It’s only been a few days since Halle Bailey and DDG announced the birth of their son, Halo, but they are already introducing him to the world of social media. Yesterday (January 9), the new parents launched an Instagram for him, and fans instantly flocked to follow it.
The account, @therealbabyhalo, has over 38,000 followers as of this post. “My stylist & dada @ddg run this page.. the flyest baby alive,” the bio reads.
However, for those who might have been expecting to see what Halo looked like, it might not happen for a while. In the first post on Halo’s Instagram, they blurred out the baby’s face for privacy reasons. All that can be seen is that he is rocking a black Nike onesie.
“Went all black nike tech today for doctor check ups… nun too crazy,” the caption reads.
This has left those interested a bit confused by the purpose. “What’s tha point in makin ah instagram for a baby who’s face yall don’t wanna show?” one user commented.
“Creating a page but don’t wanna show the face is wild,” another wrote with laughing emojis. “We supposed to like the baby feet?!?”
Others took a different approach and appreciated DDG for having fun with being a new father.
DDGand Halle Bailey, the most talked about couple, have sent social media into a frenzy with their surprising announcement. On Saturday, Jan. 6, The Little Mermaid actress revealed on social media that she had given birth to their baby boy, Halo.
Hints of Halo
DDG and Halle Bailey have announced that they are officially new parents. The news shocked many, as there had been speculation surrounding their pregnancy.
However, the popular YouTuber had dropped hints about the arrival of Baby Halo, leaving fans wondering if he was simply trolling or if there was some truth to the rumors. SOHH takes a closer look at the top times DDG hinted at the arrival of their bundle of joy:
Baby ‘Halo’
DDG, known for his trolling antics on social media, had subtly hinted at the arrival of Baby Halo in the past.
In a video from 11 months ago, where he was featured alongside his sister-in-law, Britanny Jones, DDG was asked what he would name his future child. Without hesitation, he replied, “Halo.” This unexpected response sparked curiosity among fans, who couldn’t help but wonder if DDG’s words held any significance.

Another clue came on April Fools Day in 2023. DDG shared a photo of a sonogram and captioned it, “Can’t wait to be your dad.”
Many dismissed it as a prank, considering the date, but little did they know that there was truth behind the caption. Halle Bailey could have already been pregnant then, leading DDG to drop this hint playfully.
As speculation grew about their possible pregnancy, DDG’s social media posts added fuel to the fire. In a Christmas video he posted, viewers noticed a brief moment where Britanny mentioned wanting to give a gift to Halle and DDG but hastily told everyone to turn their cameras off.
This caught the attention of fans, who were quick to spot a baby rocker and a Christmas present with the name “Halo” on it in the background. These seemingly innocent details further deepened the mystery surrounding the couple.
It’s A Girl!
In the realm of surprise pregnancies, another artist who recently made headlines is rapper Bhad Bhabie, also known for her appearance on Dr. Phil‘s show and her infamous “Cash Me Outside” catchphrase. After announcing her pregnancy, Bhad Bhabie teamed up with fashion icon Marc Jacobs for a gender reveal photoshoot.
Halle Bailey recently shared exciting news with her fans. In a bold social post, the talented singer and actress revealed that she has become a mother to a baby boy, alongside her boyfriend DDG.
Welcome, Halo!
In a heart-melting Instagram post on Saturday, Jan. 6, Halle Bailey unveiled the arrival of her baby boy. The photo featured the Grown-ish star and her boyfriend DDG, with their hands resting on the baby’s gold-plated bracelet, a gift from the baby boy’s auntie, Chloe Bailey.
With great excitement, Halle expressed her happiness in the caption, stating:
“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…welcome to the world my halo, the world is desperate to know you.”
The news quickly spread, and even Halle’s sister, singer Chloe Bailey, took part in the celebration by reposting the photo on her Instagram story. Chloe wrote:
“The greatest blessing…auntie’s baby.”
Following the announcement, DDG shared a video to his YouTube channeled, titled “I’m A Dad Now,” where he spoke about his new role as a father and praised Halle as a great mother. However, the couple made it clear that they plan to keep their baby boy’s face private for now, choosing to keep him away from the public eye.
‘The World Is Desperate To Know You’
As the news broke, some fans reminisced about the speculation surrounding Halle’s pregnancy before the announcement. Before an issue arose concerning Glamour UK magazine, the magazine initially released a quote discussing marriage and a new baby, mistakenly attributing it to Halle Bailey but later correcting it to Little Mix’sLeigh-Anne Pinnock.
