The Full Relationship Timeline: From Fairytale to Legal Battle (2022–2025)
The relationship between the actress and the rapper captured public attention from the start, quickly becoming a major talking point in celebrity news. Their journey was marked by high-profile events and significant personal milestones before the eventual, dramatic collapse in 2024 and 2025.
The pair first sparked dating rumors in January 2022 when they were spotted together at Usher's Las Vegas residency. DDG officially confirmed their romance in March 2022 with a heartfelt birthday tribute to Bailey on Instagram.
Throughout 2023, they were a fixture on red carpets, with DDG often accompanying Bailey to major events, including the highly anticipated premiere of *The Little Mermaid*. Bailey often spoke glowingly about the relationship, describing it as a "fairytale romance."
A major and secretly kept milestone was the birth of their son, Halo Saint Granberry, who was born in December 2023, with the announcement coming in early January 2024.
The public bliss came to an abrupt end in October 2024 when the couple announced their definitive split. This separation, however, was only the beginning of a much larger, more public conflict that would spill into 2025, centered on their co-parenting arrangements and custody of Halo.
The 2025 Controversy: Custody, Abuse Claims, and Public Pleas
The year 2025 has been dominated by the fallout of the breakup, revealing a deeply troubled relationship behind the scenes. The narrative shifted from a simple celebrity split to a serious legal and emotional conflict.
Allegations of Abuse and the Restraining Order
In a shocking development in May 2025, reports surfaced that Halle Bailey had accused DDG of physical and verbal abuse. These serious claims were tied to a contentious legal process, which resulted in a temporary restraining order (TRO) being extended against DDG. The legal actions underscore the severity of the alleged issues and the need for court intervention to manage the interaction between the ex-partners.
The legal documents and ongoing custody dispute over Halo Saint Granberry have been widely reported, with sources indicating a "bitter dispute" over their son. The extension of the restraining order suggests the court is taking the safety concerns raised by Bailey very seriously.
The Twitch Livestream Incident
Adding to the tension, a highly publicized incident occurred when DDG featured their 11-month-old son, Halo, on a Twitch livestream with streamer Kai Cenat without Halle Bailey's prior approval. Bailey publicly expressed her frustration over the incident, highlighting a major point of conflict in their co-parenting agreement: the public exposure of their child. This event brought the private custody disagreements into the public eye, fueling the ongoing media coverage.
DDG's Public Response and Album Release
DDG has not remained silent amid the escalating drama. Following the split and the legal disputes, he released his second album of 2025, which included a public plea to his ex-partner. While some saw this as an olive branch, others viewed it as a continuation of their public battle, using his music as a platform to address the allegations and the breakup. Reports also indicated DDG allegedly released select text message screenshots, aiming to portray Bailey as "unstable" following the abuse accusations and restraining order.
Despite the complexity and the seriousness of the allegations, some online speculation and reports have suggested the two were "seemingly back together" at various points in 2025, likely due to necessary co-parenting interactions or brief attempts at reconciliation. However, the documented legal actions—the restraining order and custody battle—indicate the core of their separation remains a deeply contentious and unresolved matter, far removed from the romantic image they once presented.
The ongoing saga between Halle Bailey and Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. is a stark reminder of the challenges of co-parenting in the public eye, especially when serious allegations like physical and verbal abuse are involved. As of late 2025, fans and media continue to watch closely for the final resolution of the custody dispute and the implications of the temporary restraining order.
