“It was actually my boyfriend’s idea,” Little Mermaid the star said of her baby’s name. “He’s the one who came up with his name.”

“Even though we’re only a few days into the new year, the biggest thing 2023 could do for me is bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to meet you 😉 🤣♥️,” Bailey wrote in the title of the post.

DDG, 26, shared a video a few weeks later on his YouTube page, discussing fatherhood for the first time and sharing that Bailey is a “great mom.”

“Me and Halle had a baby together,” he said in the video. “I wouldn’t choose any other person in the world to have a child with. We’re learning. She’s a great mom. It’s like crazy. She’s amazing.”
