Halle Discusses Her Strategies To Navigate Breakup With DDG
Breakups are never easy, especially when they play out in the public eye. The actress attributes her coping strategies to the support of her family and friends, as well as engaging in activities she loves. She shared,
“Travel is so important to me because it’s essential to my mental health… Sometimes all you need is a new environment, some fresh air, some warm air on a beach somewhere just to make you go, Ah, this is what life is about. This is worth living… It’s really just all about being with your loved ones”.
A few weeks ago, on October 3, 2024, rapper DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., took to Instagram Stories to announce the couple’s split. He shared an emotional statement, explaining that their separation was mutual and they would continue to amicably co-parent their son. He 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…”
DDG and Halle Bailey first ignited dating rumors in January 2022, and just two months later, they made their relationship Instagram official. In December 2023, the former couple welcomed their first child together, but have now separated.
