After a tumultuous few months spent navigating a tense custody battle with ex DDG, The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey is seemingly embracing joy and her latest solo vacay in Positano, Italy, is proof.
Over the weekend, Halle was spotted basking in sunshine, laughter, and some serious PDA with a mystery man aboard a private yacht.
According to Vibe the flicks, captured by photo agency BACKGRID and obtained by The Shade Room, show the pair enjoying some fun in the sun while sharing kisses, taking pictures of each other, and cuddling.
The new alleged lover is a Black gentleman who sports long locs, looks to be around Halle’s age, and has not yet been identified yet.
Reactions from social media users immediately started pouring in, with many of Halle’s fans hyping up the seemingly positive relationship status update.
“This is my type of carrying on,” one top comment read as another person wrote, “It’s giving : we dgaf. What’s for dinner yall?” A fan also referenced another fellow celeb who moved on from her longtime partner recently, writing, “Alexa play Outside by Cardi B!” Regarding one of the snaps showing Halle diving into the ocean with perfect form, another user reacted to with, “She really is the Little Mermaid.” See the photos below.

Halle Bailey and DDG dated from 2022 to 2024 and share one son, Halo. In May 2025, the “Braveface” singer accused DDG of domestic abuse and filed a restraining order against him, which was granted.
The YouTuber filed for his own restraining order against Bailey in June and requested permission to see Halo while Halle had him in Italy.
A lawyer for Bailey, Jeremy Lane, responded that DDG would be allowed to see his son but wants the visits to be supervised by a professional monitor rather than the rapper’s mother.
