Halle Bailey Shares Behind-The-Scenes Moments From Her Enchanting Underwater Maternity Photo Shoot

During the stunning photo shoot, the new mom resembled a real-life mermaid.

Although Halle Bailey has already given birth, she is sharing moments from her pregnancy, including an epic photo shoot.

On Monday (Jan. 15), "The Little Mermaid" star posted highlights from her underwater maternity photo shoot on Instagram, looking like Ariel from the 2023 blockbuster movie she starred in.

“🧜🏽‍♀️missing my belly already 💜but i obviously had to do underwater pics ,” the actor captioned the post.

The new mom resembled an ethereal goddess as she was captured hitting a series of poses in the water. She also had multiple costume changes, while rocking a flowy smock, in addition to a platinum two-piece set that featured a crop top and a matching skirt.

"In you hands/ In your hands/ The world is yours, when I'm in it/ In your hands/ In your hands/ You can't let go/ Or you'll lose your chance/ Because after me, you'll never fall in love again" sang Bailey in the video montage.

On Jan. 6, the first-time mom and dad, rapper DDG, announced they had welcomed their son, Halo.

“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo. The world is desperate to know you,” the parents posted on their separate accounts, along with a photo of Bailey's hand holding that of her son. The baby is also sporting a gold nameplate bracelet around his tiny wrist. A third hand anchors the two underneath and we can only speculate that it belongs to DDG.

Bailey kept most of her pregnancy under wraps, but fans have been speculating for months whether or not the R&B songstress was expecting her first child

Since welcoming the infant, the "I'm Geekin'" rapper has been geeking over his adorable baby boy, whom he recently said was "a beautiful baby."

“He’s a beautiful baby, and a healthy baby. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s all that really matters; that’s he’s healthy and able to live a great life, stress-free."
