About DDG and Halle Bailey’s relationship

Halle told a correspondent at the event:
“I have my boo with me today. We’re so excited. We’re gonna have so much fun just supporting Chloe. It will be great.”
The couple continued to appear together at events such as the 5th Annual Wearable Art Gala. In February 2023, controversy stirred when DDG’s ex-girlfriend Rubi Rose accused Halle of wearing one of her old t-shirts. Though Rubi didn’t mention names, social media users identified the shirt from Rubi’s photos dating back to 2020.
In response to the rumors, Halle wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“The devil is working lol. Please don’t feed into the lies, especially from a third party. Stay blessed everyone.”
After wrapping the promotion of her Disney film “The Little Mermaid,” DDG released a controversial track titled “Famous” in July 2023 that many believed was aimed at Halle.
The lyrics included:
“Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes… You know I’m insecure, that’s a no-no.”
Fans criticized the song for its controlling tone and viewed it as an attack on Halle’s acting career. Despite the uproar, the couple stayed together and even appeared at Diddy’s “The Love Album” listening party later that year.
Rumors of a pregnancy began circulating in October 2023 after Halle appeared in public wearing oversized clothing. In January 2024, she confirmed via Instagram the birth of their son, Halo.
In February 2024, DDG shared on The Jason Lee Show that Halle’s pregnancy wasn’t planned.
In his words:
“We weren’t aiming for a baby, but it just kinda happened. I feel like she always wanted to be a mom… I always wanted a kid. So from there we just made the decision to go through with it.”

In the court documents, she alleged physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, writing:
“I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer.”
The court granted a temporary restraining order, requiring DDG to stay at least 100 yards away from Halle and their son, Halo.
