Halle Bailey Caught Cozying Up With Mystery Beau Amid Custody Chaos

Halle Bailey has been making waves both on and off the screen, as she appears to have moved on from her contentious breakup with rapper DDG.

The 25-year-old "The Little Mermaid" actress, who has been in the spotlight due to her ongoing custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, was recently spotted enjoying a romantic getaway.

However, what caught fans' attention was that Halle Bailey was seen with a new mystery man while cruising along the coast of Italy.

Photos published by The Shade Room show the pair sharing intimate moments, with Bailey and her new beau seen kissing and cuddling on a yacht.

The actress also shared photos on her Instagram, though the mystery man was not spotted. She stunned in a shimmering, string bikini as she enjoyed a serene yacht outing on the crystal-clear waters of what appears to be the Amalfi Coast.

With her long, braided hair cascading over her shoulder, Bailey posed confidently at the front of the boat, surrounded by breathtaking views of lush cliffs and a picturesque fortress perched atop a rocky hill.

In another shot, the Grammy-nominated singer exudes effortless beauty as she leans casually against the boat's railing, soaking up the sun. The radiant blue ocean and dramatic coastline behind her create the perfect vacation backdrop, while her glowing skin and calm expression hint at total relaxation.

While speculation swirled around the identity of her new companion, it has been confirmed that he is not her "Italianna" co-star, Regé-Jean Page, who is 37.

Production on the romantic comedy, which began in early June, has fans buzzing, but Bailey's new relationship seems to be unfolding in a much more private setting.

The new man in Bailey's life is the first person the "Everywhere" singer has been romantically linked to since her split from DDG last October. At the time of the breakup, the two appeared to part on good terms, with DDG saying, "We are forever family, forever."

However, things have since taken a darker turn, with Bailey now embroiled in a legal battle over custody of their one-year-old son, Halo.

Bailey has been granted a restraining order against DDG after alleging that she had been the victim of physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse.

As The Blast reported, in court documents, Bailey described an incident in January in which she claimed DDG verbally assaulted her while she was attempting to secure their child in the car. The altercation reportedly escalated, with Bailey alleging that DDG physically attacked her, pulling her hair and slamming her face against the steering wheel, which caused a chipped tooth.

Despite these troubling claims, a judge recently denied DDG's request for a restraining order against Bailey.

DDG also recently addressed Halle Bailey's restraining order petition, attempting to brush off the serious domestic violence allegations.

The rapper and YouTuber told fans, "I'm chillin' btw… I have no worries. Streaming later on, no days off!" However, his nonchalant response sparked backlash from fans, many of whom accused him of failing to adequately deny Bailey's claims, with some interpreting his calm demeanor as a subtle admission of guilt.

Critics quickly took to social media, calling out DDG for his dismissive tone.

One user suggested that his claim of "chillin'" was actually code for panic, while others didn't hold back, labeling him a "bum" for not adequately addressing the situation. The anger surrounding the allegations escalated, with even Soulja Boy chiming in, threatening to throw hands with DDG once they crossed paths.

While navigating these personal challenges, Bailey has continued to focus on family.

On Tuesday, she shared heartfelt birthday messages for her sister Chloe Bailey, who turned 27. Through Instagram Stories, Halle posted throwback photos of the two as children and expressed her deep gratitude for her sister's presence in her life. "God blessed me big time with you as my sister, and I'm so proud of you," Halle wrote.

The singer also celebrated Chloe's role as her protector, posting a cute snapshot of the two of them in the bathtub, followed by a photo of Chloe as a baby with the words "I love you" inside a red heart.

Despite the turbulence surrounding her personal life, Halle Bailey's new relationship seems to signal a fresh start, as she embraces love and healing in the beautiful backdrop of Italy.
