Halle Bailey gave us a great new year’s surprise with an Instagram post on Saturday night announcing her son’s birth. The singer expressed gratitude for the newborn, Halo, and showed off a picture of herself and her boyfriend, rapper DDG, holding hands with the baby.
“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,” the Little Mermaid actress wrote in the caption. “Welcome to the world my halo… the world is desperate to know you.”
Up until now, Bailey has been private regarding her personal life, never publicly confirming that she was pregnant, which led to widespread fan speculation. According to People, the 23-year-old fired back at a user on Snapchat in November who claimed that she had a “pregnancy nose” in a recent picture. “Listen, if I see one more person say something about my nose one more time, it's going to be hell to pay,” Bailey said in a video. “You know why? Because I'm Black. I love my nose. What are you concerned about my nose for? Leave me the hell alone.”
