WHOOPS!
Fans initially thought Halle revealed her pregnancy earlier this month after a misprint appeared in a Glamour UK article about the star.
In the piece, Halle was : "Being a mom, being newly married - there's the positive side of it, but also the negative. I want to show that although things might look perfect from the exterior, that's not always the case."
Readers immediately rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to congratulate the Grown-ish star on her supposed baby news.
However, they soon realized that the quote was actually from 's recent interview with the magazine.
Glamour later removed the quote from Halle's article, avoiding further confusion.
PREGNANCY RUMORS
But rumors had been swirling long before about Halle and DDG, 23, expecting a child together.
They started earlier this year when fans suspected the TV star was trying to cover a baby bump in her baggier outfits.
Halle also raised eyebrows when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in a very loosely fitted orange dress that drowned her entire frame.
An insider at the event told : "Halle stayed away from the pink carpet so she would not be photographed, and when she was inside, she was very mindful in the way she gave hugs, and who she gave them to."
Another source pointed out that the singer's "orange dress flow was an indicator she was trying to hide."
"She would keep her distance when someone got too close, and she gave out more handshakes than her [usual] enduring embraces."
Ever since, fans have noticed Halle repeatedly hiding her stomach from cameras, fueling talk of a pregnancy.
HIDING SOMETHING?
In one social media photo, the Georgia native concealed her tummy with bags following a shopping spree.
And in another with her rapper beau, DDG - birth name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. - the couple's faces were only captured, being sure to leave Halle's figure out of the frame.
It follows the pair's trip to London, where they attended the Glamour Women of The Year Awards 2023.
Halle again drew suspicions as photos from the event showed her wearing a strapless, black velvet mini dress that featured a tutu-like waistline with white roses, appearing to hide her midsection.
The TV personality seemed unfazed by the comments to come about her ensemble, smiling on the red carpet and waving at fans upon leaving an afterparty.
SECRET WEDDING
On top of the baby rumors, fans have also speculated that Halle and DDG secretly tied the knot after the rap star dropped numerous clues in recent weeks.
