Actress Halle Bailey and musician Darryl Dwayne "DDG" Grandberry Jr. have been dating for over a year now. Although they officially went public with their relationship a few months ago, their connection goes way back. Both rising stars in the entertainment industry, the couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2022 when they were spotted together at an Usher concert in Las Vegas. This led to a video of them going viral on social media.
Their relationship continued to blossom, and in June 2022, they attended the BET Awards together, making their red carpet debut. They also shared an intimate moment in a TikTok video, showcasing their vocal warm-ups. Throughout the year, they attended various events together, including the Variety Power of Young Hollywood Event and the 5th annual Wearable Art Gala.
In an interview, Bailey expressed her admiration for DDG, stating that she had been a fan of his for years. They reconnected when he messaged her after she expressed her love for one of his songs. Their bond grew stronger, leading them to accompany each other to events like the premiere of Avatar 2: The Way of Water.
However, their relationship faced speculation in February 2023, when DDG's ex-girlfriend made a cryptic tweet about her clothes being worn by his new girlfriend. Although this caused some controversy, Bailey addressed the rumors and assured their followers that everything was fine between them.
The couple has continued to support each other's careers, with Bailey's starring role in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid being a major highlight. Bailey shared that falling in love with DDG has brought about new inspiration and creativity in her life. However, she also admitted that dealing with the public attention can be challenging.
Their love story has continued to unfold throughout the year, as they attended events like the Vanity Fair Oscar party and Milan Fashion Week together. Bailey's appearance at the Glamour Women of The Year Awards sparked pregnancy rumors, but nothing has been confirmed.
