Halle Bailey and rapper DDG have revealed that they are ending their romantic relationship, but the two stars assure fans that there is no lack of love between them.
On Thursday, DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., shared the emotional news on social media, confirming the breakup with “The Little Mermaid” star. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote in an Instagram Story. “The decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared.”
The couple, who began dating publicly in March 2022, first met through social media when DDG reached out to Bailey online. In a 2022 interview with Essence, Bailey, a member of the musical duo Chloe x Halle, shared details about how they connected. Their relationship blossomed, and the two welcomed their first child, a son named Halo, in December 2023.
Despite the breakup, DDG emphasized that their bond remains strong. “We are still best friends and adore each other,” he continued in his statement. “As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”
DDG concluded the post by asking for understanding and support as they navigate this new chapter.
