Halle Bailey has ditched veganism after indulging her pregnancy craving for meat.
‘The Little Mermaid’ actress, 24, had her first child – a son named Halo – with her rapper and vlogger husband DDG, 26, in January and has now told fans about the major change she made to her diet while expecting her boy, while admitting she now hasn’t gone back to being fully vegan.
She said in an Instagram Live chat that showed her eating with her eight-month-old baby in the background when followers asked if she was still vegan: “And the answer is: not anymore. And the reason being is, I think I told some of you guys that when I was pregnant, I had just, like, started craving meat.”
Halle, who had been vegan for 13 years and when she started craving meat, added: “I was just like, ‘Well, I’m gonna give my body what it wants right now because I’m doing a really hard job of growing a human, and I also wanted to make sure Halo was getting the proper nutrients and things he needed.’
“If I have an inkling or craving for chicken or something, I’ll eat it. But I don’t eat a lot of meat.
“But it’s like if I want it, I’m gonna have it and then that’s it.”
Halle also stressed it was not abnormal for vegans to break away from their diet habits while pregnant.
She said: “I was looking it up and I see so many women like me who were vegan for years and years.
“Once they got pregnant, it was, like, out the window.”
