"After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways," the 27-year-old rapper wrote on his Instagram story on Oct. 3. "The decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared."

Bailey and the "I'm Geekin" rapper went public with their relationship in March 2022. The former couple welcomed their first child, Halo, in December 2023.

"Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true," DDG continued. "We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we've built and the beautiful moments we've shared."

He concluded: "As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support."

Bailey has been open about her desire for privacy for her young family. The couple did not reveal Halo's birth until months after — amid fan speculation — and revealed his face in July.
