DDG and Halle Bailey

YouTuber DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Grandberry Jr., has announced his split from actress Halle Bailey, just months after the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Halo.

In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram Story, DDG wrote, “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision wasn’t easy, but we believe it’s the best path for both of us. I cherish the time we spent together and the love we shared.”

The couple sparked dating rumors in January 2022, officially confirming their relationship two months later. Despite their recent breakup, DDG emphasized that their love remains strong, stating, “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.”

The news comes as a surprise to fans, who had seen the couple seemingly thriving as they raised their son together. However, their relationship has faced challenges in the past, including allegations of infidelity from rapper Rubi Rose earlier this year. Despite these bumps, the couple appeared to be in a good place, with Halle expressing her thoughts on young love during a May interview with PEOPLE. She remarked on the transformative nature of love and its impact on personal growth.

In April, DDG hinted at a future proposal, saying, “I feel like it’s something that’s gon’ happen. The whole baby stuff was not planned, so I kind of don’t want to plan that either. But we just have to move at our own pace.”

As they navigate this new chapter, we wish DDG and Halle the best and hope they can continue to co-parent their adorable son harmoniously.
