Brent Faiyaz, the soulful R&B artist behind hits like Trust and Upset, has always been private about his personal life. The musician has been pretty elusive about his romantic relationship, leaving fans to speculate and put together clues from social media. His name has recently resurfaced, linking him to the singer and actress Halle Bailey.

Early 2024 rumors speculated that Faiyaz was dating April McDaniel, who is a co-host of the Everybody’s Crazy podcast with NBA great LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James. Though neither of them has publicly acknowledged their relationship, they had been seen together several times during that period.

According to Capital Xtra, a video stating that Brent and April had gotten married even went viral on TikTok, though no official announcements or marriage certificates have been produced to affirm that claim. Therefore, with the sources available, it's safe to say that Brent Faiyaz is not married yet.

Brent Faiyaz has recently been linked to The Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey after being spotted on a Caribbean vacation with her. According to the reports by Lipstick Alley, the rumors started circulating after DJ Akademiks shared pictures that indicated Halle and her son had been together with Brent, potentially in the Bahamas or St. Lucia.

The two weren’t snapped in any photos together, but their timing and the setting gave further fuel to speculation that the two may be dating. This is after Halle’s recent public split from rapper DDG.

At the time of writing this article, there has been no official statement or proof supporting the alleged dating rumors between Halle Bailey and Brent Faiyaz.
