In late December 2023, The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey and partner DDG welcomed their first child, a son named Halo, into the world. Choosing discretion, Halle kept her pregnancy private. At the 2024 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, she revealed, “Halo was my gift — he is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him… to that unyielding spotlight”.
💞 That First Reveal
June–July 2024 brought the world its first clear glimpse of baby Halo. Against a gorgeous Italian backdrop, Halle and DDG posed in matching white outfits, sharing tender family photos featuring their little one—Halo’s curly afro and D&G onesie stealing hearts.
