The host then listed the number of celebrities that Rosé took photos with who ended up having breakups, including Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, Florence Pugh and Zach Graff, and Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker. These are just a few famous examples.
Now, American actress and singer Halle Bailey and American YouTuber and rapper DDG have reportedly broken up after three years of dating and less than a year since the birth of their first child, son Halo.

The post garnered 1.1M views at the time of writing. Netizens were shocked to “discover” Hanni and Rosé had been in the same frame.
Yet, it’s not a real photo. It’s edited.
Hanni and Halle really did meet and pose together at the Gucci fashion show in Milan in 2023.
