Halle Bailey and Darryl Dwayne “DDG” Grandberry Jr. have ended their relationship less than a year after the birth of their first child.
“After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,”the 26-year-old YouTuber and rapper shared on his Instagram Story on Thursday.
“This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for us both. 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,” he continued.
“As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”
“Thank you for love and encouragement,” he added.
Bailey, 24, has not commented publicly on her breakup with DDG.
The “Little Mermaid” star gave birth to their son, Halo, in December 2023, after keeping their pregnancy private.
The couple appeared to be thriving when they enjoyed a family vacation in Italy in July.
During that beautiful trip, they even shared the first images of Halo’s face.
The couple was first linked in January 2022 when they were seen together at an Usher concert in Las Vegas.
They made their red carpet debut in June 2022 at the BET Awards.
Later on, Halle revealed that she was “for sure” in love with her boyfriend during an interview with Essence.
In that same conversation, she shared that DDG was a YouTuber she had admired for a long time. “Coincidentally, he messaged me — and the rest is history,” she said excitedly.
