Halle Bailey & DDG End Bitter Custody Battle Over Son Halo, Drop Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

After months of legal back‑and‑forth and public allegations, Halle Bailey and DDG have taken a major step toward co‑parenting peace. According to court documents filed this week, the former couple have dropped their domestic violence restraining‑order requests against one another and agreed on a temporary custody arrangement for their one‑year‑old son, Halo. 

What the agreement involves

• The stipulation, signed by both parties and approved by a judge, dismisses each of their requests for domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) while preserving the right to re‑file if future incidents occur.  
• The custody arrangement gives DDG custody on Wednesdays and certain weekends, while Halle retains custody the other days. They also worked out a holiday schedule starting with Halloween.  
• A “no‑public‑disparagement” clause is included: both agree not to post negative commentary about each other nor share images of Halo on social media, a key point of contention earlier.  

Why this development is important

• The move shifts the narrative from a highly publicized legal battle — including DV claims, custody conflicts, and social‑media warfare — to a cooperative co‑parenting framework.
• While the DVROs have been dropped, the agreement preserves the right to resurrect those claims, signalling both parties remain cautious and legally protected.
• For Halo, the one‑year‑old child of both, the fact that both parents have committed to a structured arrangement and boundaries may lead to a more stable environment.

What to watch next

• Whether this temporary schedule becomes a formal long‑term parenting plan, and how custody will evolve over the next two‑three years.
• How Halle and DDG manage public appearances, social‐media behavior, and brand engagements while co‑parenting under scrutiny.
• Whether any future legal filings will modify or replace the current arrangement, especially if either parent seeks changes.
• Reactions from fans and the entertainment industry as both artists move ahead with their careers while parenting in the public eye.
