Once upon a time, Halle Bailey blew up on YouTube, got signed by *the* Beyoncé alongside her sister Chlöe, and became Ariel in the upcoming live-action version of The Little Mermaid. But just like other über famous Hollywood starlets, Halle has had even more happen along her fame journey…including falling in love! For all the hopeless romantics out there, lemme share the deets of her adorable relationship with rapper DDG for ya—let’s get into it!
March 27, 2022
DDG seemingly confirmed news of his and Halle’s budding romance by posting a B-Day tribute to the singer. “Happy Birthday to the beautifulest, the flyest, the sweetest ❤️ love you forever 🥺💎 @hallebailey,” he said in the gushing caption, which was posted alongside a series of cute selfies.

The duo attended their first ever public event together as a couple: the 2022 BET Awards! And they did not disappoint. Halle was decked out in a black Mônot set complete with a plunging neckline and hip cutouts, while DDG complemented her in a Prada ‘fit accented with chain necklaces and bracelets.

While speaking with Essence in her September/October cover story alongside sister Chlöe, Halle opened up about how her love story with DDG actually started when he slid into her DMs. (TBH, now knowing the good ‘ol fashioned DM is how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met, I’m convinced this is *the* ultimate dating power move.)
In the interview, Halle recalled: “I’ve been a fan of his for years. I grew up being on YouTube and would always see the young Black creators and was constantly inspired by them. He was one of them.” The singer then revealed this was around 2015, but as her own career took off, “I completely forgot about him.”
“Then I saw that he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally he messaged me—and the rest is history,” she said.
Later on in the interview after being asked if she’s in love, Halle even confessed, “Yes. For sure I am.” S’cute!

Clearly, the couple that collabs together stays together! In August, Halle starred in DDG’s new music video for his song “If I Want You,” in which she *obviously* played the role of the musician’s love interest.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club, DDG dished on his ‘ship with Halle, whom he jokingly called his “wife.” “I never been with nobody who motivates me like she do,” he said on the talk show. “I’m seeing different shit. I never really been around this type of shit before.”

The “Moonwalking in Calabasas” rapper also said he was actually the one who made the first move after seeing Halle post about 50 Cent’s song “Many Men,” which just so happens to be one of his favorites too. During the interview, he talked about how his multi-hyphenate partner introduced him to amazing social circles, took him to fashion shows, and changed his overall outlook on many things.

The two were all smiles while they were seated front row at the Gucci Fall/Winter show during Milan Fashion Week.
And Halle even posted pics from the day:

The multi-hyphenate celeb opened up about her ‘ship with British Vogue and admitted that,“Experiencing deep love for the first time in my life is something I feel has opened a whole new world for me creatively.” She added, “What it feels like to love someone other than your family, like somebody you may not have known two years ago but now they’re the centre of your world. I like all of the scary feelings that come with that. I like the suspense, the not knowing what’s going to happen, and I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to be going through in womanhood.”
However, Halle also revealed that despite all of the levity that comes with being in love, “It’s also deeply sacred.” “There’s a lot of eyes on me now, especially with what’s to come. And sometimes I wish I didn’t have so many eyes on me, especially experiencing something like this for the first time.”
Aaaaaaand that’s all for now, but stay tuned for any and all updates on this beautiful couple here!
