Singer and actress Halle Bailey seems to be officially done with her streamer ex-boyfriend. Bailey was spotted all booed up on a yacht, soaking up the warm weather in Italy with a mystery man.

“The Shade Room”, a celebrity news blogger, obtained pictures of the lovebirds as they were captured sharing a kiss and later diving into the water together.

According to reports, the mystery man is no stranger in the music industry.

He has been revealed by fans as Ruchaun Akers, professionally known as Scott Bridgeway, who is a renowned music producer who has worked with Kendrick Lamar, producing three of the rapper’s hit songs.

Bailey’s newfound love comes amid a heated ongoing custody battle between her and ex-boyfriend DDG, who is also the father of their 17-month-old son, Halo.

In May, “The Little Mermaid” actress filed for sole legal and physical custody, citing a history of abuse and concerns about DDG’s behaviour. Before filing for sole custody, she formally filed for a temporary restraining order against him.

Additionally, she requested the court to order DDG not to move with Halo without her written permission, surrender any travel documents, and provide detailed travel plans if they do travel together.

In response, DDG filed an emergency motion in June to block Bailey from taking their child abroad for a film project. 

DDG highlighted concerns regarding Bailey’s mental health and stability. He claimed that Bailey poses an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to their son, basing the claims on repeated and documented threats of self-harm.

Although he was granted a restraining order, Bailey was awarded temporary sole custody, allowing her trip to Italy to move forward.
