The Little Mermaid isn’t just flipping her fins these days — she’s flipping the custody arrangement too. 🧜🏽♀️💼
Halle Bailey, aka Ariel 2.0 and queen of vocal cords, just went full mama bear on the legal system and secured temporary sole physical and legal custody of her 16-month-old baby boy, Halo — who is, by the way, already cooler than most of us at 16 months old. 🍼✨
Why? Oh honey, grab a snack. According to some very official court tea that spilled on May 14, Ms. Bailey told the judge that her ex, rapper-slash-YouTuber DDG (real name: Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., because apparently names can be longer than careers), allegedly got violent with her multiple times. Yikes. 🚨
So Halle said, “Nope, we’re not doing this,” and hit the court on May 13 like it was the Met Gala of legal filings. She asked for full custody and a restraining order — no RSVP required.
The judge was like, “Say less,” and granted her temporary full custody of baby Halo until a court date with DDG on June 4. So until then, it’s Mama Halle’s House, and DDG isn’t even allowed to hover within 100 yards. Not her house. Not her car. Not even the same Starbucks. ☕🚫
Also? DDG isn’t allowed to see or visit Halo at all until the court gives the next word. Translation: no playdates, no FaceTime, not even a “wyd” text.
According to the documents, Halle didn’t give DDG a heads-up about the filing because, well, she was afraid he’d either get violent again or go poof with the baby before the law could say “Hold up.”
So now, until early June, it’s Halle, Halo, and peace. ✌️
DDG, meanwhile, is on a legally-enforced time-out.
