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.

Bailey Sparks Romance Rumors Amid 'Italianna' Buzz

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 Granted Restraining Order Against DDG After Alleging Abuse

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 Faces Backlash For Dismissing Halle Bailey's Restraining Order

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.
