[E]Even though we’re already a few days into the new year, the best thing 2023 could have done for me was having my son,” she wrote in her caption.

The Little Mermaid star said, “welcome to the world, my halo,” and, in a possible nod to all the suspicion, added, “the world would like to get to know you.”

On New Year’s Eve, DDG did a Q&A on Snapchat and when a fan asked, “Do you have a daughter?” he answered bluntly, “No.”

He expressed bewilderment that his and Halle’s fans were “so interested in what I was doing or what we were doing.”

DDG, whose given name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. is, added, “So, man, mind your business. Like, go outside, touch some grass, buddy.”

In September of last year, Halle was followed by the persistent suspicion that she was expecting a baby.
