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!”
Who is the father of Halle Bailey’s baby?
The father of Halle Bailey’s baby is rapper DDG, who has been her boyfriend since early 2022.
DDG also took to social media to share the birth of Halo, writing, “my biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤️ son son.. never been so in love 🥹 baby halo.”
Like Halle, he also previously shut down rumors that they had a baby.
In fact, he squashed speculations just two days before they announced the birth of Halo.
On Snapchat, he responded “no” to someone asking if he had a child with the Angel singer.
“I don’t know why people are so invested in what I got going on or what we got going on. Bro, mind your business,” he said.
“Go outside. Touch some grass. Do a cartwheel in the backyard or something. I genuinely don’t understand why do y’all be so invested in people that don’t know you.
“Whatever is going on in my life or her life is not going to change yours,” the rapper added. “Let’s focus on ourselves [in] 2024. Let’s try to lock in ourselves, not other people. Please, mind your business.”
What are fans saying?
While many fans were shocked by Halle and DDG’s baby news, many also shared that they weren’t surprised at all, especially since rumors of Halle’s pregnancy were rampant.
“Well we all knew… But good for them!” one wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“She went the whole 9 months with just speculations, nothing confirmed. Now that’s how you do it,” said another.
There are also a lot of fans who congratulated the couple for welcoming their bundle of joy.
“I’m glad she waited until she was ready to confirm it, congratulations to the new parents!” a fan tweeted.
“I’m so happy for them. Glad she and DDG announced this on their own terms. Halle and Halo. Too cute! What a perfect name for their angel!” another fan wrote.
