DDG Speaks on His and Halle’s Relationship

In his statement, issued via Instagram Stories, DDG shared that the decision to break up was not made lightly. He also emphasized that though the romantic part of their relationship has come to an end, the love they share and their bond as friends will always remain.

“Dear friends and supporters,” he wrote in his statement, “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. This 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.”

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

Focusing On Individual Journeys & Co-Parenting

In his lengthy statement, DDG also touched on his and Halle's focus on their personal growth as individuals and navigating this next chapter as co-parents. The couple share a son, Halo, who they welcomed late last year.

"As we focus on our individual journeys and roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we've shared. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support," DDG wrote.

The former couple Halle Bailey, 24, and DDG (short for Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.), have been linked romantically since January 2022 when they were spotted at an Usher concert. Things seemed good between them just a week ago while at one of the tour stops on Usher's Past Present Future tour and DDG jokingly blocked the R&B singer from feeding Halle a cherry, a moment that went viral shortly after.

While the breakup announcement has some fans quoting the infamous Offset meme ("Y'all won") matter-of-factly, some fans couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the seemingly shocking news. DDG’s social media antics in the past—whether it be joking about breakups or stirring the pot for attention—have left some questioning the authenticity of the split.

With no direct word from Halle yet, some are wondering if there’s more to the story or if this is truly the end for the couple. Either way, we wish Halle and her family healing as they navigate this major life transition.
