Halle Bailey has been in the media recently following custody battles with her ex-boyfriend DDG, but she has now been pictured with a new man, who fans suspect is Scott Bridgeway.

Halle Bailey, the actress and singer, has been spotted with a new man on vacation in Italy, who fans are identifying as Kendrick Lamar’s producer, Scott Bridgeway, amid abuse allegations against her ex-partner and baby daddy, DDG.

The ex-couple has been making headlines over the past few months following their split back in October 2024, surrounding their custody battle for their son, Halo.

The actress has been in Italy since the beginning of June, shooting her latest project, ‘Italianna’, in Rome.

It is here where she was papp’d off the coast on a yacht with her initially mysterious boyfriend, now identified as Scott.

In the pictures, the pair can be seen giggling, kissing, and her man proudly taking pics of the gorgeous star in her metallic bikini.

Back in May, The Little Mermaid star was granted a restraining order from the streamer and temporary sole custody of their child, following on from the abuse allegations.

DDG responded to these allegations with his own in June and was granted a temporary restraining order, but his custody request was denied. He has recently been granted supervised visitation rights to see Halo in Italy, whilst Halle is working.

Who is Halle Bailey’s new boyfriend, Scott Bridgeway?

Scott Bridgeway, whose real name is Ruchan Akers, is an award-winning producer, having worked with Kendrick on his latest album ‘GNX’.

The musical talent is best known for his work on Grammy-winning songs ‘squabble up’, ‘luther’ and ‘peekaboo’, as well as working with other music icons such as Baby Keem, Migos, and Fivio Foreign.

Scott is a very private person, rarely posting to his social media, which fans were quick to point out the polarity from Halle’s ex, DDG, who has been banned from posting about her and Halo, because of his heightened social media presence.

He is originally from Charlotte in North Carolina, where the ‘Do It’ singer was spotted at Kendrick’s concert way back on the 4th May, which some fans are suggesting is evidence that the new couple have been seeing each other for a while.

Fans are overjoyed that Halle seems to be happy, following the months of polarising stories.

One fan commented: “Omg I love that he's taking pictures of her and seems to actually enjoy doing so, they look cute together.”

Another said: “It’s what she deserves.💅🏼 I’m sincerely wishing for her only peace and happiness.”

Whilst neither Halle nor Scott has confirmed the rumours, fans are pretty certain the pair is the newest hottest couple on the scene.
