A new video of Halle Bailey and DDG has been doing the rounds online, wherein the Little Mermaid actress can be seen gushing over her ex-partner's outfit. In another video, the rapper can be seen asleep on her lap.
Halle Bailey and DDG dated for over two years. Halle delivered their son, Halo, in December 2023. However, this October, the two announced on social media that they have since parted ways.
Regardless, the clips have since sparked a flurry of speculation online, with many theorizing that the two may have patched things up. However, some have pointed out that the two are co-parents to Halo, noting that they may just be keeping things civil. Here's what one user stated:
"They literally have a baby …"
Many more had a lot to say:
"I mean, he is the dad; we gotta see them together," someone noted.
"It’s called co-parenting," another opined.
"Ok?? This is entirely normal. Halle is suffering from severe PPD and they have an infant child. That’s a lot for young parents to handle. Rooting for her and DDG and wishing them the best," one user stated.
"That's why he said can y'all please respect their privacy in their moment and that's the reason why he didn't move on she was going through stuff after giving birth he understood they were going to be fine because he was always going to fight for her because he loves her," a fourth person posited.
The speculations didn't end there:
"is it strange for you to see people having a child together?" someone probed.
"He put everyone in their business when he announced that they broke up…..its been what 2 months?? No one would have even known had he not said anything," another opined.
"They're going to be in pictures together for at least the next 17 years. We might as well get used to this," yet another user quipped.
"I don't think ppl get how co parenting works," one user joked.
Several online were seemingly of the opinion that Halle Bailey and DDG were simply keeping things cordial for the sake of their son.
