Key Takeaways
Los Angeles, April 5 (NationPress) Hollywood star Halle Bailey is embracing her role as a mother and savoring each moment. The 26-year-old actress, known for her role in ‘You, Me & Tuscany,’ recently shared insights about her path to motherhood.
She highlighted the supportive network surrounding her as she raises her 2-year-old son, Halo, according to reports from ‘People’ magazine.
Bailey expressed to ‘People’, "After becoming a mother, I realized, 'I’m truly an adult now.' He has instilled a greater sense of self-assurance in me and empowered my voice. ‘Stronger’ is my mantra for this year.”
Since before Halo's arrival, the actress has been a dedicated advocate for her son, whom she shares with her former partner, DDG.
According to ‘People’, she opted to keep her pregnancy and Halo’s birth private until she felt prepared, later revealing during an emotional speech in 2024 at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood honors, “Halo is my treasure. He’s my greatest gift, and I had no obligation to subject him, myself, or my family to that relentless spotlight. Nowadays, he makes occasional cheerful appearances on my social media.” She added, “It’s surreal to have a little being grow inside you and now witness them exploring the world as their own person. I find myself in tears every day. I’m just in awe of him.”
As a single mother following her breakup with DDG, Bailey acknowledges her close-knit family, including her sister Chloe, for their invaluable assistance in raising Halo while managing her busy Hollywood career.
She stated, “You can't do it all by yourself. I’m thankful for the wonderful women in my life who uplift and support me. It truly takes a village.”
Bailey continued, "Especially when juggling various commitments. While pursuing my career and balancing motherhood, I believe women are capable of achieving it all. We should give ourselves more recognition for our incredible abilities.”
When it's just her and Halo, Bailey cherishes those moments. "We enjoy walks, hikes, and spending time in nature,” she remarked.
