Los Angeles, California — Halle Bailey has sparked excitement among fans after being spotted with a new romantic partner while enjoying a summer getaway. Recently released images show the singer, known for her role in “The Little Mermaid,” sharing affectionate moments on a yacht, reportedly off the Italian coast.
The man capturing Bailey’s attention is said to be Scott Bridgeway, a respected music producer recognized for his work with notable artists, including Kendrick Lamar. Reports indicate that Bailey is transitioning into a new chapter in her life, balancing her budding romance with ongoing custody negotiations regarding her one-year-old son, Halo, whom she shares with ex-partner DDG, also known as Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.
Photographs shared on social media depict the couple enjoying playful interactions amid the picturesque backdrop of the Mediterranean. The candid shots feature the pair exchanging kisses and soaking up the sun, reflecting a carefree moment amidst Bailey’s busy life. One image shows Bailey joyfully leaping into the water while Bridgeway focuses on capturing the perfect angle.
Meanwhile, Bailey’s personal life remains complex, intertwined with ongoing legal battles concerning her son’s custody. DDG recently sought a temporary restraining order against Bailey in Los Angeles, expressing concerns about her emotional stability and its potential impact on their child. He has claimed that Bailey’s actions in the past posed an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to Halo.
A court ruling earlier this month allowed Bailey to bring her son to Italy, where she is currently filming. However, the judge also ordered that DDG could visit Halo during the trip, albeit under professional supervision. Additionally, the rapper has been prohibited from sharing any information about the visit on social media.
In previous filings, Bailey accused DDG of various forms of abuse, asserting that his temperament and disrespectful behavior contributed to their breakup. She detailed the emotional harm caused by his public criticisms of her parenting, which have led to harassment from his followers online.
As the actress continues to pursue her career while navigating personal challenges, her latest relationship appears to provide a refreshing chapter in her life. With the summer season in full swing, Bailey seems to be embracing both her professional endeavors and newfound love.
