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.
