Halle Bailey<\/strong><\/a> went to great lengths to hide her bump while pregnant. But now that she\u2019s given birth to son Halo, The Little Mermaid<\/em> star<\/a> showed off a photo of her bare pregnant belly next to an \u201cafter\u201d photo of how she looks today.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore vs. after,\u201d Halle, 23, captioned a February 17 photo on X, showing her in two mirror selfies wearing a nearly identical outfit. In the first, she rocked a hot pink shirt clipped together at her chest to show her bare bump above a matching pink skirt.<\/p>\n In the second photo, Halle stood in the same location outside her bedroom, wearing a hot pink body-hugging jumpsuit while holding her son, whose face she covered with her phone while using a heart emoji to camouflage the rest of his body.<\/p>\n Halle ignored addressing pregnancy speculation<\/a> for months throughout late 2023, refusing to discuss the topic as she wore baggier clothing that hid her mid-section. She finally confirmed<\/a> on January 6 that she was a new mom, welcoming a son with boyfriend Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.<\/strong>, also known as rapper DDG.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though we\u2019re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son. Welcome to the world my Halo. The world is desperate to know you,\u201d she wrote in an Instagram post holding the infant\u2019s hand while a gold bracelet around his wrist showed his name spelled out.<\/p>\n After announcing his birth, some fans called out Halle for \u201clying\u201d or \u201cgaslighting\u201d them about her pregnancy. In a response on X, she wrote, \u201cI never lied or even said anything about it hon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll never understand why you are mad I protected my own peace, wouldn\u2019t you do the same?\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m gonna share my pics now if I want to because my son is here safely, if u don\u2019t wanna see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you.\u201d<\/p>\n Halle wore an oversized black coat over what appeared to be a large baby bump while sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Clippers game on December 14. By January 30, she was rocking a tight red corset top and miniskirt at the Tres Generaciones and Billboard new nominees\u2019 dinner, flaunting her post-baby body<\/a> snapback.<\/p>\n
