Halle Bailey and her new summer fling were caught by paparazzi while the two were spending intimate time on a yacht.

The actress-singer, who's filming a new project in Italy, was spotted spending time with the mystery man in a carousel posted by The Shade Room on Tuesday (July 1). Photos show Bailey taking a dip in the water while her beau looks on, the couple sharing a kiss and even swimming together before the "Braveface" artist poses for pictures on the yacht deck.

Bailey hasn't formally announced that she's in a new relationship, but one can guess that she's moved on from her ex-boyfriend, DDG, amid their custody battle over their 18-month-old son, Halo. Over the last month, domestic violence allegations have flown between the co-parents, with the streamer and rapper initially trying to legally prevent Bailey from taking Halo out of the country. The motion was denied, although DDG was granted the ability to spend time with their son in the country during supervised visits.

Among the most shocking claims that Bailey made was that DDG assaulted her in the presence of their son in a car, where her head was slammed on the steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth. Months after their breakup, Bailey also alleged that DDG entered her home without permission, took pictures of her bedroom and accused her of being with another man.

As their custody dispute continues, DDG recently shared during a livestream that he'd prefer to go to a fertility clinic to have another child in order to avoid co-parenting again.
