Halle made sure to keep her front profile hidden in the music video and made no mention of the pregnancy speculation.
Last month, fans reached fever pitch when they went into overdrive sharing their thoughts on pregnancy rumors following her around.
They concluded that she is expecting her first child with rapper beau DDG.
The renewed rumors came about when she was spotted outside in Santa Monica with 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 upset 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.
