Even more peculiar was that Bailey made the revelation through a social media post. User @kelieshaj made a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, detailing how she got pregnant.
“Went out the country nine months ago, came back with a permanent souvenir,” the June 8th post read. Bailey then replied: “This is what happened to me.”

Halle Bailey Reveals Why Pregnancy Was Kept Private
For months, people had speculated whether DDG and Bailey were expecting a new addition to their family. And the signs were there the entire time. Bailey often wore bigger clothes and was making less public appearances than normal.
But despite all the speculation, Bailey says it was important for her pregnancy to remain a secret – just for her peace.
“There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone. Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that,” she said.
“With the state of the world and the place it is in with men trying to force their will on our bodies, no one on social media, and for damn sure, no one on the planet, was going to tell me what to do with my body or what to share with the world.”
Bailey also noted that she is not the first celebrity to keep their pregnancy under wraps. She also emphasized that women have a right to choose what to do with their bodies.
“Do y’all remember when Prince Z David Marley [Zion David Marley], who came from a queen named Lauryn Hill, entered the world? Do you remember how private Beyoncé was about her pregnancy?” she added.
“We have that right,” she continued. “Every woman in the world has that right to choose what to do with their bodies and what to share with anyone or everyone.”
