Halle Bailey's new man's identity reportedly revealed as Scott Bridgeway, Kendrick Lamar's producer
Halle Bailey's new man's identity has reportedly been revealed as Scott Bridgeway, a music producer associated with Kendrick Lamar. The Little Mermaid actress was seen vacationing with him in Italy while on break from filming her next movie. Photos posted by The Shade Room showed Halle on a yacht with the man now identified by fans as Ruchaun Akers, professionally known as Scott Bridgeway. The couple were seen swimming, snapping pictures, sharing kisses, and relaxing—appearing close and comfortable together. Bridgeway, originally from Roanoke and raised in North Carolina, is a hip-hop producer with reported credits that include work with Kendrick Lamar on his album GNX, specifically for tracks "luther "peekaboo" and, "squabble up". The timing of the sighting has drawn attention, as Halle is currently involved in an ongoing custody case with ex-boyfriend DDG over their son, Halo. In May, Halle was granted a restraining order after accusing DDG of domestic violence during a custody exchange. She alleged he left her with bruises and a chipped tooth. Halle also accused him of unlawfully entering her home and continuing to harass her after their separation. Though DDG tried to block her from taking their son abroad for work, the court granted Halle temporary sole custody, allowing her to travel for filming. The custody hearing is still pending. Meanwhile, DDG has remained vocal online, recently stating during a livestream that he would prefer using a fertility clinic for future children to avoid co-parenting. While the legal proceedings continue, Halle's peaceful moments with Bridgeway suggest a possible new chapter, both personally and professionally.

Halle Bailey was photographed kissing a mystery man during a yacht outing in Italy—who, according to new reports, is no mystery in the music world. The man is a well-known music producer credited with producing three of Kendrick Lamar's top tracks, adding new context to Bailey's upgraded love life. The sighting comes amid Bailey's ongoing legal battle with her ex, rapper DDG, over custody of their son, Halo. In May, Bailey secured a restraining order against DDG after accusing him of physical assault during a January custody exchange.

DDG jokes about using fertility clinic to avoid drama
DDG has claimed he will have his next child via fertility treatment to "alleviate" against any potential issues. The 27-year-old online personality is currently locked in a bitter battle with former girlfriend Halle Bailey - with whom he has 18-month-old son Halo - and he's joked about using his wealth in order to fund having another baby with the intervention of medical specialists. During a livestream on Twitch, he said: 'If I'm 29 or something like that, and I ain't got the time… I'll just go to that little place, do my little one-two, put my s*** in a cup. Take a little egg from somebody, throw it in another little body. Cook that motherf***** up for nine months, ya know? You can do that type s*** when you got money. That'll alleviate a lot of s***.' Last month, DDG failed in a bid to secure a domestic violence restraining order against Halle The streamer had alleged the 25-year-old actress posed a risk to Halo and sought to prevent her from taking the little boy with her to Italy, where she had filming commitments. In response, the Little Mermaid star filed to deny DDG's request and asked for permission to take Halo out of the US, as well as requesting her former partner, his family and friends, stop posting about her, their son, and their court drama on all platforms. According to TMZ, the court sided with Halle. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE magazine and other outlets, DDG had accused his former partner of being an "an imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child based on repeated, documented threats of self-harm". He alleged that if Halo left the country, the child wouldn't have the protections of the court or any "emergency intervention mechanisms". DDG - whose real name is Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. - also claimed Halle has made "repeated threats of suicide and self-harm" and alleged she "routinely used emotional coercion and manipulation to exert her control over me, often threatening me by using self-harm or ending her life" during what has been referred to as an almost three year "on again/off again" relationship. DDG claimed she allegedly "threatened to end her life using my legally owned firearm" in 2023, as well as stalking him during their relationship, and physically and verbally abusing him. He wrote in the filing: "Given these threats to self-harm, I believe the Petitioner is a threat to our son's safety such that she should not be allowed to take Halo out of the country to Italy for a period of two months." In May, Halle was granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of Halo, along with a temporary restraining order which expired in line with a planned court hearing on June 4. She had accused DDG of domestic abuse, while previous court documents obtained by Page Six, saw her allege that she filed for sole custody without notifying DDG because she was "afraid that the violence would reoccur" and that "the other party would take the children out of the area".
