Los Angeles, California – Actress and singer Halle Bailey, known for her role in “The Little Mermaid,” announced on Instagram the birth of her first child, a son. The baby boy was welcomed into the world by Bailey and her boyfriend, rapper Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., also known as DDG.
Bailey shared an image of her newborn’s hand wearing a gold nameplate bracelet, expressing her joy and gratitude for becoming a mother in the new year. DDG also posted the same image on his page, referring to their son as his “biggest blessing” and professing his love for the child.
The couple had been romantically linked since January 2022 and confirmed their relationship two months later. Throughout her pregnancy, Bailey never made a public announcement and concealed her baby bump during public appearances, including the premiere of “The Color Purple” in December.
The news of the birth comes after months of speculation regarding Bailey’s pregnancy, sparked by her sister Chloë Bailey’s response to online rumors. Chloë defended her sister and emphasized the importance of respecting their privacy.
DDG, who gained fame through his YouTube channel and music career, faced criticism for his song “Famous,” which alluded to his insecurities about Halle’s on-screen interactions. Despite these challenges, Halle consistently praised and supported her boyfriend, expressing happiness in their relationship.
Bailey’s personal life has drawn attention and scrutiny since going public with her relationship with DDG. Despite this, she has chosen to keep her personal life private.
In a recent interview, Bailey spoke about the impact of love on her creativity and emphasized the importance of living life on her own terms. She acknowledged that her experiences as a young woman have fueled her art and allowed her to explore new creative avenues.
Congratulations to Halle Bailey and DDG on the birth of their son, bringing joy and happiness into their lives.
