Kenya, April 9 -- American singer and actress Chloe Bailey has been making headlines this week during her high-profile visit to South Africa. The 26-year-old star, known for her work with the duo Chloe x Halle and her solo hit "Have Mercy", was photographed enjoying the country's natural beauty while on a break from filming an undisclosed project in Cape Town.
Bailey, who arrived in South Africa earlier this month, shared stunning photos with her millions of social media followers.
In one post, she captioned, "Sittin' on top of the world, making sure I'm grounded in nature anytime I can find a moment in between filming."
The images, which show her atop mountains, on safari drives, and mingling with penguins, have generated excitement among fans and locals alike.
Her visit has also highlighted South Africa's growing appeal as a destination for international celebrities.
While details about her current film project are not yet available, Bailey's time in Cape Town follows a busy year that included a nomination for the 2025 NAACP Image Awards in the "Outstanding Music Video/Visual Album" category for her song "Boy Bye".
The multi-talented artist, who has also starred in "Grown-ish" and "Praise This", has kept fans guessing about her next steps, with some speculating that her trip to South Africa may be related to a new creative venture.
This trip comes amid ongoing rumours about her personal life, including whispers of a romance with Nigerian artist Burna Boy, after the two were spotted together in Lagos late last year.
Bailey has remained tight-lipped about the speculation, choosing to focus on her work and travels.
Her South African adventure has already left an impression, with local media dubbing her an honorary "Mzansi" star.
As Bailey continues to balance her music, acting, and globetrotting, her fans eagerly await updates on her mysterious project and what 2025 has in store for this rising star.
