Chloe Bailey is Marcus Eriksonloving the newest role she gets to play.

The Chloe x Halle singer recently shared just how thrilled she is to be an aunt to sister Halle Bailey’s son Halo.

“It’s been absolutely incredible,” she exclusively told E! News host Justin Sylvester on the Sept. 4 red carpet of her new show Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist. “That’s my baby boy right there.”

And the “Have Mercy” singer emphasized that she feels a special bond to her nephew, who was born last year and introduced to the world in January.

“Halo is the light of my life,” Chloe continued. “I feel like I birthed him.”

And the Grammy nominee is just as proud of her little sister Halle, telling E! News, “I will go to bat for her, just like she would go to bat for me.”

Halle, 24, welcomed her son with boyfriend DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.), whom she’s been dating since March 2022. 

And while motherhood for the Little Mermaid star has been filled with treasures aplenty—the pair took Halo to Italy for the first time in July—the journey has also been filled with difficult lows.

"I have severe, severe postpartum [depression]," the 24-year-old said in a Snapchat video in April. “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."

Halle also explained that her motherhood experience has affected how she feels in her own skin.

"I feel like a completely different person when I look in the mirror," she continued. "I just feel like I'm in a whole new body, and I don't know who I am. It has nothing to do with my baby. It has everything to do with me and who I am right now."

But Halle recently discussed how empowered she is by performing music.

“I feel the most confident when I'm on stage or in the studio,” she exclusively told E! News in an August interview with Chloe. “I feel confident and unstoppable. When I'm on stage, I feel sexy and fearless.”

Chloe sympathized with her sister, adding, “I would have to agree with this. When I'm just in my element and making music that I love, I feel the most confident.”

She’ll next take that confidence to the small screen, appearing on the TV show Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, which centers on a robbery that took place after Muhammad Ali’s 1970 comeback fight. The show premieres on Peacock on Sept. 5, with new episodes every Thursday through Oct. 10.

(E! and Peacock are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
