Halle Bailey is pulling 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.”

Earlier this week, Halle Bailey 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.”

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.

DDG Hilariously Proves Baby Halo Looks “Just Like His Daddy”

At the beginning of this year, DDG and Halle Bailey finally announced the arrival of their first child, Halo. The exciting news came after months of rampant pregnancy rumors, which the high-profile did their best to squash. Fans had their suspicions regardless, and were thrilled to learn that they had been correct.

Since introducing their newborn to the world, the couple has been showing off their journey on social media, appearing to have fun with the transition. DDG, for example, recently dubbed himself the “World’s fastest bottle maker super dad” after preparing a bottle for Halo in seconds. Bailey has been open about her recovery, and has even shared some behind-the-scenes photos of her attempts at hiding her baby bump. They also frequently share adorable photos of their newborn, though they’ve chosen to censor his face for privacy.

Halo’s “Face Reveal”

DDG recently shared a sweet selfie with baby Halo on Twitter, however, telling fans he looks “just like his daddy.” Of course, he didn’t actually unveil Halo’s face, instead swapping it with his own. While some commenters are disappointed as they figured they’d finally be getting a genuine “face reveal,” others aren’t surprised. Earlier this month, after Halo’s birth was confirmed, insiders chatted with US Weekly to reveal why the pair chose to keep him a secret in the first place.

According to them, they were simply aiming to “protect” their then-unborn child, as well as their relationship. “Halle told friends it was to protect their baby and relationship from scrutiny, but it was all very strange to those around them, especially when she has had such a huge year in movies,” the source explained. Bailey later shared that she kept off of social media throughout her pregnancy to keep herself “sane” amid the speculation. What do you think of DDG putting his face on baby Halo’s? Are you waiting on a real face reveal, or do you think they should keep Halo out of the spotlight? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DDG Proves He’s “Super Dad,” Makes Baby Halo A Bottle In Seconds

Following months of relentless pregnancy rumors, Halle Bailey and DDG announced they had welcomed their first child at the end of last year, Halo. While adjusting to parenthood is certainly no easy task, the pair appears to be taking it in stride. Since announcing baby Halo’s arrival, they’ve been met with plenty of support from fans and peers, and even decided to make the newborn his own adorable IG account.

Luckily, it looks like they’re also having fun with the adjustment, as evidenced by a new clip of DDG. The rapper and YouTube star took to social media earlier this week to flex just how fast he was able to snap into dad mode, preparing a bottle for Halo at record speed. He looked pretty proud of himself too, turning the task into an amusing challenge. “World’s fastest bottle maker super dad,” he captioned the clip.

DDG Is The “World’s Fastest Bottle Maker”

“[Halo’s] crying, watch how quick I make this bottle,” he sats the clip before urgently filling the bottle with water. He then put a couple of scoops of formula into the bottle, closed it, and began shaking it vigorously. Once it was ready, he brought it over to baby Halo, immediately silencing his cries. “Baby stops crying,” he declared with a smile. This is far from the first time fans have seen DDG take pride in fatherhood, however, as he shared some sweet words about Halo’s arrival on his YouTube channel earlier this month.

“It’s a blessing and I love him so much,” he described. “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.” What do you think of DDG showing off his parenting skills? What about how quickly he was able to make that bottle?
