Halle Bailey shares 'Before vs. After' after the birth of her son
Halle Bailey thinks about how her body has changed after giving birth.
“Before vs. after,” Bailey, 23, wrote via X on Saturday, February 17, alongside an arrow heart emoji and two side-by-side photos.
In the first photo, Bailey posed for a maternity mirror selfie while wearing pink leggings with a matching cardigan. The sweater was tied above her stomach, exposing her baby bump. She wore the same outfit in the second photo, but closed the hoodie completely over her stomach. Bailey held son Halo over her shoulder in the image.
Bailey previously showed off her postpartum physique at Billboard's New Nominees dinner on Jan. 30, where she stunned in a red-hot minidress and matching coat. Weeks later, she rocked a sheer Gucci dress on the 2024 Grammys red carpet.

Bailey and friend DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Grandberry Jr.) announced in January that they had welcomed their first baby weeks earlier. They have never publicly confirmed this Little Mermaid pregnancy of the star.

“I never lied about it or even said anything about it honey, making a joke about my nose was the furthest I went,” she wrote on January 28 via pregnancy nose” symptom. “I will never understand why you are angry. I protected my own peace, wouldn't you do the same?”
Bailey added, “And I'm going to share my photos 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!”
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 […]
The actress and 26-year-old DDG have been dating since 2022, but aren't thinking about welcoming baby No. 2 anytime soon.
'No, I think you have to wait six weeks for that. That's what I was told,” DDG said last month during a question and answer session on Snapchat “[It’s] too early. I don't want to divide the attention too quickly. In any case, I want to wait a moment – 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.”
The rapper further concluded that it is up to 'Lord Jesus Christ' whether he and Bailey have more children.
