Halle Bailey and DDG may be ending their romance, but there is no shortage of love.
DDG revealed that he and "The Little Mermaid" star broke up in an emotional statement on social media Thursday.
"After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways," the rapper wrote on his Instagram Story. "The decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared."
Bailey and DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., went public with their relationship in March 2022 when the "I'm Geekin" rapper shared a romantic tribute for Bailey’s 22nd birthday on Instagram, per People magazine. The two met through social media after DDG messaged Bailey online, the Chloe x Halle singer revealed in an August 2022 interview with Essence.

"Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true," DDG continued. "We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we've built and the beautiful moments we've shared."
He concluded: "As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support."
USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Bailey for comment.
