The couple, who began dating in January 2022, welcomed their son, Halo, in January 2024. In August 2022, shortly after they went public with their romance, Halle Bailey expressed her deep feelings for DDG, saying she was “for sure” in love with him. She recalled being inspired by young Black creators on YouTube, mentioning how she had initially forgotten about him until she discovered his music again. “Coincidentally, he messaged me – and the rest is history,” she said in Essence’s September/October 2022 cover story.
