In the first week of January, Halle Bailey became a mom. The American actress announced through her social networks that she gave birth to a baby boy, fruit of her relationship with rapper Darryl Granberry Jr, popularly known as DDG.
At the time, the also singer and songwriter shared a photo of her hand next to her baby’s hand, whom she named Halo, on her Instagram account.
“Even though we are just a few days away from the new year, the best thing that 2023 could have done for me, was to bring me my son. Welcome to the world my Halo, the world is desperate to meet you,” she wrote to accompany the post.
The actress, known for the live action The Little Mermaid, did not specify the exact date her baby was born, it is only known that it was in late 2023.
The news that Halle Bailey became a mom took everyone by surprise because the actress kept her entire pregnancy a secret, like many aspects of her personal life.
Last year, a follower hinted that it looked like she was pregnant because a feature on her face, namely her nose, had changed and she got upset. “My nose is the way it is and I love it that way,” she replied in annoyance.
Rumors of the actress’ pregnancy came to a head in September 2023, when Bailey attended the MTV VMAs in a steamy orange dress that concealed her belly.
The baby is the fruit of Halle Bailey’s discreet relationship with rapper DDG, with whom she has been in a relationship since March 2022.
