Bailey and boyfriend DDG dated for over a year. The couple became Instagram official in March 2022 when the founder of record label Zooted Music made a post on the R&B singer’s birthday.
The actress is notoriously secretive about her private life, as she never confirmed that she was expecting a child during her pregnancy.
In November, Bailey responded to a fan on Snapchat who said she had a “pregnant nose” in a recent photo.
In response to the comment, Bailey shared a video saying, “Listen, if I ever see one more person say something about my nose, it’s gonna be hell.”
“You know why? Because I’m black. I love my nose,” she continued. “Why are you worrying about my nose? Leave me the hell alone.”
In May, Bailey opened up to PEOPLE about what life has been like since starting her romance with DDG. When asked if she would call him a real prince, she said: “Yes. I would say that.”
“I think the best thing about young love is that you can continue to find yourself through this journey of loving someone else,” the actress explained. “And you discover new parts of yourself and maybe things you hadn’t noticed before about your heart.”

In September, the actress said her upcoming solo album was inspired by her experience with “deep, deep love.”
“You know, you have love experiences with puppies, you think it’s love. But this is my first deep, deep, real love,” the singer said of her relationship with DDG.
“This was a really beautiful time of transformation for me. I have all this new material to write about,” the R&B star continued. “It’s like, What the hell did I just experience and go through? A whirlwind of improbability. You never know what you’re capable of until you go through it. I was very creatively inspired and then fell in love from there. And so I really just played with those themes in my music.”
