Halle Bailey and DDG will no longer be part of each other’s worlds — at least not romantically.

The “Little Mermaid” star and the “I’m Geekin” rapper have called it quits after two years of dating and the birth of a baby boy. “After much thought and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” DDG (née Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) announced Thursday.

“This decision was not easy, but we believe it is the best path forward for both of us,” DDG said in an Instagram Story on Thursday. “I cherish the time we spent together and the love we shared.”

A representative for Bailey, who is one half of the “Do It” duo Chloë x Halle, did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.

“The Color Purple” star Bailey, 24, and DDG, 26, first sparked romance rumors in January 2022 and then made red carpet official at the 2022 BET Awards in June. Speaking to Essence in August 2022, Bailey said she knew about DDG through his YouTube channel and shared that their relationship started with private messages on social media.

When the magazine asked Bailey if she was in love with DDG, she replied: “Yes. I definitely am.”

After some online drama and breakup rumors, the duo took their relationship to the next level. In fall 2023, Bailey sparked pregnancy rumors after Page Six reported that she stayed away from photographers at the MTV Video Music Awards and was “very careful about how she gave hugs and who she gave them to.”

Despite fan speculation, Bailey remained silent on Instagram. DDG was also reserved and denied on Snapchat that they were expecting this. Days after the rapper’s denial, Bailey announced the arrival of baby son Halo.

She said on Instagram: “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.”

She added: “The world really wants to know you.”

In the months following Halo’s birth, Bailey and DDG broke their silence about her private pregnancy. When Bailey accepted an award at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood ceremony in March, she said her son was “the greatest blessing, I had no obligation to expose him.”

Since Halo’s arrival, the musicians have also shared snippets of their life with their son on social media – including a video of the baby on a ride that became meme material last month.

DDG said in his letter Thursday that he and Bailey will co-parent while they focus on their “individual journeys.” He also made it clear that there was no bad blood in this breakup.

“Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true,” he wrote. “We are still best friends and love each other.”
