Halle Bailey and DDG Break Up: Relationship Timeline

Earlier this year, following a private pregnancy, Halle Bailey announced via Instagram that she had welcomed a son, Halo, with YouTuber turned rapper DDG. The couple first sparked breakup rumors a few months later, in April, after unfollowing one another on the app, according to Elle, but went on to enjoy an Italian vacation a few months after that in July. Alas, it looks like their relationship has officially come to an end: On October 3, DDG shared a statement on his Instagram Story confirming the breakup.

“After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the statement reads. “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other.” It goes on to confirm the former couple’s commitment to co-parenting and ask for “understanding and support.”

Since they first ignited dating rumors at an Usher concert in January 2022, the relationship between Halle Bailey and DDG has faced criticism from all sides; in a 2022 cover story for Elle, Bailey addressed the backlash directly, saying,  “People have seen me grow up, so of course they might have something to say about how I feel or what I do with my life. I just choose not to read it. I ignore the naysayers and follow my own heart and intuition.”

I can only hope her intuition will lead her to a powerful breakup album.
