Halle Bailey’s new man’s identity has reportedly been revealed as Scott Bridgeway, a music producer associated with Kendrick Lamar. The Little Mermaid actress was seen vacationing with him in Italy while on break from filming her next movie.
Photos posted by The Shade Room showed Halle on a yacht with the man now identified by fans as Ruchaun Akers, professionally known as Scott Bridgeway. The couple were seen swimming, snapping pictures, sharing kisses, and relaxing—appearing close and comfortable together.
Bridgeway, originally from Roanoke and raised in North Carolina, is a hip-hop producer with reported credits that include work with Kendrick Lamar on his album GNX, specifically for tracks "luther "peekaboo" and, "squabble up".
The timing of the sighting has drawn attention, as Halle is currently involved in an ongoing custody case with ex-boyfriend DDG over their son, Halo. In May, Halle was granted a restraining order after accusing DDG of domestic violence during a custody exchange. She alleged he left her with bruises and a chipped tooth.
Halle also accused him of unlawfully entering her home and continuing to harass her after their separation. Though DDG tried to block her from taking their son abroad for work, the court granted Halle temporary sole custody, allowing her to travel for filming.
The custody hearing is still pending. Meanwhile, DDG has remained vocal online, recently stating during a livestream that he would prefer using a fertility clinic for future children to avoid co-parenting.
While the legal proceedings continue, Halle’s peaceful moments with Bridgeway suggest a possible new chapter, both personally and professionally.
