Bailey announced the birth of Halo in a post on Instagram, last weekend. “Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son,” She wrote over a photo of them holding hands. “Welcome to the world my halo the world is desperate to know you." DDG later confirmed the news in a vlog on YouTube."I’m a dad. I’m a dad, y’all," he began the video. "I have a son — I have a baby boy. He’s a newborn. He was actually born last year [but] we were just waiting on the right time to basically break the news or whatever. It’s been a lot of speculation." He also joked that fans should look into "detective work," because of the rumors about the pregnancy. Fans often brought up her loose-fitting clothing choices over the last several months. She also skipped the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet.
