UPDATE: In a significant development, Halle Bailey and her ex-boyfriend DDG have reached a temporary resolution in their contentious custody battle over their 1-year-old son, Halo. The pair has agreed to drop their mutual domestic violence restraining orders and settle on custody terms, according to a stipulation filed on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
This decision marks a pivotal moment in an emotional saga that began with their breakup in October 2024. The two musicians, who dated from 2022 to 2024, are now focused on co-parenting their child amid allegations and tensions that have surfaced over the past few months.
Court documents reveal that while both Bailey and DDG have agreed to dismiss their restraining orders, they retain the right to file new requests should future issues arise. The stipulation grants Bailey physical custody of Halo except on Wednesdays and select weekends. Additionally, the agreement outlines provisions for holidays and birthdays, ensuring that both parents have time with their son during significant events.
The custody battle intensified earlier this year when Bailey accused DDG of abusive behavior throughout their relationship, claiming he was “physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive.” In response, DDG filed for his own restraining order, alleging emotional instability on Bailey’s part and expressing concerns about her mental health, including threats of self-harm.
A notable aspect of the new custody agreement addresses social media usage. Both parties, along with their friends and family, are prohibited from posting any images or details concerning Halo online. The court documents explicitly state, “Neither party shall post, upload or disseminate on the internet or any social media platforms, photographs, images, and/or information regarding the Minor Child.”
This ruling comes amid public scrutiny and speculation, particularly after DDG brought baby Halo to a livestream event with influencer Kai Cenat in November 2024, which raised eyebrows on social media.
As Bailey, 25, navigates her personal life, she is also making waves professionally. Just this past Friday, she released her debut solo album, titled ‘Love?…or Something Like It’, a project she describes as a “story of first love, heartbreak, and everything that comes after.”
Both Bailey and DDG have expressed a commitment to co-parenting, despite the tumultuous backdrop of their relationship. In October, DDG stated, “We are still best friends and adore each other,” indicating a desire to work together for Halo’s well-being.
The latest developments signal a potential truce in their ongoing disputes, but with the right to refile restraining orders in place, the situation remains fluid. As both parents adjust to their new custody arrangement, all eyes will be on how they manage their public personas while prioritizing their son’s welfare.
