“I never lied about it or even said anything about it honey, making a joke about my nose was the furthest I went,” Bailey, 23, wrote via X on Sunday, Jan. 28, referencing an earlier slam about having a “pregnancy nose” symptom. “I will never understand why you are angry. I protected my own peace, wouldn't you do the same?”
She continued, “And I'm going to share my pictures now if I want to because my son is safe here. If you don't want to see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you!”
Bailey and her boyfriend, DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Grandberry Jr.), never publicly announced that they were expecting their first baby despite widespread rumors. Earlier this month, they revealed that son Halo had arrived in late 2023.
Actress Halle Bailey and rapper Darryl Dwayne “DDG” Grandberry Jr. first met during their respective careers. “I've been a fan of his for years,” the Little Mermaid star told Essence in November 2022. “I grew up on YouTube always seeing the young black creators and being constantly inspired by them. He […]
“Halle told friends it was to protect their baby and relationship from criticism, but it was all very strange to the people around them,” a source told exclusively We weekly earlier in January.
Since Halo's arrival, Bailey and DDG, 26, have regularly shared photos of their son and pregnancy photos.
“If you don't care then why are you commenting honey, you just don't care by living your best life and not commenting on mine,” she clapped back in a follow-up post on Sunday X after a social media user said “leave us out of the conversation” because they don't care.
Bailey then noted that her “hormones were at 10 recently.” She concluded on Sunday: “I'm going back to staying away from Twitter, I love you all.”
Scarlett Johansson and more famous parents have welcomed 'secret' babies over the years. Johansson shares daughter Rose, born in 2014, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac and son Cosmo, born in 2021, with husband Colin Jost. She hid her second pregnancy, although Jost spilled the beans during a comedy show. “We're having a baby,” Jost […]
Despite sharing photos from Halo, Bailey and DDG are focused on keeping their family life private, but they haven't started planning for baby No. 2 yet.
'No, I think you have to wait six weeks for that. That's what I was told,” DDG said during a question and answer session on Snapchat on Jan. 9. “[It’s] too early. I don't want to divide the attention too quickly.”
He added, “I'd like to at least wait a little while – let him get his full attention right now. Our whole world is his right now, so I don't want to take that away from him. … I want him to experience that for a few years.”
DDG further noted that it is up to “Lord Jesus Christ” whether he and Bailey have more children.
