Halle Bailey Pregnancy Rumors Swirl At 2023 MTV Video Music Awards
Fans first speculated the "Little Mermaid" actress was pregnant at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
“Halle stayed away from the pink carpet so she would not be photographed, and when she was inside, she was very mindful in the way she gave hugs, and who she gave them to,” an insider told Page Six at the time. "The orange dress flow was an indicator she was trying to hide."
Bailey, who has been dating YouTuber and rapper, DDG, for a year and a half after they met in 2022 in Las Vegas to see Usher’s music residency, chose to wear a long, loose-fitted orange halter gown that seemingly hid her stomach area.
The source added that at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, “[Halle Bailey] would keep her distance when someone got too close, and she gave out more handshakes than her [usual] enduring embraces.”

The real-life Disney Princess shared a photo collage to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, featuring herself in a purple swimsuit. All of the photos seemingly covered her stomach and belly area -- aside from one that now has fans convinced she is, in fact, pregnant.
Halle Bailey was seen walking away from the camera in her purple swimsuit and a pair of sweatpants, but fans could not help but notice the small bump on her front. Although she tried to hide her stomach from view, it was obvious to users that she is hiding it for a reason.. she has a bun in the oven.
More Proof That Halle Bailey Could Be Pregnant
Last week, Halle Bailey shared a photo of herself in a long, flowy green cape paired with knee-high black boots -- however, she was seen sitting down and, once again, covering her stomach.
Fans immediately took to the comments section to accuse Bailey of being pregnant. "If you are really pregnant, what do you expect fans to say when you really admit it?," one fan wrote.
Another, however, stood up for the actress, writing, "It’s so crazy to me that people think they have any right whatsoever to say whether or not a 23 year old adult woman has a child, how she chooses to dress, or what she decides to do with her career."
One fan wrote something similar, expressing, "Halle is an unbothered queen to ignore all the negativity that's why I love her. ❤️❤️ Leave this sweet girl tf alone pls and thank u! 🫶🏽🫶🏽💕💕".
Halle Bailey has yet to address the pregnancy rumors so for now, fans will have to just wait and see.. and continue using their detective skills to investigate Bailey's social media.
