DDG and Halle Bailey are sadly going their separate ways, with the former announcing the split on social media, less than one year after the birth of their baby boy.
Taking to his IG story on October 3 to make the announcement, the rapper wrote, “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.”
DDG and Halle first went public with their relationship in January 2022. Things became official a few months later on Instagram, when DDG wished Bailey a happy birthday in a now-deleted video. The couple welcomed their son Halo in December 2023, announcing his birth this past January.
According to ELLE, speculations of a split between the two began to arise in April, when DDG and Halle allegedly unfollowed each other on Instagram and took down some of the photos they had together. Seemingly squashing the rumors, the two were most recently seen together enjoying themselves at Usher’s Past Present Future Tour in Los Angeles just last week.
With that in mind, DDG maintained, “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other.”
Going on to note that as he and Halle “focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve build and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.” Before asking his fans and followers for "understanding and support" as they "navigate this transition.” And concluding his message with, "Thank you for your love and encouragement -- DDG.”
