Rapper DDG and actress Halle Bailey, who recently starred as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, have announced their breakup today through a heartfelt message shared on social media. The couple, who just welcomed their first child together last December, revealed that they’ve decided to go their separate ways.
In a statement posted by DDG, the rapper expressed gratitude for the love and support they’ve received throughout their relationship while explaining the difficult decision to part ways. He wrote:
“Dear friends and supporters, After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. 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 built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support. Thank you for your love and encouragement.”
The couple had been a prominent pair in both the music and entertainment industries, drawing fans’ attention for their love and support for each other. Welcoming their first child late last year was a joyous milestone, but they now plan to co-parent while focusing on their individual careers and personal growth.
While the breakup may come as a surprise to many fans, DDG emphasized that they remain close and cherish the bond they’ve built, asking for continued love and support as they move forward separately.
