Say hello to baby Halo!
Halle Bailey and boyfriend DDG shared the first photos of their son's face on July 3.
On their respective Instagrams, the couple posted fabulous family photos of their time together in Italy and attending the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show.
“Halo’s first time in Italy,” Bailey wrote next to photos of them on a dock. In the snaps, she wears a stunning white gown, while her son matches her in a white outfit.
DDG, on his end, wrote on his post, "la familia ♥️ who halo look like more?" The musician, wearing a bedazzled white long-sleeve shirt and black pants, shared a close up of the three of them, as well a photo of him and his son, and one, presumably, of him as a baby for comparison.
This is the first time that Bailey shows her son's face, while DDG has blurred his face in his previous posts.
DDG also shared a vlog of Halo's big debut. The 29-minute video shows Halo getting a haircut, going to Target and seeing his "mama" when DDG holds up a Little Mermaid Barbie. It also shows the couple getting ready for the fashion show and taking the family photos.
At the 2024 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards on March 7, she shared why she decided to keep her pregnancy private.
“What was one of the biggest highlights of my life, and to be real, one of the biggest challenges, too, cannot compare to the biggest joy of my life, and that was becoming a mom to my perfect little angel, Halo,” Bailey, 23, said during her acceptance speech, shared by The Hollywood Reporter on Instagram.
She continued by saying that the lessons that she shared in her speech led her to “a place of protection.”
“There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone,” she said. “Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that unyielding spotlight.”

On Jan. 6, the actor and singer announced that she and boyfriend DDG welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Halo.
The new mom shared the news on her Instagram, sharing a photo of her hand holding her baby's tiny hand that had a gold bracelet with the name “Halo” on it.
“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you 😉🤣♥️,” the singer captioned her photo.
DDG shared a similar photo on his Instagram, adding, “my biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤️ son son.. never been so in love 🥹 baby halo.”
While there had been speculation about Bailey's pregnancy, she never confirmed that she was expecting a child.
The rapper had seemingly confirmed that he would be a father by sharing a photo of an ultrasound. However, he shared it on April 1, making people believe it was an April Fool's joke.
“Can’t wait to be your dad,” he captioned the post.
Bailey and DDG first sparked romance rumors in January 2022, before making their red carpet debut together that June at the BET Awards.
Bailey told Essence in August 2022 that they had known each other since 2015, but later reconnected.
On July 3, Bailey and DDG shared the first photos if baby Halo's face during a trip to Italy.
The baby boy was dressed in white, matching his mom who wore a stunning white gown.
