Halle Bailey, known for her role as Ariel in Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of 'The Little Mermaid,' recently opened up about her newborn son and the meaning behind his unique name. Bailey, 23, revealed that her boyfriend DDG came up with the moniker 'Halo' for their baby boy, which they both instantly loved.
When asked if the name was a reference to Beyoncé's popular song 'Halo,' Bailey enthusiastically affirmed that her son 'for sure has a theme song.' It's no surprise considering Beyoncé has been a mentor to Bailey since discovering her and her sister Chloe Bailey's YouTube channel and signing them to her label, Parkwood Entertainment, back in 2013.
In an interview, Bailey expressed her excitement about her new role as a mother and described her son as the 'sweetest angel in the world.' She also mentioned being completely obsessed with him. Despite keeping her pregnancy hidden from the public eye, Bailey announced last month that she had given birth to her first child with DDG.
A source close to Bailey revealed that she chose to stay private about her pregnancy to protect their baby and relationship from scrutiny. While some found it surprising, her inner circle supported her decision. Following a successful year in movies, including her role in 'The Color Purple,' Halle plans to take some time off to bond with Halo.
Recently, Bailey found herself addressing a hater who accused her of lying about being pregnant. She clarified that she never lied about it and only made a lighthearted joke about her nose, which led to speculation. Bailey defended her decision to keep her pregnancy private, expressing her desire to protect her own peace.
Halle and DDG's relationship began in 2022 after she stumbled upon his YouTube page in 2015. Although she initially forgot about him, he reached out to her on social media, and the rest is history, as Bailey shared with Essence magazine.
The couple has since made various red carpet appearances together, showcasing their love and support for each other. Most recently, they attended the Pre-Grammy Black Music Collective event, where they posed together with arms wrapped around each other, radiating happiness and unity.
As Bailey embraces her new role as a mother and takes time off to bond with her son, fans eagerly await her return to the screen. With her talent and the support of those around her, it's clear that Halle Bailey's star will continue to rise in the entertainment industry.
