Halle Bailey and DDG’s Relationship Timeline: Photos

Actress Halle Bailey and rapper Darryl Dwayne “DDG” Grandberry Jr. first met through their respective careers.

“I’ve been a fan of his for years,” the Little Mermaid star gushed to Essence in November 2022. “I grew up being on YouTube and would always see the young Black creators and was constantly inspired by them. He was one of them.”

While Halle — who rose to fame as a young singer alongside her sister Chloe Bailey — first stumbled across DDG’s videos in 2015, she soon “forgot about him.” She added: “But then I saw that he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally he messaged me — and the rest is history.”

Halle and DDG first sparked dating rumors in January 2022, two months before going Instagram official. The next year, Halle revealed that they have a “deeply sacred” bond.

“There’s a lot of eyes on me now, especially with what’s to come. And sometimes I wish I didn’t have so many eyes on me, especially experiencing something like this for the first time,” Halle told British Vogue in April 2023.
