Halle Bailey’s heart appears to have found healing in the Mediterranean sun. The Little Mermaid star trades courtroom drama for yacht romance. Her new mystery man offers escape from custody chaos. Recent photos show the actress kissing and cuddling with her new beau during a romantic Italian getaway.
The 25-year-old actress has been weathering a storm of legal battles with ex-boyfriend DDG. In May 2025, Bailey filed for a restraining order against DDG and accused him of abuse while also filing for sole physical and legal custody of their son Halo. The former couple welcomed baby Halo in December 2023. Their once-promising relationship crumbled into bitter legal warfare.

The exes, who once claimed they would remain “forever family,” are now entangled in a heated custody and legal dispute. Bailey was granted a restraining order against DDG after alleging he attacked her during a child exchange in January, leaving her with visible bruises and a chipped tooth. The Grammy-nominated singer’s legal team fights for sole custody of one-year-old Halo. DDG’s lawyer recently requested permission for the rapper to visit their son in Italy.
Bailey’s Italian romance unfolds as production continues on her upcoming film “Italianna.” The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the actress. Her new companion provides comfort during turbulent times. While DDG battles in Los Angeles courts, Bailey builds new memories on Mediterranean waters. The custody war may rage on, but Bailey appears determined to write her own happy ending.
