For Halle Bailey, this summer will no doubt be remembered as anything but a day at the beach, but that’s just where she is right now, ahead of some big legal battles. The Little Mermaid actress recently enjoyed a sun-drenched PDA session with a mystery man out in Italy, setting tongues wagging with the public display of affection just weeks after an epic spat with ex-boyfriend DDG.
Bailey’s Italian getaway follows a turbulent few months. She was granted a restraining order against DDG, the father of her son Halo, in May amid shocking allegations of domestic violence. Bailey reportedly had bruises all over, as well as a chipped tooth, from the still-unconfirmed January attack. DDG struck back by filing a restraining order of his own and fought to prevent Bailey from taking their son out of the country for work.

Though there was legal wrangling, Bailey maintained temporary sole custody of Halo to proceed with summer filming overseas. However, based on the most recent photos obtained by The Shade Room, work isn’t the only thing on her mind. The snaps showed the actress looking cozy with an unidentified man, smiling, slouching, and seemingly loving life outside the courtroom.
Social media wasted no time buzzing with the images. Amidst the impassioned pleas for transparency, some fans speculated about the identity of Bailey’s new beau, while others cheered her decision to open her heart and find happiness and love amid the chaos. A kiss also serves as a statement, for a person like Bailey, who has been relatively low-key about her private life in the past few months, as she moves on. While the DDG custody battle is far from over, Halle Bailey’s Instagram Italian interlude is the latest evidence that she’s not letting the drama define her summer. Whether this dream man is the one or not, Bailey uncovers the peace of God, which she says she has long forgotten.
