Singer and songwriter Halsey has suffered three miscarriages over the past several years - which was why her announcement of giving birth to a baby boy was greeted warmly by her fans.
In a post shared on Instagram, Halsey announced that she has given birth to her first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin.
“Gratitude. For the most ‘rare’ and euphoric birth. Powered by love,” she wrote alongside a photo of her holding her newborn baby boy with Aydin nearby. “Ender Ridley Aydin. 7/14/2021.”
The singer first revealed her pregnancy earlier this year with a Sam Dameshek-photographed maternity shoot.
They shared a beautiful, candid photo featuring the newborn baby, and boyfriend Alev Aydin, with their 25.2 million Instagram followers on July 19.
In the photo, they are lying on the bed with the little baby on their stomach, wrapped in blankets and a tiny striped hat while Aydin stares lovingly at the duo.
On January 27, Halsey announced that they were pregnant via an Instagram carousel, showing off their growing baby bump, dark-brown buzz cut, and green eye makeup.
Since their announcement, they have shared plenty of photos during their pregnancy — and even proved that a leopard bodycon dress can be perfect maternity wear.
Halsey has suffered three miscarriages over the past several years, partially due to suffering from severe endometriosis.
During their 2015 concert tour, the entertainer spoke about the loss they've experienced and how miscarrying affected her emotionally.
Her announcement comes ahead of the release of her highly-anticipated new album and IMAX film of the same name, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.
She previously released the cover art for the project, which features her on a throne with a child on her lap.
Halsey also briefly touched upon her relationship with Alex Aydin, whom she was good friends with for four years prior to becoming romantically involved. “Nobody knew I was dating someone,” she shared.
“As if people were entitled to an update, like, ‘I’ve met someone, we’re going on dates, it’s getting serious, they’ve moved in, we’re planning a child, we are having a baby, we had a baby, this is the gender….’ I signed up to give my whole life away; my loved ones didn’t.”
Halsey’s new album is produced by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the Academy Award-winning duo behind The Social Network score. The hour-long film and record are set to drop Aug. 27 via Capitol Records. (NP)
