Halle Bailey hides her front profile as she poses for racy snaps in a skimpy blue bikini after speculation she is expecting her first child

Halle Bailey made sure to keep her front profile under wraps amid pregnancy speculation as she posed for racy Instagram snaps in a blue bikini on Sunday.

The Little Mermaid star, 23, posed for photos in the crystal clear water showing off her toned bum and slender back, rather than her stomach.

Fans concluded that she is expecting her first child with rapper beau DDG after she was spotted wearing an oversized sweatshirt that appeared to hide her bump.

The actress continued to fuel speculation as she even covered a glimpse of her torso with her arm in the snaps.

Halle let her braided brunette locks fall loosely behind her and accessorized her beachwear with stunning gold earrings and a body chain.

The beauty simply captioned her post: “Dreams wide awake.”

Last month, fans reached fever pitch when they went into overdrive sharing their thoughts on pregnancy rumors following her around.

The renewed rumors came about when she was spotted outside in Santa Monica with her boyfriend DDG (real name: Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.).

The singer-turned-actress was spotted wearing a particularly baggy gray hoodie during the outing, which some fans thought gave away the outline of a bump.

It was the latest in a series of outfits that obscured her figure and led to a wave of fan posts that both condemned her for her alleged pregnancy and defended her.

Halle was also pictured walking on a public sidewalk with DDG by her side and his arm lovingly on her back.

The live-action Little Mermaid remake star wore a gray graphic hoodie that fit loosely around her but tightened around her waist, appearing to show a raised area where her stomach was.

She rolled up one sleeve, revealing a cotton ball taped to the crook of her arm, where she had either had a blood draw or some kind of injection.

Notably, DDG had the same bandaged spot on both of his arms, although one of Halle’s arms was covered by her extended sleeve.

In September, fans on social media argued over whether Halle was pregnant, although her more restrictive outfit and slim waist shut down some of the loudest posters.

The latest round of rumors and speculation not only involved people debating whether or not Halle was pregnant, but also other fans voicing their opinions on the impact of a possible pregnancy on her career.

Several fans seemed particularly angry that her boyfriend DDG may have been the father of her alleged child, with some users on Twitter (recently renamed X) calling him a “bum.”

While some fans lashed out at her perceived lost potential due to a young pregnancy, others slammed those same fans for their judgmental posts.

While some fans rudely called her boyfriend a bum, others defended him. One post claimed he had “outed his family with a YouTube channel.”

Others reminded more judgmental fans that even if Halle was pregnant, it wouldn’t deprive her of opportunities.

“If Halle Bailey is pregnant, the show doesn’t stop. She’s still Halle, still booked and still as gifted as they come. It’s not 1968 guys lol relax,” one fan wrote.
