Halle Bailey joyfully announced the arrival of her first child, a son named Halo, with her boyfriend, DDG.
Sharing the heartwarming news on Instagram, Bailey posted a touching photo of herself holding her newborn’s hand, adorned with a gold bracelet bearing the name “Halo.”
Expressing her happiness in a heartfelt caption, the “Angel” singer wrote, “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.” The couple, who confirmed their relationship in March 2022, have been dating for over a year.
Celebrity friends including Ella Mai, Tinashe, Queen Naija, La La Anthony, and Kali Uchis extended their congratulations to Halle in the comments section following her baby announcement.
Despite ongoing speculation, Halle has maintained a private stance on her personal life and chose not to publicly address her pregnancy. In November, she addressed rumors, particularly those concerning a “pregnancy nose,” on Snapchat, asserting her pride in her Black heritage.
Just days before Halle’s announcement, DDG refuted reports about them expecting a baby while emphasizing the importance of respecting their privacy. However, he also mentioned their son, Halo, in his recently released track, “Darryl Freestyle,” where he rapped about providing for the child and praised Halle’s strength.
In a November 2023 interview with REVOLT, DDG shared insights into his relationship with Halle, emphasizing their strong friendship and shared sense of humor. He expressed admiration for Halle’s fun and funny personality, highlighting the significance of humor and personality in their connection.
The choice of the name “Halo” for their son has led to speculation about its connection to Beyoncé’s 2008 song. This speculation arises within the context of Halle’s professional relationship with the music icon under her label, Parkwood Entertainment, alongside her sister Chlöe Bailey.
