Halle Bailey made her relationship official in a very public way, stepping onto the red carpet with producer Scott Bridgeway at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards 2026 in Los Angeles on April 30.
The singer and actress arrived in a sleek black look, joining Bridgeway as he celebrated a major milestone in his career. The appearance confirmed what fans had been piecing together for months, turning what was once a “mystery boo” into a red carpet moment.
The night was also a professional win for Bridgeway. The producer, born Ruchaun Akers in Roanoke, Virginia, and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, was honored for his work on songs performed by Kendrick Lamar. His contributions to “Squabble Up” and “Luther” earned recognition among the most-performed songs of the year, adding to a résumé that includes collaborations with Kanye West, Baby Keem, Migos, Fivio Foreign, and Halle’s sister Chlöe Bailey. His catalog also includes Grammy-winning records such as “Luther,” “Squabble Up,” and “Peekaboo.”
Halle’s public show of support comes months after the pair were first spotted together overseas. Last summer, while filming You, Me & Tuscany in Positano, she was seen spending time on a yacht with a man fans later identified as Bridgeway. Photos that circulated online captured the two sharing relaxed moments, including a kiss and quiet time under the sun, with Bridgeway smiling beside her.
Since then, interest in the relationship has continued to build. A recent clip shared on X showed the couple standing side by side at the awards, with viewers noting how comfortable and happy Halle looked. The red carpet appearance now puts a clear label on their relationship, moving it from speculation to confirmation.
The ASCAP Pop Music Awards, which recognize the most-performed songs of the year, brought together some of the industry’s top creators.
