Halle Bailey and DDG have finally shared the first photos of their son Halo’s face, delighting fans with a glimpse of their adorable baby. The couple, who have kept Halo’s face hidden since his birth, chose a picturesque family vacation in Italy to make the big reveal.
On July 3rd, the “Little Mermaid” star and the rapper posted a series of heartwarming photos on Instagram. The images show the family enjoying their time on a pier overlooking the ocean, all dressed in coordinated white outfits. Halle Bailey, 24, looked stunning in a white strapless gown with beaded details, while DDG, 26, wore a matching long-sleeved shirt. Baby Halo was dressed in a cute white onesie and tiny loafers.
Halle captioned her post, “halo’s first time in italy,” accompanied by a white heart and wave emoji. DDG also shared photos from the shoot, including a candid shot of Halo crying, with the rapper mock crying in solidarity. He captioned his post, “la familia ♥️ who halo look like more?” The comments section was filled with fans overwhelmingly agreeing that Halo resembles his mother, Halle.
One user commented, “u want that baby to look like u soo bad😭 thats halle twin,” while another wrote, “Halle is the FATHER.” The couple had previously kept Halo’s face hidden in photos, only revealing his birth days into the new year of 2024. This announcement came after months of fan speculation about Halle’s pregnancy, which she had addressed on social media.
In January, Halle shared a photo of Halo’s hand adorned with a gold bracelet bearing his name. She captioned the post, “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,” adding with laughing emojis, “the world is desperate to know you.”
During the Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon in March, Halle spoke about the invasive speculation regarding her pregnancy. She tearfully explained, “There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone. Halo was my gift. I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that unyielding spotlight.”
The couple’s recent posts from their Italian vacation have been met with excitement and adoration from fans. Halle’s post featured a picture of herself, Halo, and DDG laughing and posing while wearing coordinating outfits overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. She also included a solo photo of herself and Halo. DDG’s post gave fans a closer look at Halo’s face, with a picture of himself at Halo’s age for comparison. Despite his efforts, fans agreed that Halo looks like Halle’s twin.
When announcing Halo’s birth, Halle wrote, “The world is desperate to know you,” and the comments under Halo’s face reveal post proved her right. Celebrities like Ryan Destiny and stylist Zerina Akers commented on the post, with Akers pointing out, “Twinnnnnn!!! 💙✨” and Kali Uchis adding, “Cutie pies !!!!!!” Fans were thrilled to finally see Halo’s face, noting his resemblance to his mother and expressing their excitement.
Halle and DDG’s decision to reveal Halo’s face comes after months of keeping their son out of the public eye. In April 2024, during a live stream with her sister Chloe, Halo’s face was briefly shown before Chloe quickly shielded him from the camera. The couple’s recent posts mark the first proper time fans have seen Halo’s face since his birth.
The couple’s journey into parenthood has not been without its challenges. Halle has been open about her struggle with postpartum depression. In a Snapchat video earlier this year, she shared, “I have severe, severe postpartum [depression], and I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out.”
Halle also spoke about the impact motherhood has had on her self-image. “The only thing that’s been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. I feel like a completely different person when I look in the mirror. I just feel like I’m in a whole new body, and I don’t know who I am,” she said. She emphasized that her struggles are personal, saying, “It has nothing to do with my baby. It has everything to do with me and who I am right now.”
Despite these challenges, Halle and DDG have embraced their new roles as parents. The couple attended the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda event in Sardinia, Italy, earlier this week, making it a family affair by bringing along baby Halo. The fashionable moment was immortalized on social media, with posts that also served as Halo’s face reveal.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The cuteness of baby Halo was definitely worth the wait, and fans are excited to see more of the little family in the future.
