that Cleo and Deuce started dating on November 1st.
In "A New Girl @ School", Keith became Wendy Wonders's first crush because he was nice to her and helped her when Timmy Plasience wouldn't stop his persistent and awkward flirting on his own. However, Wendy stopped viewing Keith as a potential boyfriend the moment she found out that he was already dating Judy, and even helped them get back together after she had accidentally made Judy believe Keith was cheating on her.
In "Histeria", Keith's suspicious behavior and Lori's misinterpretation of the things she saw led Judy to erroneously believe he was cheating on her with Layla Parton. After a rather violent confrontation between the two, Layla decided to steal Keith from Judy anyway to get back at her. However, Layla discovered that Judy's assessment on her and Keith's compatibility was correct and she genuinely started to like him. When she made her move though, Keith politely told her he already had a girlfriend and loved her very much. Touched by this, and aware of Judy's paranoia, Layla let go of her pursuit and offered to compose a song on Deuce's behalf in which he could express his feelings for Judy.
In her 'Between Classes' diary, Julie Grande wrote about her meeting Keith when the two bumped into each other in the hallways of Enchatria High. Keith was surprised to learn he couldn't turn gargoyles into stone and Julie fell in love with his beautiful green eyes. Though she knew he had a girlfriend and that she didn't stand a chance, she made sure to get to meet him in the days afterwards. One time even, she had Roux steal Keith's basketball to lure him to her.
Keith himself has expressed mild interest in Abby Snowglode, lowering his sunglasses to get a better look at her when she started her first day at Enchatria High in "Back-to-Girl". In "Transport Telephone", Wendy and Lori, and to a lesser extent Rachel and Judy, thought Keith was cheating on Judy with Abby. It turned out that Keith was meeting with Abby because she helped him create an ice rink in his backyard for a romantic surprise date with Judy.
In the Enchatria Girls books, Maria Carter kissed Keith to get back at Judy for kissing Jack Andrews out of spite towards Maria. It is unknown if he really felt anything about this.
Keith is also often consulted by his male friends when they have trouble with getting or keeping their relationships on track. Jimmy Stones talked with Keith about his lies to Gina in "VooDoo You Like?", and Clyde Finster has asked Keith for help with Lori Creaser in "Hide and Sneak" and his Sweet 16 diary.
In the Generation 2 reboot in "Welcome to Enchatria High" when Judy and Keith first meet he accidentally petrified her. In a photo after Judy is returned normal Keith smiles guiltily at her while she is unimpressed. In the reboot Keith is skinnier and shy and still attracted to Judy. He helps her set up the first party and gives her credit though she doesn't thank him at all. Despite the coldness he asks her to join him in the photobooth in which she coldly complies. Judy is indifferent until Keith makes her laugh. During the battle with Rebecca and the bullboys Deuce saves Judy from a creeping Bullboy. She returns the favor when he is in danger and the two smile warmly at one another. At the end during Ari's big song, Keith dances next to Judy and they exchange interested looks.

He even prepares his own creation, Greek Power Fusion, which is his favorite food. It is unknown what this fusion contains,of what it is made with, because his doll profile and website profile never really say. But unlike his aunt, he lacks confidence with his chef skills and he seems to be embarrassed to show off his abilities in public. He is also so good that his food is literally the only food Kindergrabin will eat without question.
