Halle Bailey says her 2 year old son, Halo, has a great ear for music, and she trusts it. Speaking with People at GQ’s Men of the Year party in Los Angeles, the 26 year old singer and actress said Halo loves old school songs, is musically gifted and smart, and lets her know when he hears a song he likes.
When Halo says a track is good, Halle said, she takes that as a sign of approval. She even runs her own music by him, including songs from her recent project, love? or something like it.
Why does Halle Bailey say Halo is so musical?
She credits the people around him. Halle said music is everywhere in Halo’s life, and he spends time with her sister, Chlöe Bailey, whom she called a genius. Between her friends and family, she said, they are simply a musical family, and it has been fun to watch that rub off on him.
The timing is fitting. Chlöe released her holiday EP, A Chlöe Christmas, the day after the GQ party, giving her nephew one more project to review.
Has Halo always loved music?
It appears so. When Halo was just 11 months old, Halle posted a video on Instagram of him staring wide eyed as she warmed up on her song In Your Hands. He reached for her microphone, and she captioned the clip simply by saying he loves music.
How has motherhood changed Halle Bailey?
Halle has said becoming a mom made her feel truly grown and more confident in her own voice. She has described watching her son go from growing inside her to running around as his own little person as surreal, and she said she cries every day because she is so obsessed with him.
Who helps Halle Bailey raise Halo?
Halle welcomed Halo in December 2023 with her ex, rapper and streamer DDG, and she kept her pregnancy private until after his birth. She later said she did that to protect her son and her joy. The two have since split, and a Los Angeles judge granted Halle a restraining order after she accused DDG of abuse, according to The Blast.
Now raising Halo as a single mom, Halle leans on what she calls her village, including Chlöe and the women in her life. She said nobody does it alone and that it truly is a village job, especially while juggling a career. She added that women can do it all and should give themselves more credit.
That idea runs deep in Black families, where grandmothers, aunties, sisters and friends have long stepped in to raise children together. For Halo, that village also happens to be full of world class voices.
What did Halle Bailey wear to GQ Men of the Year?
Halle turned heads at the Chateau Marmont party in a croc leather look by Black designer Sergio Hudson. She joined a lineup of Black women stars that night, including Angel Reese, Tracee Ellis Ross and Ayo Edebiri.
Halle has already proven she can sing to millions. Whether Halo grows into a star or simply stays her most honest critic, he clearly already has the ear for it.
