DDG and Halle Bailey Announce Breakup Following Birth of Their Son

Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., known professionally as DDG, has revealed that he and Halle Bailey, his partner and the mother of his child, have decided to part ways. The news comes less than a year after the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Halo Granberry, born in December 2023.

DDG shared the news through a poignant message on his Instagram Story, expressing both sadness and gratitude for the time spent with Bailey. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote. “I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.” He emphasized that despite the end of their romantic relationship, they remain committed to co-parenting their son, focusing on their individual journeys while cherishing the bond they’ve built.

Halle Bailey, known for her role in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” and as half of the musical duo Chloe x Halle, has not publicly commented on the split. However, DDG‘s statement paints a picture of mutual respect and deep affection, indicating there’s no animosity between them. “Our love for each other remains deep and true,” he added, asking for understanding and support during this transition.

The couple first sparked dating rumors in January 2022 and made their relationship public by attending events together, including the 2022 BET Awards. Their romance seemed to flourish in the public eye, with Bailey even revealing her admiration for DDG‘s work before they started dating, adding a layer of mutual respect and fandom to their relationship.

The announcement of their breakup has left fans surprised and saddened, especially given their recent family expansion. However, DDG and Bailey have shown a commitment to personal growth and professional ambition throughout their relationship, which might now take precedence in their individual lives.
