Bailey Got Real About Postpartum Body Changes
While she’s glowing now, Halle Bailey was honest about the challenges she faced just last year. The singer opened up in a candid video, originally shared on Snapchat and later circulated on TikTok, about feeling “really insecure” about her body after welcoming her son, Halo, in January 2024.
“Right now, currently I am a little bit thicker than I usually am and I feel really insecure about it, a little bit,” Bailey admitted. “Because all my life, I’ve been like 120 lbs, really skinny. And then I had my baby and then when I was breastfeeding, I lost a bunch of weight.”

“This is my first time I’m taking a break. I was filming every day and being a mom to Halo every day. I didn’t have time anywhere between being on set and being with Halo to workout,” she explained. “So I’m a little fluffy right now because I kind of fell off of my consistent workouts.”
