Is Halle Bailey dating anyone?
The music star is currently dating American rapper and YouTuber, DDG.
The pair confirmed their relationship in a post on Instagram back in March 2022.
Halle said that before dating, she had been a longtime fan of DDG.
“I’ve been a fan of his for years,” she told Essence. “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 "forgot about him" for a while, until DDG reached out.
“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.”
Per Halle, DDG has been a huge inspiration to her in her work.
“Experiencing deep love for the first time in my life is something I feel has opened a whole new world for me creatively,” she shared with British Vogue.
“What it feels like to love someone other than your family, like somebody you may not have known two years ago but now they’re the center of your world.”
In January 2024, Halle and DDG welcomed a son named Halo.
The couple had been secretive about the pregnancy before the announcement, which is why many were surprised when they shared the news that Halle had given birth.
“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," Halle wrote on Instagram. "Welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you.”
