The singer and actress Halle Bailey has been granted a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, the rapper DDGThe Associated Press reports. The rapper will have to stay away from Bailey and her 17-month-old child until a hearing on Friday, June 6, according to the report.

Bailey and DDG, whose legal name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., are rumored to have begun dating in the beginning of 2022. Bailey gave birth to the couple’s son, Halo, in December 2023. The couple split up the following year.

In documents requesting the restraining order, Bailey reportedly said, “Throughout our relationship, Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me. I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son Halo from his ongoing abuse.” She also said that there have been “multiple acts of physical violence” since their breakup, according to The AP.

Elsewhere, Bailey said that DDG has used his prominent platforms on Twitch and YouTube to incite harassment. “Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts bad mouthing me to his several millions of fans,” she reportedly stated in documents. “He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media.”

Bailey is known for her work with her sister in the duo Chloe x Halle. She also starred as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Additionally, she has released several solo singles mononymously as Halle. Her most recent single, “Back and Forth,” arrived in February.

DDG is a well-known streamer with millions of subscribers across his channels on Twitch and YouTube. He released his most recent studio album, Blame the Chat, earlier this month.

Ellie Goulding Reveals She Can’t Recall Recording Higher Than Heaven After Becoming a Mother

Ellie Goulding has admitted she has little recollection of creating her 2023 album Higher Than Heaven, saying she felt like a “robot” after becoming a mother for the first time.

The Burn singer, who worked on her fifth studio record roughly a year after welcoming her son Arthur in 2021, said she returned to the studio before she felt fully ready and now struggles to remember much of the process.

“Music and performing is the thing that keeps me going. I have two children now so the first time I went back in the studio, I was kind of a robot. I made this 2023 album called Higher Than Heaven and I don't remember it,” Ellie said during an appearance on Later... With Jools Holland, according to the Daily Star.

“Any woman that's had a baby can relate to that postnatal phase of, 'What the hell just happened to me?' So I wrote all this music,” she continued. “Someone heard a song from it the other day and was like, 'I thought this was AI, that's the new thing.' And I was like, kind of, because I was like a robot and didn't know what I was doing for a time.”

The Love Me Like You Do artist, 39, recently welcomed her second child, daughter Iris, in March and is preparing to release her upcoming album I Know Too Much in September, only six months after giving birth.

She said that returning to music this time has felt noticeably easier compared to her earlier experience.

“Now I'm much more human and I have done it already, so this time around I'm a lot more equipped to get back into that mindset,” she added.

Goulding shares her son Arthur with her former husband Caspar Jopling, and daughter Iris with her partner, American actor Beau Minniear.

She released her latest single Black Prada Dress on Friday, with the full album set to arrive on 4 September.
