In a February 2026 interview on HOT 97's "Mornings With Mero," DaBaby opened up about parenthood, stating, "I got four beautiful kids, and nieces and nephews. I got people that look up to me and see a superhero." Despite his fame, DaBaby has largely kept his children's lives private, though some details about their names, ages, and mothers are publicly known.

MeMe and DaBaby had an on-and-off relationship that ended amid cheating allegations. In February 2020, MeMe exposed text messages showing DaBaby had gotten another woman pregnant. DaBaby responded on Instagram Stories, claiming he and MeMe were not together when the child was conceived. Despite their split, they remain friends, and DaBaby continues to support Caleb and Serenity.

DaniLeigh, born Danielle Leigh Curiel, is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. She and DaBaby have a daughter named Velour, born on August 11, 2021 (age 4 in 2025). Their relationship became public after DaBaby featured her in his music video "Levi High." They denied rumors initially but were later seen together. In 2021, DaniLeigh announced she was "officially single." The couple had a domestic dispute in November 2021, leading DaBaby to call the police. DaniLeigh later took him to court over the incident.
DaBaby's Legal Issues Involving DaniLeigh's Brother
In August 2024, DaniLeigh's brother, Brandon, sued DaBaby for over $4 million in damages, alleging an assault at a bowling alley in Southern California in 2022. Brandon claimed DaBaby attacked him without provocation, causing severe injuries and psychological damage. A video showed the two fighting on the bowling lanes, with others joining in. The fight occurred months after DaBaby and DaniLeigh's public breakup. At the same time, DaBaby faced another lawsuit from Gary Pagar, who alleged DaBaby punched him in the face during a confrontation at a rented home where DaBaby was filming a music video with over 40 people, violating an agreement. DaBaby was charged with felony battery but reached a plea deal, paying a $10,000 fine, staying away from the victim, and surrendering his guns for one year. The civil case was paused pending resolution of the criminal case.
