“The Little Mermaid” star Halle Bailey has opened up about her struggles with navigating new motherhood.
After welcoming her first child with boyfriend DDG in January, Halle Bailey has opened up about her struggles with motherhood. She revealed in a video reshared by a fan account on Instagram,
“I have severe, severe postpartum [depression] . I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out.”
She also revealed that she’s been trying to adjust to her new body, saying,
“The only thing that’s been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. I feel like a completely different person when I look in the mirror. I just feel like I’m in a whole new body, and I don’t know who I am.”
She shared that she had no idea how much of a struggle it would be until she became a mom. Halle said her mental health problems also have nothing to do with her child.
“It has nothing to do with my baby. It has everything to do with me and who I am right now.”