This incident coincided with the circulation of pictures featuring Halle Bailey and DDG, leading many to believe she might be expecting, especially as paparazzi photos revealed a visibly round stomach.
Now that the announcement of their bundle of joy has become public, Halle swiftly emphasized that her personal life is her own in her caption, where she ended it with:
“The world is desperate to know you.”
Halle’s supporters echoed her sentiment, urging others to respect her privacy. User @jaylabrenae wrote, “Even though Halle was truly pregnant, I still think people should mind their own when it comes to that. Glad she announced how and when she wanted to.” Another user, @ATMwithJacy, added, “So much projection in these responses to Halle’s announcement. Ya’ll are not entitled to know intimate details of people’s lives! Especially with how MISERABLE & NEGATIVE a lot of you are.”
Rihanna Welcomes Baby Boy
Halle Bailey joins a league of notable women who have recently welcomed their children into the world, including Rihanna. The Bajan singer and entrepreneur recently gave birth to her baby boy, Riot Rose alongside boyfriend,A$AP Rocky.
DDG joked that fans of him and Halle Bailey need to look into “detective work” for being able to figure out they were expecting. He reflected on welcoming his first son, Halo, with the actress in a vlog post on YouTube titled, I’m A Dad Now…, on Sunday.
“I’m a dad. I’m a dad, y’all,” he began the video. “I have a son — I have a baby boy. He’s a newborn. He was actually born last year [but] we were just waiting on the right time to basically break the news or whatever. It’s been a lot of speculation.” From there, he joked fans should quit their jobs and look into “detective work,” because of the rumors about the pregnancy. He added: “It’s a blessing and I love him so much. I barely know him and he barely know me. We barely know each other. I just love him so much and it’s just a different type of feeling.”

DDG also discussed the birth of his son in posts on social media. In one video, he showed off the car seat in the back of his vehicle. “I ain’t gotta hide nothing no more,” he remarked. “That’s why I’m so happy.” Check out all of his comments on becoming a parent below.
Bailey first confirmed that the two had welcomed their first child in a post on Instagram, Saturday night. In doing so, she shared a picture of her and the baby holding hands. “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..,” Bailey began in the caption. “Welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Halle Bailey and DDG’s son on HotNewHipHop.
Halle Bailey has confirmed what fans long speculated, she was pregnant. She and her boyfriend, rapper DDG, announced the birth of their son Halo on Instagram.
“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,” Bailey wrote. “Welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you .”
DDG shared, “my biggest blessing by far son son.. never been so in love baby halo.”
The Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey and “Way Too Petty” rapper DDG’srelationship have been online detective’s favorite hobby. Due to the unwanted attention and often negative criticism they’ve accrued, the pair have attempted to throw the public off their trail. They even appear to have fed reporters claims that they had broken up.
Eventually they made it clear that they were, in fact, still an item with a string of baecation photos across their respective social media pages. Another lingering rumor was that the couple was expecting their first child. DDG attempted to dismiss the online batter by recording a trolling video featuring a baby doll and even a younger family member. However, on Saturday, January 6, after weeks of speculation, the pair confirmed that they did in fact welcome their first child together.
“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,” wrote Bailey in an Instagram post. “Welcome to the world, my halo the world is desperate to know you .”
“My biggest blessing by far son son.. never been so in love baby halo,” penned DDG in an upload of his own.
The picture shared by the first-time parents showed the newborn grasping onto their fingers, with a custom engraved gold bracelet revealing his name.
DDG and Halle Bailey recently welcomed their first son into the world, Halo, and fans couldn’t be happier to hear the news. Moreover, this follows months of speculation, gossip, and rumors about whether she was pregnant or not, which they had fun clowning and responding to in vague and mostly dismissive ways. However, a recent freestyle of the rapper’s has fans pointing to a specific reference to his newborn child. “Silver spoon kid, I know Halo don’t want for nothing,” he raps on “Darryl Freestyle.” “He crying, his momma coming, she stronger than Wonder Woman.” Of course, fans had questions about this even before Halle announced their baby’s birth.
On Snapchat, DDG decided to answer some fan questions as he typically does across his social media platforms. One listener asked about this Halo bar, and he went on to claim ignorance when it comes to spitting about his “biggest blessing.” “What bar?” the Michigan native told the camera in response. “You talking about the freestyle that just dropped? I didn’t hear that. I did not hear that bar. Y’all gon’ tell me if I’m tripping.” As such, a lot of fans probably proceeded to point it out to him, or he’s just keeping his trolling up even more.
