Halle, 23, posted a sweet new photo of her infant son Halo to her Snapchat Stories this week.
In the black-and-white image, the actress posed in an elevator with her baby daddy, DDG.
Underneath her fleece coat, her 1-month-old baby was wrapped up tight, swaddled in a striped blanket with a wool beanie on his head.
Halle kept things casual in black flared pants and sneakers with her hair tied in braids and no makeup.

She grinned a soft smile as her 26-year-old boyfriend leaned in close on her right side.
The YouTuber sported a leather jacket with jeans and Doc Marten shoes.
He added a black beanie with a graphic design and bundled up with gloves.
Halle captioned her post, “We r proud of him,” with three red heart emojis.
The actress made sure to cover her little one’s face with a big red heart emoji, as the couple has still not revealed their baby’s appearance to the public.
COMING CLEAN
The singer’s update came just days after her baby daddy confessed that they were surprised to learn she was pregnant.
DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., confessed the news caught them both off guard.
“We weren’t aiming for a baby, but it just kinda happened,” he said on The Jason Lee Show podcast, adding, “What are we going to do?”
The Moonwalking in Calabasas rapper added that while unexpected, the couple reluctantly were ready.
“Both of us have the same interest in being parents,” DDG continued. “And I feel like she always wanted to be a mom.
“We always kind of just give off that energy, and I always wanted a kid. So, from there we just made the decision to go through with it.”
BRINGING HOME BABY
Halle finally announced that she’d given birth to a baby boy on January 6.
On Instagram, she shared a photo of herself holding his tiny hand, while a gold bracelet reading “Halo” wrapped around his wrist.
“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son,” she shared.
“Welcome to the world, my Halo, the world is desperate to know you.”
Halle’s boyfriend re-shared the close-up shot.
“My biggest blessing by far,” he added.
“Never been so in love. The flyest kid in the universe has arrived,” the rapper mentioned.
His song, I’m Geekin, played in the background.
FAN CLUES
Up until the announcement of her son’s birth, Halle kept her pregnancy private, despite fans quickly picking up clues of the news.
“I just wanted to make sure I had a beautiful and private healthy time in my journey,” Halle said on Snapchat regarding her silence.
The Atlanta-born star explained, “I feel like sometimes as people in the limelight, people feel like they want to know every little thing about their life, but I think it’s really beautiful if you keep some things private and sacred.”
Many were taken aback by Halle’s eventual announcement, considering how she had denied being pregnant in the past.
And while she was seen attending various events in the months leading to giving birth, she concealed her baby bump through elaborate gowns and dresses.
She also once blasted a fan who pointed out that she had a “pregnancy nose.”
“If I see one more person say something about my nose one more time, it’s gonna be hell to pay,” she said on Instagram Live.
“And you know why? ‘Cause I am Black. I love my nose. [What are you] concerned about my nose for? Leave me the hell alone!”
