Halle Bailey, renowned for her role as The Little Mermaid, and her boyfriend, rapper and vlogger DDG, have joyfully stepped into a new chapter—parenthood. The couple proudly announced the birth of their son, a precious baby boy named Halo, on January 6.
Bailey took to Instagram to share the heartwarming news, posting an adorable photo featuring her baby’s tiny hand adorned with a gold nameplate bracelet—a shared symbol with DDG. In her caption, the 23-year-old expressed gratitude for the greatest gift of 2023, indicating that Halo was welcomed into the world late last year. She warmly wrote, “Welcome to the world, my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you.”
DDG mirrored the sentiment by sharing a similar photo, capturing the hands of their family, with a caption that exuded pure joy: “My biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤️ son son… never been so in love… baby Halo.”
Speculation about Bailey’s pregnancy had been circulating for months and gained substantial confirmation in October when photos surfaced of her and DDG, with Bailey sporting what appeared to be a baby bump beneath her sweatshirt.
In a September interview, Bailey disclosed that DDG marked her first significant adult relationship, describing the experience of love as a profound and creative spark. While acknowledging the public’s interest, she emphasized the importance of maintaining privacy for her peace and sanity.
As Bailey embarked on a transformative journey in the past year, becoming both a Disney princess and a new mom, she also secured her place as a bona fide movie star. Her presence on the big screen in the Christmas-released musical adaptation of The Color Purple added another remarkable milestone to her burgeoning career.
Here’s to a joyous 2024 for Halle Bailey and her growing family!
