Despite being embroiled in a messy custody battle with her ex, Halle Bailey appears to be soaking up the summer sun—and some romance—during a scenic getaway in Italy. The Little Mermaid star has had a turbulent few months. Back in May, Bailey was granted a restraining order against DDG, the father of her son, Halo. She accused the rapper of violently assaulting her during a custody exchange in January, which reportedly left her with visible injuries, including bruises and a chipped tooth.

In June, tensions escalated when DDG filed an emergency motion to prevent Bailey from taking Halo out of the country as she prepared to film an upcoming project overseas. While he was reportedly granted a restraining order of his own, Bailey retained temporary sole custody of their son—clearing the way for their trip abroad. And it seems the actress is making the most of her time away. According to photos obtained by The Shade Room, Bailey was recently spotted enjoying a romantic yacht outing with a mystery man. The pair were seen lounging together and even shared a kiss before diving into the water for a swim.

As expected, the steamy images quickly sparked a wave of reactions after we posted the images on our Instagram page. One Resident quipped, “DDG about to scream. I mean stream…” while another urged the public to let Bailey live her life: “Please leave her alone. She’s allowed to move on.” Others empathized with DDG, with one comment reading, “Seeing your baby mother lips next man must be a different type of pain.”

Meanwhile, DDG has found himself at the center of speculation regarding his own love life. In recent weeks, rumours swirled about a potential romance with influencer India Love. However, India was quick to shut down the chatter in a June interview with Complex. “We respect each other’s boundaries,” she clarified. “We’re friends, but we can get flirty and playful because I know he’s not in a relationship, I’m not in a relationship, and it’s for the entertainment of Twitch.”
