Halle Bailey is opening up about her special plans for Christmas this year, and it’s all about family and her 11-month-old son, Halo. The 24-year-old Little Mermaid star recently appeared alongside her sister, Chloe Bailey, on Today with Hoda & Jenna, where the two discussed their roles as global ambassadors for Pandora.
As the conversation turned to Christmas, Halle couldn’t help but share her excitement about celebrating the holiday with Halo. “We’ll be home in L.A.,” Halle revealed. “Lots of food, lots of gifts, and lots of things for Halo. It’s going to be his Christmas.”
Chloe eagerly chimed in, adding, “His first official Christmas!” This marks a special milestone for the Bailey family, with little Halo’s first Christmas celebration becoming the center of their holiday joy.
The transition into motherhood has not been without its challenges, as Halle has openly discussed the struggles of balancing work and family life. In October, the actress shared a vulnerable moment on Snapchat, posting a photo of herself looking somber on a plane. “Flying tonight to be somewhere for one day but having crippling anxiety without my son,” she wrote, expressing her emotional struggle of being away from her newborn.
“Any advice for moms who still can’t handle when they have to leave for work?” Halle asked her followers, reaching out to other mothers for support and guidance as she navigates the balance of career and motherhood.
Earlier that same month, Halle’s ex-boyfriend, rapper DDG, confirmed that the two had separated but would continue to co-parent Halo, prioritizing their roles as parents while focusing on their individual journeys. Despite the breakup, both Halle and DDG remain committed to providing the best for their son, and the holiday season promises to bring a special family moment.
This Christmas, Halle’s heart is full, and with little Halo celebrating his first Christmas, it’s sure to be a joyful time for the Bailey family.
