DDG & Halle Bailey: From Fairytale to Courtroom – The Real Timeline

What started as a dream romance turned into one of 2025’s most intense celebrity legal sagas. From red carpets and music co-signs to custody battles and restraining orders — here’s everything you need to know about the rollercoaster relationship between DDG and Halle Bailey.

💑 How It Started: Romance & Family Vibes (2022–2023)

In early 2022, YouTuber-turned-rapper DDG and R&B singer-actress Halle Bailey made it official after being spotted at Usher’s Vegas show. By March, they were all over each other’s IG feeds and red carpets. The couple was glowing through events like the 2022 BET Awards and Milan Fashion Week.

Fast-forward to December 2023, and the couple announced the birth of their son, Halo. The internet fell in love with their little family unit, praising their authenticity and low-key love.

🚨 The Breakup & Co-Parenting Pact (October 2024)

On October 3, 2024, DDG took to Instagram to announce the couple’s split, calling it “mutual” and rooted in love and respect. He added that co-parenting Halo would remain their priority.

In December, both were seen smiling while throwing Halo his first birthday bash — proof that they were serious about maintaining peace… at least on the surface.

🔥 Legal Storm: Abuse Allegations & Restraining Orders (May 2025)

Things took a hard left in May 2025 when Halle filed a temporary restraining order against DDG. She accused him of physical abuse — including allegedly slamming her face into a steering wheel and damaging property. Halle was granted sole physical and legal custody of Halo, while DDG was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away.

She also expressed concern about her image being exposed online by DDG, citing emotional manipulation and controlling behavior.

📄 DDG’s Response: Custody Counter & Restraining Order (Late May – June 2025)

Just weeks later, DDG fired back with his own restraining order request, claiming Halle posed emotional and psychological risks to their son. His legal filings said she threatened suicide, once took his firearm, and acted “irrational.”

He also sought sole custody of Halo and tried to block Halle from taking him out of the country for a film shoot.

⚖️ Court Decisions: Early June 2025 Update

On June 4, DDG’s emergency motion to prevent Halle from traveling internationally with Halo was denied. The judge allowed the trip, and DDG’s request for his own restraining order was also denied.

However, Halle’s earlier restraining order and custody arrangement remain active. The next court hearing is set for June 24, 2025.
