LOS ANGELES (AP) — After months of speculation and online rumors, Halle Bailey has finally confirmed that she is a mother. The singer and actress announced that she welcomed her first child in 2023 with her partner, Darryl Granberry Jr., also known as DDG. Bailey shared a photo of her hand holding her newborn’s hand, introducing him as Halo.
In an Instagram post, Bailey expressed her joy at becoming a mother, saying, “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.” She also addressed the public’s curiosity about her pregnancy, jokingly adding, “The world is desperate to know you.”
Bailey and Granberry chose to keep their pregnancy and birth private, with Bailey concealing her bump throughout. Reports suggest that she quietly gave birth in December. The couple’s decision to maintain their privacy despite public speculation is commendable.
Halo is the first child for Bailey and Granberry, both in their early twenties. Bailey, known for her role in “The Little Mermaid,” shared in an interview with Essence that she fell in love with Granberry, a YouTuber and musician, after seeing his work on the platform. The couple’s connection grew, leading to their relationship and now parenthood.
Congratulations to Halle Bailey and Darryl Granberry on the arrival of their son. The couple’s commitment to privacy and their desire to do things their own way deserves respect.
