Now that Halle Bailey and her boyfriend, DDG, have revealed that they welcomed their first child together sometime in 2023, his April Fools’ Day pregnancy announcement is going viral.

“can’t wait to be your dad 😭😭❤️,” the rapper, 26, tweeted on April 1 alongside a sonogram that showed a fetus appearing to be between 8 and 10 weeks along.

At the time, fans doubted the authenticity of the post, with many commenting things like, “We get it because it’s April fools but babies and faking a pregnancy isn’t cute” and “This is the oldest and worst April fools prank. Surprised you never got the memo that this isn’t funny.”

Others argued that the “Little Mermaid” star, 23, would “never let a boy like you ruin her million dollar career.”

“april fools cause you won’t trap halle,” someone else added, while another netizen remarked, “Halle might be with you rn but she’ll never ever give you a child baby bro.”
