"You want me to cry": Wholesome memes erupt as Halle Bailey shares video of son Halo reacting to mother being 'Little Mermaid'

Parents being proud of you is the biggest flex. But what is the ultimate flex? Having your kids be proud of you. Halle Bailey had one such moment recently when her one-year-old son, Halo, recognized her as Ariel on TV. It was the sweetest moment caught on camera and was just more proof that no matter who you are, your baby will always see you as their mama.

Halle Bailey is an American actress who is known for playing the Disney princess Ariel in the 2023 live-action film The Little Mermaid.

Halle Bailey recently shared a video of her little twin, Halo, flexing his abs while trying to treat some patients with his doctor's set. While playing, he looks at the TV and happily shouts 'Mama' when Bailey turns the camera towards the screen to reveal 'The Little Mermaid' playing on TV.

The second Halo saw Halle on screen, he instantly smiled as he recognized her. That's the purest form of love that you can find anywhere. A one-year-old who doesn't know anything beyond poop and milk right now can recognize his mama, even if she has a fish's tail.

Halle Bailey also seemed ecstatic on seeing her little boy gleam with joy on recognizing her. You could hear the happiness in her voice when Halo smiled on seeing her. She sounded like she had accepted the role for this particular day. It looked like this meant more to her than a thousand fans recognizing her.

She uploaded the video with the caption:

'Guys I'm crying he actually knows ariel is me"

Here are some hilariously wholesome comments written by some teary-eyed fans.
