Just three months after giving birth, actress and singer Halle Bailey is showing off her post-pregnancy body in a major way. No muumuus or saggy sweats for her. On April 8, The Little Mermaid star posted a series of selfies on Instagram wearing a nude-colored bikini. And the pictures, which have received nearly 750,000 likes so far, proved her snapback is serious.

The 24-year-old drew some boos during her pregnancy from critics who questioned her choice to keep her pregnancy under wraps – a decision she defended at the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards Ceremony in March.
“There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone. Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that,” Bailey said. “With the state of the world and the place it is in with men trying to force their will on our bodies, no one on social media, and for d–n sure, no one on the planet was going to tell me what to do with my body or what to share with the world.”
But now, fans can’t stop talking about how Bailey managed to get her beach body back so quickly.
“The after baby body is Bodying!!! 😍,” “Sexy Mama!” and “Okay Ms.mermaid out here eating👏👏.” were just a few of the congratulatory comments fans left on her post.
Bailey’s pics even got a little love from some celebrity friends, including sister Chloe, Gabrielle Union, and Keke Palmer who wrote, “The mom bod always hits IJS 🤷🏾♀️.”
Bailey and her partner, rapper and YouTuber DDG, shared the news of the birth of their son Halo in a January 7 Instagram post. The sweet photo of her holding the newborn’s hand was captioned, “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 😉🤣♥️.”
