The singer and actress silently welcomed a baby boy in 2023.
Halle Bailey is a proud mother – and one who is not scared to secure her child.
On Thursday, the Little Mermaid star, 23, spoke at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards – where she was an honoree – about her plan to hide her pregnancy throughout the 2023. Bailey stated audience members that the “hard” lessons she learned growing up in the entertainment industry led her to “a place of protection” over her own child and family.
There was no way in hell I was going to share the huge joy of my world with anyone,” she said from the stage in videos shared to internet. The vocalist also added that her son, Halo, “was my gift, is the greatest blessing and I had no obligation to expose him, me or my family to that unyielding fam.”
As she mentioned the group after her sister, Chloe Bailey, give her the award, she cleaned her tears while talking about protecting her baby son from the world’s eye. In the same time, Bailey also called the exciting moment the “biggest joy of her life.”
