Halle Bailey And DDG End Legal Standoff, Agree To Temporary Custody Plan For Son Halo

Halle Bailey and DDG are officially calling a truce. Nearly five months after filing restraining orders against each other, The Little Mermaid star and her ex-boyfriend DDG have both dropped their cases, according to court documents filed on October 27, in Los Angeles and obtained by PEOPLE the following day. TMZ first reported the update.

The decision marks a pause in what has been a tense and highly publicized back-and-forth between the former couple, who share a 1½-year-old son, Halo. The filings note that while the restraining orders have been dismissed, “the parties each reserve her/his rights to resurrect any and all DV allegations.” It also specifies that the dismissal “may not be used as evidence against the party(s) seeking new orders,” meaning either side can refile if needed.

Both Halle and DDG have also agreed to stop publicly disparaging each other and have settled on a temporary custody plan. DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., will have visitation with Halo on Wednesdays and select weekends, along with a set holiday schedule.

The move follows months of legal filings and allegations from both sides. Back in May, Halle was granted a temporary restraining order against DDG after claiming he had been physically and verbally abusive, describing multiple incidents dating back to January 2025. In her declaration, she alleged that he often called her names, including “a bitch” and “evil,” even in front of their son.

“Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans,” she wrote at the time. “He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes ‘live’ ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him.”

She added that these claims were “false” and that she had requested a “set schedule” but he “refuses.” The court order also required DDG to stay at least 100 yards away from Halle and Halo, including at the child’s school and near her vehicle.

In June, DDG filed his own request for a domestic violence restraining order, claiming Halle posed an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to their son. He also sought to block her from taking Halo on an international trip, specifically to Italy, arguing that the child would be “without the protections of the Court” overseas. His request was denied the next day.

By August, the court had issued another order barring both parents from posting photos or information about Halo online. The ruling also allowed the YouTuber “peaceful contact” with Halle for the purpose of coordinating visitation.
