On January 6, 2024, Halle Bailey announced the birth of her first son, Halo. She and DDG quietly welcomed him on December 22, 2023. That year was one of the busiest for the singer and actress. She has continued back-to-back projects in the film industry since.
While taking to Snapchat, Bailey admitted that her busy work life and mom life have interrupted her fitness life. Upon posting photos of herself on vacation in a bathing suit, with the caption, “Mom Bod,” Bailey told fans about the weight gain insecurity that she’s overcoming. She began:
“Right now, currently, I am a little bit thicker than I usually am. And I don’t really know— I feel really secure about it, a little bit. Because all my life, I have been, like, 120 pounds, really skinny. And then I had my baby. And then when I was breastfeeding, I lost a bunch of weight.”

Bailey continued to recall her weight fluctuating during her pregnancy and postpartum. She said:
“So, I felt like my body sort of snapped back to where I thought I did at the time, but it was still very off. Now that I’m 25, I just feel like, ‘Oh, the weight is sticking more. Okay.’ I haven’t had a lot of time—this is my first time taking a break. Like, being on this vacation with my sister, this is my first time I’m like taking a break. I was filming every day and being a mom to Halo every day. I didn’t have time anywhere between being on set and being with Halo to workout. So, I’m a little fluffy right now because I kind of fell off with my consistent workouts. But, I do feel a little insecure about it.”
Halle Bailey continued to tell fans about a video she had her sister, Chlöe Bailey, pull from TikTok. She explained:
“Yesterday, me and Chlöe, we were on the beach and we made a fun TikTok and I got a little bit insecure about it after. So, I had texted her and asked her, ‘Hey, can you just take it down because I feel really bad about my body.’ Some people are asking, ‘Why is it deleted?’ It’s because of me. I was insecure about it and what people were saying about my body. I don’t know. I get in my head about stuff like that.”
Despite her insecurity, Bailey told fans that she’s opting to overcome it. She boasted:
“But then, today, I’m like, ‘I’m going to feel better about myself.’ I’m not going to be too hard on myself because I’ve been working on a really cool f**king job that I just finished. Guys, I had a really great experience in New York. Now, I’m on vacation with my sister, and we’re celebrating, and we’re with my baby, and we’re having a good time. I’m not going to be so hard on myself. So, my message for today that I’m telling myself, ‘Enjoy the moment. Not be too hard on yourself and let yourself live a little and have some fun.’”
