“I have severe, severe postpartum, and I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out,” Halle Bailey said.

Previously, Halle Bailey pulled the curtain back on her decision to keep her pregnancy quiet as long as she could.

At the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards Ceremony, Halle revealed she was enjoying her “gift.”

“There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone. Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that,” Bailey said. “With the state of the world and the place it is in with men trying to force their will on our bodies, no one on social media, and for damn sure, no one on the planet was going to tell me what to do with my body or what to share with the world.”

The sentiment echoes that of the child’s father, DDG. Speaking with Hollywood Unlocked, DDG revealed the decision was to push away “negative vibes.”

“I think it was more so people was already giving us negative vibes, so it’s like why let ‘em know then make her pregnancy stressful?”

With a new baby, Halle Bailey and DDG have combined for a new Instagram for their son Halo. In the initial images on the account, Halo’s face is blurred for security.

Halo’s bio reads: “my stylist & dada @ddg run this page.. the flyest baby alive.”

DDG shared, “my biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤ son son.. never been so in love 🥹 baby halo.”

Halle Bailey Shares Her “Severe, Severe” Experience With Postpartum Depression

by

Halle Bailey recently gave birth to her first child with DDG, Halo. Overall, the baby boy seems happy and healthy, with both parents enjoying their newfound responsibility. However, in a new interview with People, Bailey spoke about some of the struggles she has faced since giving birth. In fact, she has had to deal with postpartum depression, which is one of the toughest battles someone can face. Although it has been a hard battle, Bailey is pushing through, and she has been extremely brave in detailing her story.

“I have severe, severe postpartum, and I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out,” Bailey explained. “Halo is a miracle. He is perfect. He is beautiful. When I look at him, I cry because of how special he is. The only thing that’s been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. I feel like a completely different person. When I look in the mirror, I just feel like I’m in a whole new body. Like, I don’t know who I am.”

Bailey admits that some time ago, she kind of dismissed the idea of postpartum depression. Now, however, she knows better, as it has become a daily battle for her. “Before I had a child and I would hear people talk about postpartum, it would kind of just go in one ear and out the other. I didn’t realize how serious of a thing it actually was,” she noted. “Now going through it, it almost feels like you’re swimming in this ocean that’s like the biggest waves you’ve ever felt and you’re trying not to drown. And you’re trying to come up for air.”

Oddly enough, it was only a year ago when social media sleuths were speculating about a breakup between Halle Bailey and DDG.

‘Halo’ Season 2: Pablo Schreiber Addresses the ‘Helmet on or Off’ Fan Controversy

‘Halo’ Season 2: Pablo Schreiber Addresses the ‘Helmet on or Off’ Fan Controversy

ICYMI, there’s been a controversy brewing over the TV adaptation of Halo. If you play the game that goes back over twenty years, you’d know that the main character, Master Chief, does not, I mean, never take off his helmet or armor. It’s a thing. Full stop. Halo arguably made XBOX the console gaming platform it is today and carried Microsoft on its back in the video game world for years, so this matters. Now fast forward to the high-budget, action sci-fi TV series on Paramount+, and there’s been a lot of back and forth amongst the fans about the lead character Master Chief, played by Pablo Schreiber, taking off the helmet.  

Get this, Kiki Wolfkill, the producer and game developer, explained away the controversy. “There’s such a fervor around the idea that it feels like it just happened in Season 2, but we took it off in Season 1,” Wolfkill said to Blavity’s Shadow and Act. “We just reignited the creative debate around his helmet being on or off, and it’s tough.”

“So much of Master Chief is how you, as a player, identify with him in the games and how you inhabit that armor in the games,” she added. “So it’s hard when his helmet comes off in the show, because all of a sudden, we’re telling the story of a character that may be different from how people imagine them in their head because of how personal their connection is to him as the character that they play in the games. At the same time, it was really important for us to be able to tell his story and who he is, both in and outside of the armor. And so we recognized it was a risky decision, but also recognized it was really important to how we wanted to tell his story.”

Look, we get it. They’re doing something different. It’s called taking a cinematic license, and it happens with adaptations. In The Walking Dead, the show departed from the book EARLY and OFTEN—the same thing happened with Game of Thrones.

