\u201cLittle Mermaid\u201d star Halle Bailey and her rapper ex-boyfriend DDG decided this week to temporarily put their differences aside in their months-long custody battle over their 1-year-old son, Halo. <\/p>\n
The pair of musicians, who dated from 2022 to 2024, agreed to drop their mutual domestic violence restraining order requests and settled on temporary custody terms to co-parent their child, according to a stipulation filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The stipulation, signed by both parties, is a significant development in the exes\u2019 dispute, which came to a head in the summer.<\/p>\n
When Bailey (of the \u201cDo It\u201d sister-singer duo Chlo\u00eb x Halle) and DDG (born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) announced their split <\/a>in October 2024, the latter said \u201cwe are still best friends and adore each other\u201d and would work to co-parent their son. But tension between the exes surfaced in May after Bailey secured a temporary restraining order<\/a> alleging the father of her child was abusive throughout their two-year relationship and had continued to behave badly since their breakup. \u201cDarryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me,\u201d she said at the time, according to court documents. Bailey, 25, requested that DDG, 28, be ordered to stay away from her and their son.<\/p>\n Influencer DDG, known for the 2016 single \u201cBalenciaga,\u201d fired back with allegations against Bailey and a request for his own domestic violence restraining order.<\/a> He accused his ex-girlfriend of \u201cemotional instability and coercive control,\u201d raised concern about her \u201crepeated threats of suicide and self-harm\u201d and alleged instances where she \u201cendangered the child\u2019s safety while in emotional distress.\u201d <\/p>\n Though the stipulation states both Bailey and DDG must \u201cimmediately dismiss\u201d their restraining order requests, they can each file new requests in case of future abuse. <\/p>\n Court documents say that Bailey will have physical custody over Halo except on Wednesdays and certain weekends. The stipulation also outlines a custody agreement for birthdays and the upcoming holidays.<\/p>\n The latest court documents also address each parent\u2019s social media use, which proved to be a point of contention<\/a> after the breakup. Notably, DDG brought baby Halo with him for Twitch star Kai Cenat\u2019s livestream in November 2024.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNeither party shall post, upload or disseminate on the internet or any social media platforms, photographs, images, and or\/information regarding the Minor Child,\u201d court documents say. Friends and family of the two musicians are also barred from posting about Halo. Additionally, neither Bailey nor DDG can \u201cdisparage the party publicly\u201d or in the presence of their child, who turns 2 in December. <\/p>\n Bailey was a fan of DDG years before they became an item. After sparking up a romance via social media DMs, the former pair made their red carpet debut at the 2022 BET Awards. The singer was vocal about how she was smitten with DDG, telling Essence the romance was her \u201cfirst deep, deep, real love.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Through their time together, the former couple faced their share of ups and downs \u2014 including DDG\u2019s diss track about his ex\u2019s starring role in \u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201d and some criticism from Bailey\u2019s older sister Ski Bailey. <\/p>\n Halle Bailey currently has more than just family matters on her plate. <\/p>\n She released her debut solo album, \u201cLove?…or Something Like It,\u201d on Friday. Upon announcing the release earlier this month, she said on Instagram<\/a> that the project is a \u201cstory of first love, heartbreak, and everything that comes after.\u201d<\/p>\n Times assistant editor Christie D\u2019Zurilla and<\/i> editorial library director Cary Schneider contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
