By now, we all know that singer Halle Bailey and her longtime boyfriend, rapper and streamer DDG, officially called it quits earlier this year. Bailey, 24, welcomed her first child with the streamer back in January, which they both excitedly shared snippets of online. On July 3, 2024, they decided to share photos from a photoshoot showing Halo’s face during a trip to Italy.

The photos were meant to be exclusive images sold to a publication, but sadly, they were not purchased, so the couple decided to share them with the public via their social media accounts. Since then, DDG has uploaded numerous photos and images with his son, and Halle has shared cute "mommy and me" photo dumps. When DDG announced on Instagram that they were ending their relationship, many people had questions.
Some speculated it was due to DDG’s immaturity and his excessive sharing of their baby online for clicks and views; baby Halo even became a meme at one point. It was evident that Halle did not approve of this, as they announced their split shortly afterward. Last night, DDG made an appearance on Kai Cenat’s streaming platform, accompanied by his son, Halo, who is now around seven months old.

Halle quickly took to Twitter to share the following: “Hi everyone, just so you know, I am out of town and don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight. I wasn’t told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified, especially when I am out of town,” she continued in another tweet.
“As a woman experiencing severe postpartum depression, there are boundaries that I wish to be respected. Nobody knows what someone is going through until they snap.” After receiving backlash for the tweets, Halle deactivated both her Twitter and Instagram accounts. This is not the first time Bailey has spoken about her experience with postpartum, as she previously described to fans on Snapchat that she is struggling with the mental health condition.

“I just want to speak a little bit about my postpartum journey as a new mom and now trying to work while still being severely postpartum. So, honestly, I have severe, severe postpartum, and 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 thirty minutes at a time before I start to freak out,” the singer went on to share, adding, “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.”
Based on this information, it’s safe to deduce that Halle is experiencing a particular type of PPD, which can sometimes intersect with attachment issues, such as an anxious attachment style, particularly during the vulnerable postpartum period. An anxious attachment to a baby may manifest as a heightened need to stay close, extreme worry about the baby’s safety, or reluctance to let others care for them. While this can be part of the bonding process, if a mother feels overwhelmed by fear, guilt, or distress, it may be linked to PPD or postpartum anxiety.
