Halle Bailey, star of 2023’s “The Little Mermaid” live-action reboot, has announced the birth of a baby boy, confirming consistent rumors that she was pregnant last year.<\/p>\n

Bailey, an actress and singer-songwriter, first gained notoriety as part of the duo Chloe x Halle with her sister, Chloe Bailey. But 2023 ended up as a breakout year for her, with starring roles in both “The Little Mermaid” and a film adaptation of the Broadway show “The Color Purple.” In addition to her two movies, she released her debut single, “Angel,” as a soloist. The song has been nominated for a Grammy in the “Best R&B Song” category. “Oh my goodness you guys I feel like I\u2019m in a dream. I just got off a plane and found out this news, God is so so good, I am so grateful and in disbelief,” she wrote on Instagram<\/a>. “Gonna go cry all day.”<\/p>\n

But as Bailey did press tours over the course of 2023, questions of a potential pregnancy began swirling, about which Bailey refused to comment. Many of her fashion choices<\/a>, such as puffer jackets and flared dresses, seem to indicate that she was trying to hide her stomach.<\/p>\n

And on January 6th, the rumors were proven true when Bailey shared an Instagram post<\/a> of her baby boy. She further shared photos and video from her pregnancy, remarking that she was “missing my belly already,” adding that she “obviously had to do underwater pics,” seemingly in a nod to her role as Ariel.<\/p>\n
