Halle Bailey's Romantic Yacht Ride: Nearly a Wardrobe Malfunction!

The singer, 25, narrowly avoided her bikini bottoms sliding down during her impromptu photo shoot

SCANDALOUS ROMANCE ALERT!

Singer Halle Bailey, 25, is making waves on the high seas with her new beau, music producer Scott Bridgeway, in a romance that's got everyone talking!

The six-time Grammy nominee was spotted posing up a storm on a yacht off the coast of Italy with her dashing partner-in-crime, who just so happened to be behind the camera lens. But what could have been a wardrobe malfunction turned into a daring display of confidence and sass as Bailey showed off her curves in a teeny-tiny string bikini.

After the near-mishap, the star went on to enjoy some quality time with music producer, Scott Bridgeway, the acclaimed producer behind Kendrick Lamar¿s hits

Sources close to the couple revealed that Bridgeway, 27, has been working his magic on Bailey's new solo album, with insiders claiming they're "totally smitten" with each other. And we can't blame them - who wouldn't fall head over heels for this stunning pair?

But what you might not know is that this whirlwind romance comes on the heels of a very public breakup from rapper DDG, 27, whom Bailey had been dating since January 2022. The couple's relationship was put to the test when Bailey accused DDG of physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse in court documents obtained by TheScholarlyNote.com.

Bailey claimed that DDG repeatedly called her a "b**ch" while she was trying to buckle their baby boy, Halo, 1, into his car seat. She alleged that things got violent when they fought over the steering wheel, with DDG allegedly slamming her face onto it and chipping one of her teeth.

The happy couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as they shared a steamy kiss and cuddled while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea

A judge later granted Bailey a restraining order against DDG, citing "ongoing domestic violence" and "emotional manipulation." Ouch!

But don't worry, folks - Bailey seems to be taking all this drama in stride. She's been spotted enjoying quality time with Bridgeway on their Mediterranean getaway, where they even shared a steamy kiss and cuddled while overlooking the breathtaking ocean views.

And it looks like Bridgeway is just as smitten! The music producer has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. He's also collaborated with other artists on tracks like "Squabble Up" and "Take Off Your Dress."

At one point, the mother-of-one dove straight into the ocean, without hesitation, as Bridgeway took a video on his phone

But what really caught our attention was that this romance marks Bailey's first public relationship since her breakup from DDG. And let's be real - she's already moved on in style!

In an exclusive interview with Essence, Bailey opened up about how they met, revealing that DDG reached out to her after seeing one of her songs. "I completely forgot about him," she confessed. "But then I saw that he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally, he messaged me - and the rest is history."

It looks like Bailey has finally found someone who appreciates her for who she is - flaws and all! And we can't wait to see what's next for these two lovebirds.

This marks Bailey's first public romance since calling it quits with rapper, DDG, 27, last October

UPDATE: Sources close to the couple revealed that Bridgeway is already working on new music with Bailey, and insiders claim they're "totally smitten" with each other. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy romance!
