The red carpet provided a rare public look at DaBaby and DaniLeigh at the same event, though the reason for their presence was clear. Their 5-year-old daughter, Velour, was the focus of Thursday’s Rookie Kids Runway on Broadway event in New York, with both parents attending to support her while keeping their appearances separate.
BCK Online reported that Velour took individual red carpet photos with DaBaby and DaniLeigh at Macy’s Herald Square. The former couple did not pose together. Velour sported a black-and-white outfit paired with heart-shaped sunglasses and a basketball-themed handbag as she posed for photos with each of her parents.
The same approach was seen when Velour graduated from preschool in 2025. Both parents celebrated the milestone as she prepared to move on to “big kid school.” They have also celebrated Velour’s birthdays and other special occasions separately while continuing to be involved in her life.
Their current co-parenting arrangement comes after a much more contentious public history. DaBaby and DaniLeigh’s relationship ended in 2021 following an argument at his home that unfolded on Instagram Live. Rolling Stone reported at the time that police responded to two incidents, and DaniLeigh was charged with two counts of simple assault after DaBaby told officers she had assaulted him. Much of the dispute played out publicly while their daughter was still an infant.
Years later, their Fashion Week appearance presented a very different picture. Neither indicated a romantic reunion, and they did not pose together as a couple for the cameras. Instead, both parents appeared at the event separately, continuing their pattern of putting their past differences aside to be there for their daughter.
