Earlier this month, Bailey’s ex-boyfriend DDG, with whom she shares Halo, confirmed that the two had broken up.

In a statement shared to DDG’s Instagram Stories, the rapper wrote, “Dear friends and supporters, After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. The decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared.”

“Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other,” DDG continued.

Moving forward, DDG said that he and Bailey will “focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents,” as they “cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”

During a Sunday, Oct. 6 episode of hisNo Ordinary Podcast,DDG talked more about the breakup, sharing that all was “cool,” because he knew there was"a reason why she stayed with me"and a “reason why we had a child together.”

“It’s a reason why all of this happened,” he said. “Me and Halle are forever family, forever.”
