In a delightful reveal that quelled months of internet speculation, Halle Bailey has confirmed her entry into motherhood. The acclaimed singer and actress, along with her partner Darryl Granberry Jr., known professionally as DDG, shared the joyous news of their newborn son, Halo, marking a beautiful beginning to the new year.

In a tender social media post, Bailey introduced her son to the world. The post featured a heartwarming image of the newborn’s hand clasping his mother’s, adorned with a delicate bracelet bearing his name. “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 expressed, playfully acknowledging the eager curiosity that surrounded her pregnancy.

The couple’s decision to maintain their privacy throughout the pregnancy culminated in a discreet birth in late December, as per various reports. This is the first child for both Bailey, known for her role as the star of “The Little Mermaid,” and musician Granberry. The timeline of their relationship remains private, but it’s evident that their bond is deep and affectionate.

In a previous interview, Bailey shared her admiration for creators like DDG. “I grew up being on YouTube and would always see the young Black creators and was constantly inspired by them. He was one of them,” she recounted, reflecting on their serendipitous connection. “I completely forgot about him. But then I saw that he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally he messaged me — and the rest is history.”

Now, the couple steps into a new chapter of their lives as parents to baby Halo. Their journey, marked by a blend of public attention and personal moments, echoes the path of many modern celebrities navigating the spotlight while forging intimate family bonds. Congratulations to Halle Bailey and DDG on their expanding family and for gracefully embracing parenthood on their own terms.