Furthermore, this is far from the first time that DDG and Halle Bailey decided to be a bit more secretive and jest-heavy when it comes to their family. They had to deal with a lot of presumptions and theories that flooded their accounts, and even if fans were right, it’s heartening that they took this pretty lightly instead of in combative fashion. For example, he recently posted a picture of himself with a baby doll and claimed to announce his “daughter.” Maybe in the next few weeks, the couple will continue to joke with supporters and create more buzz around this mystery.
Meanwhile, this is a wholesome and celebratory occasion that’s perfect to commemorate their second anniversary. We wish them and their pride and joy Halo the best health and happiness for 2024 and beyond. Hopefully they can now focus on their careers and their bond instead of dealing with the rumor mill.

Halle Bailey has announced that she and DDG have welcomed their first child together, a son, Halo. Prior to Saturday night, Bailey never confirmed she was pregnant. She made the announcement on Instagram while sharing a photo of herself holding her infant’s hand.
“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..,” Bailey began in the caption. “Welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you.”

Fans shared plenty of supportive messages in the comments section of the post. One user replied: “Announce it on your own terms!!! I love this and yes folks are desperate af!!! Congratulations beautiful!” Another commented: “Awwww congratulations! Welcome to the world baby Halo!” Many celebrities were among them as well. Nick Minaj wrote: “Welcome to earth, Halo. We’ve been expecting you. Congrats, mama!” Tinashe added: “Welcome to the world baby Halo.” Other celebrities to react include Kylie Jenner, JT, Gabrielle Union, and more. Check out the full post on Instagram below.
Bailey and DDG have been dating for almost two years, after going Instagram official in March 2022. In September, she said that their “love” is serving as an inspiration for her upcoming debut solo EP. “You know, you have puppy love experiences, you think that’s love. But this is my first deep, deep, real love,” she said at the time. “This has been a really beautiful transformative time for me. I have all this new material to write about.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Halle Bailey and DDG’s son on HotNewHipHop.
One of the weirder trends that has developed online in the past few months has been an unofficial “pregnancy watch” of sorts focusing on singer-actress Halle Bailey and her boyfriend, rapper-YouTuber DDG. While Bailey’s been on promo tour for her new film The Color Purple, fans have had a field day speculating about pregnancy rumors, deciding on Christmas that this mystery child had finally been born thanks to a livestream in which Halle wore form-fitting pajamas revealing no baby bump.
DDG decided to address those fans, showing them the alleged baby via Snapchat. The only catch: the “baby” he posed with was a doll — his way of trolling people for caring too much about celebrities’ lives. During the stream, he vented, “I don’t know why people is so invested in what I got going on or what we got going on. Mind your business. Touch some grass. Go do a cartwheel in the backyard or something. It’s weird. I genuinely don’t be understanding. Why do y’all be so invested in people that don’t know you? Whatever is going on in my life or her life is not going to change yours. Let’s focus on ourselves [in] 2024. Let’s try to lock in ourselves, not other people. Please, mind your business.”
DDG knows how to replicate trolls’ energy online whether it’s about his career or his personal life, and that’s something he keeps proving. Moreover, it’s becoming more and more apparent that he’s taking as much advantage as he can of the rampant pregnancy rumors surrounding his partner, Halle Bailey. For example, the rapper recently held up a baby doll for a Snapchat post, captioning it with “Finally showing my daughter.” This and other posts led many online to claim he’s just trolling for the attention and inviting more speculation at the same time that he’s blasting it. It’s as good of a social media strategy as any, but let’s call it what it is: a strategy.
Furthermore, this contrasts DDG’s remarks when a fan asked him about the supposed child. “No,” he replied simply to the question of whether they’re expecting, and proceeded to elaborate on his front of frustration. “Bro, I don’t know why people is so invested in what I got going on or what we got going on,” the Michigan native continued. “Mind your business. Touch some grass.
“Go do a cartwheel in the backyard or something,” DDG went on. “It’s weird. I genuinely don’t be understanding. Why do y’all be so invested in people that don’t know you? Whatever is going on in my life or her life is not going to change yours. Let’s focus on ourselves [in] 2024. Let’s try to lock in ourselves, not other people. Please, mind your business.” However, it’s hard to mind our business when they are doing a lot on the Internet to show their affection to one another. They recently celebrated their second anniversary, a very wholesome affair, and it was great to see.
As such, he can’t really be surprised when so many people want to know about their lives. There are certainly extremes, but the same goes for any time that fans troll the 26-year-old for their relationship. As such, hopefully they continue to post or refrain from whatever they want, as long as we know how they’re really treating the rumors. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on DDG and Halle Bailey.
