Halle Bailey, a 23-year-old star, who’s weeks away from her much-anticipated silver screen debut as Princess Ariel in Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, gushed over her boyfriend Darryl “DDG” Grandberry Jr in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.
Halle Bailey deads DDG breakup rumours in new interview
Baile, reflecting on her Disney role, revealed that the movie masterfully captured the essence of true love and genuine friendship.
“I truly think this movie did a wonderful job of telling the story of what it means to nourish and honour true love and genuine friendship,” Bailey shared during the sit-down.
In the film, viewers will be treated to a deeper understanding of Ariel and Eric as the narrative explores their individual backgrounds and whimsical journey to find love.
Bailey expressed her enthusiasm for the opportunity to delve into the characters’ minds and bring their story to life.
Off-screen, Bailey found herself on a captivating personal journey with her 25-year-old rapper boyfriend.
The couple first went ‘Instagram official’ in 2022, and since then, DDG has accompanied Bailey to various red-carpet events.
When asked if DDG possessed the qualities of a real-life Prince Charming, Bailey responded with a smile and a chuckle, affirming that he did indeed fit the bill.
“People love to talk about this. Yeah. I would say that,” she blushed.
In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, DDG expressed his profound admiration for Bailey, stating that she motivated him like no one else. He also admitted that he envisioned proposing to her in the future.
This week, however, the Impatient rapper was the subject of online ridicule when reports surfaced he and Bailey were no longer an item after he had allegedly blocked and unfollowed her on social media.
Internet sherlocks even claimed DDG used ‘burner accounts’ to mock the young actress. Much to his haters’ disappointment, though, it seems Bailey still fawns over her ‘bad-boy’ boyfriend, if this PEOPLE interview is anything to go by.
