Halle Bailey, the actress known for her role in The Little Mermaid, has announced the birth of her first child.
The 23-year-old welcomed a baby boy named Halo with her boyfriend DDG, 26, late last year.
Sharing a heartwarming photo of her newborn’s tiny hand adorned with a gold bracelet bearing the name Halo, Bailey expressed her excitement 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… welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you 😉🤣♥️,” she captioned the photo.
Halle and DDG initially sparked romance rumours in January 2022 while attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency.
