DDG and Halle Bailey split — 11 months after welcoming first child

DDG, the US rapper, has announced his separation from Halle Bailey, the Hollywood actress and singer.

In an Instagram story, the rapper, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., disclosed the split was a mutual decision between them.

DDG, 26, said even though the decision is not easy, it is the “best path forward for both of us”.

He added that despite the split, they are still “best friends” and will now focus on co-parenting their child.

“After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote.

“This 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’ve shared.

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

“As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve build and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.

“As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support.”

The duo became public with their romantic relationship in January 2022.

They share a son Halo, who was born in December 2023 after Halle, 24, kept her pregnancy a secret for months.
