FANS have become convinced Halle Bailey secretly gave birth in her new post.
Halle, 23, took to Instagram and opened up about feeling grateful in her New Year tribute.
In the collection, the actress shared throwback photos, including images from her flicks, The Little Mermaid and The Color Purple.
She also shared an image of herself surrounded by children.
The Chloe x Halle singer flaunted her flat tummy as she donned a tight greenish crop top with matching velvet pants.
As the collection concluded, the singer held her hands behind her back as she donned a red skirt with an oversized ruffled shirt.
Halle captioned the post: “2023 is a year I will never forget.
“Looking back on this year, I can’t believe this is my life.
She continued: “I’m so thankful to God. Also thankful to all of you for your unwavering support.”
Halle concluded: “Let’s bring in this new year stronger than ever. Life is what we make it,” with an emoji of a baby angel emoji.
THE COMMENTS
In the comments sections, fans assumed the baby angel emoji and the image of the red dress meant she had supposedly given birth.
One fan claimed: “I just knew a baby was gonna be at the end of this!”
Another fan theorized: ” I guess the red dress photo represents the baby by being in her tummy.”
A third fan speculated: “I see a little baby with the angel emoji.”
A fourth person wrote: “She knew what she was doing when she put that angel baby emoji!”
A commentator chimed: “It’s the baby emoji for me! Congratulations on all the blessings.”
A BABY’S CRY?
This is not the only time fans claimed they spotted a clue in Halle’s post.
Near the end of December 2023, the 23-year-old star appeared in a vlog by Brittany Jones, who documented Halle’s Christmas day with boyfriend DDG, – whose full name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.
The YouTuber filmed the duo opening gifts in the living room of DDG’s Los Angeles home.
A user reposted the clip onto X, formerly known as Twitter, and tweeted: “A newborn baby can be heard crying on DDG’s Christmas vlog, prompting more speculation that Halle Bailey had his child.”
THE COLOR PURPLE
Also in the same month, Halle promoted the release of The Color Purple.
In a behind-the-scenes shot, she took a mirror selfie while dressed up as her character Nettie.
Halle covered up her stomach while holding a cat under her arm.
She also urged fans to support the musical and send her photos of themselves posing next to the movie poster at their local theaters.
In August, the pregnancy rumors sparked when the star was spotted wearing baggy clothing.
Although speculation has been swirling, Halle has yet to confirm or deny whether or not she is currently expecting her first child with DDG.
