Halle Bailey and her boyfriend, rapper DDG, are officially parents to a baby boy.
The Little Mermaid actress shared on Instagram Saturday night that the couple welcomed their first child, a son they named Halo.
Bailey shared a photo of herself holding her son's tiny hand with a gold bracelet that said his name, “Halo.” She wrote in the post's caption, “Even though the New Year is a few days old, the best thing 2023 could have done for me was to bring me my son. Welcome to the world, my halo that the world longs to know you.”
DDG also shared the same photo on his Instagram and wrote, “My biggest blessing by far son son. I’ve never been so in love, Baby Halo.”
The social media post came as a pleasant surprise for fans as the duo never confirmed that they were expecting a baby.
Bailey and DDG have reportedly been together for more than a year as the couple went Instagram official in March 2022 when the rapper shared a post on the “The Color Purple” star's birthday.
Bailey previously told People magazine in a May 2023 interview that she would “call” the record label founder Zooted Music her real-life Prince Charming.
“I think the best thing about young love is that you can always find yourself on this journey of loving someone else,” the actress said at the time. “And you discover new parts of yourself and maybe things you didn’t notice about your heart before.”
