American singer Chloe Bailey has defended her sister Halle Bailey amidst rumors of her pregnancy circulating on social media. As per media outlet Hot New Whip Hop, the 25-year-old held an Instagram Live session over the weekend and addressed the pregnancy rumors surrounding her 23-year-old sister.
“Y’all better keep my sister’s name out your mouth. Thank you. Amen, hallelujah. ‘Bout to get me riled the hell up. Anyways…”
Then an anonymous person in the background said that they “don’t play about Halle,” to which Chloe Bailey added:
"No, like, what the heck? Period.”
The rumors about Halle Bailey’s alleged pregnancy started circulating on social media handles after the news outlet Media Take Out published a report on August 19 citing three sources from the entertainment industry who speculated that The Little Mermaid star was expecting.
