Months After denying the rumours of expecting a child with her boyfriend DDG, Halle Bailey has finally announced the birth of a baby boy. The actress shared the news with her fans with a close-up shot of their hands on Sunday, January 7. The post also revealed the name of her son, Halo.

Bailey used Instagram to share the news of her baby boy's birth. She shared a picture of her well-groomed hand holding a small hand with a gold bracelet that had the engraving "Halo." Her caption read, “Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo. The world is desperate to know you."

Despite months of rumors, the actress never revealed she was pregnant, which is why she included a small joke after her statement. In a social media video she posted in November 2023, she even urged followers to "leave [her] alone" in response to a commenter claiming that she had a "pregnancy nose."

Halle Bailey and DDG's tumultuous relationship 

Halle’s fans didn’t seem too happy with the news as her boyfriend DDG has a notorious past of downgrading and insulting the actress online. The rapper released a song titled Famous in July, which seemed to be talking about his insecurities related to Halle’s acting profession.

The lyrics seem to refer to Halle’s kissing scene in The Little Mermaid with her co-star Jonah Hauer-King, who played Prince Eric in the movie. The actress was also seen holding his hands on the red carpet of their film's London premiere back in May.

Halle and DDG were first reported to be dating when the two were spotted together in Las Vegas during Usher's residency in January 2022. A few months later, on Instagram, things were made official when DDG wished her a happy birthday in a now-deleted video.
