SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: A new round of rumors about a potential 'family expansion' has been sparked by 'The Little Mermaid' actress Halle Bailey and her boyfriend DDG again. This time the rumors came after the two were spotted out and about in Santa Monica, California.
In the new photos shared by The Shade Room, Halle was spotted wearing an enormous sweatshirt that appeared to disguise what many are calling her "baby bump," adding to the persistent rumors that she is pregnant with the aspiring rapper, 26.
However, the pregnancy rumors have neither been confirmed nor dismissed by Halle or DDG, as per MARCA.
Earlier in September, the 23-year-old Halle was seen in the audience sitting next to singer Hanni at an Italian Gucci fashion show. Halle's latest activities have only fueled the flames of speculation that she is pregnant, which has been raging since August.
Observant critics noted that Halle not only wore a large gown to conceal her body, but she also deliberately covered her tummy at the event with her arms.