But check this, and sorry, but spoiler alert, But audiences exited the first season with Master Chief surrendering his consciousness to Cortana, and then Schrieber dished this … “The approach with this show has always been to dig into the character that’s underneath the armor,” said Schrieber. “So we’ll continue with that approach. We’ll see Chief in armor and feel why he is who he is and how effective he is at his job. And, we’ll see Chief in all of his stoicism and power.” Schreiber added, “We’ll also get underneath the armor and examine the man, examine this soldier who has been tasked with saving humanity and is just beginning to experience his own and dealing with the ripple effects of what that means for him in trying to figure out what he’s responsible for, which parts of his life are his own and which he can claim for himself and what he ultimately owes to humanity in his role.”

Here’s what Joseph Morgan added. He plays the new kid on the block, James Ackerson. “You meet James in the first episode, and he comes in; he’s the new boss, right?” Morgan said. “Ackerson’s main concern is the survival of humanity, and so he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that mankind survives…for the good of humanity. So, he shakes things up when he comes in, he has a plan and he truly believes that this is the right way of doing things.”

“He just needs everyone to get on board,” Morgan continued. “So he’ll do whatever it takes to bring people on board, and that means manipulating them. That means butting heads with people, but it’s all about pulling people in line with his vision, and as the season goes on, the character arc gets more complex because we see more of his personal life, his private life, and we start to learn more about James Ackerson, his vulnerabilities, why he is like he is and why he does what he does. So by the time we get to the end, he has been through some experiences that make him a very different person with a very different view on the world.”

For gamer heads, fans of Halo, and those who just follow the series, whether you prefer the helmet on or off, Season 2 of Halo is currently streaming on Paramount+.

Halle Bailey Unleashes Powerful “In Your Hands” Video Featuring Baby Halo, Reveals Meaning Behind Song

by

It’s certainly been a busy few months for Halle Bailey, and luckily for fans, the Little Mermaid star shows no signs of slowing down. Aside from her award-winning film roles and music career, the 23-year-old just welcomed her first child with her boyfriend DDG late last year, a baby boy named Halo. While the songstress appears to be having a blast with her newfound motherhood, she continues to dive headfirst into new projects, including her upcoming solo album.

Last week, she unveiled yet another new single, “In Your Hands.” The moving track arrived alongside a dramatic accompanying music video, which sees Bailey serenade viewers in a dark forest, shred on a guitar, and more. Baby Halo even makes a brief appearance in the powerful visual, which makes sense considering one of her latest revelations.

Recently, Bailey chatted with fans on Instagram Live about “In Your Hands,” answering questions and providing them with some background information on the song. According to her, the track was initially going to be a 30-second interlude on her upcoming album, but friends and family urged her to give it the credit it deserves. She says that after first writing it, she only liked the hook, and later decided to rewrite the remainder of the song and release it as a single.

“The hook is based [on] being in love, being in a relationship and knowing that you know, your future with this person is just beautiful and the love that you have with this person is beautiful but also knowing your worth,” she explained. “The verses that I wrote, I wrote when I was pregnant, and in a way, it has like a double meaning. So the verses almost are to Halo, because I felt like I was singing to him just about how I’m always going to be here for him, and my journey as his mother, and all these things.”

Halle Bailey Unveils Before And After Pregnancy Photos With Baby Halo

Since announcing the arrival of her first child, a baby boy named Halo, Halle Bailey has continued to keep fans entertained with throwbacks to her once-hidden pregnancy. The Little Mermaid star and her partner DDG managed to keep their little one under wraps until January of this year when they confirmed fans’ suspicions with a sweet photo of their son. Fans have been impressed by the young couple’s snappy adjustment to parenthood, and for the most part, have enjoyed retroactively watching their journey.

Today, Bailey gave her Twitter/X followers yet another glimpse into her pregnancy with a couple of before and after photos. In the before shot, Bailey’s seen posing in a mirror in a hot pink outfit, her growing bump on full display. In the after photo, she poses in the same mirror, this time replacing her bump with baby Halo.

Halle Bailey Shows Off Her Transformation

“Such a beautiful mommy son duo,” one commenter notes. Another says, “I need the secret for when I have mine.” While fans are out in full force showing love to the performer and her son, others continue to criticize Bailey for keeping her pregnancy a secret. “Who cares? You didn’t show us then we don’t want to see it now,” one Instagram user writes, making it clear that they’ve held a grudge. “Your sister told us to mind our business. Now you want us to care about your pregnancy,” another angry user writes. “This is giving gaslighting.”

This is far from the first time Bailey’s received backlash for keeping her personal life private, however. Last month, she fired back at social media users dragging her for “lying,” reiterating that she simply “protected [her] own peace.” Despite criticism, it doesn’t look like Bailey will stop showing off her journey any time soon.
