Halle Bailey and DDG may be ending their romance, but there's no shortage of love.

DDG announced that he and The Little Mermaid star have separated in an emotional statement on social media on Thursday.

“After much thought and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the rapper wrote in his Instagram story. “The decision was not easy, but we believe it is the best thing for both of us in the future. I cherish the time we spent together and the love we shared.”

Bailey and DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., made their relationship public in March 2022 when the “I'm Geekin” rapper shared a romantic tribute to Bailey's 22nd Birthday on Instagram, according to People magazine. The two met through social media after DDG messaged Bailey online, the Chloe x Halle singer revealed in an August 2022 interview with Essence.

He concluded: “As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support.”
