‘Little Mermaid’ Star Halle Bailey Secretly Welcomed Child in 2023 & Reveals Baby’s Name

Fans were stunned by "Little Mermaid" star Halle Bailey's news of becoming a mother in secret. The actress recently shared her newborn's name on Instagram alongside a photo of her son's nameplate bracelet.

Before 2023 ended, Halle Bailey marked a milestone by becoming a mother. She surprised fans after posting the wonderful news of welcoming her first child on Instagram.

She announced the good news in a heartfelt post featuring her infant's picture alongside the revelation of the baby's name, Halo. Other celebrities took to the comments section to congratulate her.

"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 [sic]," she wrote alongside a photograph of her baby's hand with a hold nameplate bracelet.

In a separate post, Bailey's partner and the father of her son, rapper DDG, called their child the biggest blessing of his life thus far. The revelation surprised fans and movie-watchers alike as the star successfully kept her pregnancy under wraps.

Fans had taken their sentiments to Twitter, with some speculating about the possibility of Bailey's pregnancy before she made the big announcement. One Twitter user called her then-alleged pregnancy "the [best-kept] secret of 2023!"

Another fan said her pregnancy was a big mystery that no one could confirm. Despite the tight-lipped news, Bailey's baby announcement was well-received by social media users, who expressed joy, excitement, and admiration for the new mom.

Bailey's partner, DDG, is just as excited as a parent. DDG, whose full name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., is known for his music, YouTube posts, and business.

Although he did not finish his college studies at Central Michigan University, DDG sustained himself by making over $25,000 monthly from his YouTube posts. He later focused on his rapping career and loved entertaining like his son's mother.

He and Bailey took their relationship public in March 2022 with a photo on Instagram. They have since been open about their relationship but chose to keep starting a family a private affair.
