- Celebs. Halle Bailey shares first photo of her son after hiding pregnancy
The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey and her boyfriend, DDG, have broken up less than a year after welcoming their first child together in a shocking split that comes following just shy of three years of dating.
The actress and her rapper partner got together in December 2021 and welcomed their only son to the world approximately two years later in December 2023, following a very secretive pregnancy.
Yet 10 months later, the pair have called it quits with DDG believing it's "the best path forward" for them both as he stresses the pair are still on amicable and are close friends.
"After much reflection and heartfelt conversations," DDG posted to Instagram Stories on October 3. "Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"This decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best path forward for us both. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we've shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true.
"We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we've built and the beautiful moments we've shared. "Thank you for love and encouragement."
Was there an early sign of trouble in paradise?
The young family seemed to be in a good place just as recently as July 2024 when the pair headed to Europe to take a vacation in Italy, publishing the first photos of their son too with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop.
The getaway came after Bailey initially denied rumors of a split between them April calling them "false", despite the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram suggesting problems within their relationship.
The shock break-up comes after Bailey had previously said she wanted multiple children with DDG and wanted to create a big family between the pair.
But now the split seems to only confirm the rumors from earlier on in the year, although the 24-year-old Bailey is yet to comment on the rumors as per PageSix.com.
