Halsey Announces She's Pregnant: Singer's Boyfriend Becomes Hot Topic On Social Media

American singer Halsey announced Wednesday that she is pregnant with her first child. The news comes as the 26-year-old has been mum about her romantic relationships.

Halsey, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, revealed the pregnancy news on Instagram, expecting her first “mini human.” She captioned "surprise!" to a picture of herself to her nearly 23 million followers.

The "Bad at Love" singer has previously stated in interviews that she wanted to be a mom. In 2015, she suffered a miscarriage.

The trio of photos Halsey posted showed her wearing a rainbow top in one of them, and she also added a rainbow in the caption, giving hint that this is her "rainbow baby," which means a healthy baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death.

In the photo, she tagged her screenwriter boyfriend Alev Aydin. The couple had kept their relationship quiet, as both had not posted on each other's social media platforms until the pregnancy announcement.

Aydin, who is credited with independent projects, commented on the photo, “Heart so full, I love you, sweetness.”

“I love you!!!!! And I love this mini human already!” Halsey replied to his comment.

The couple was photographed together a few months ago and have been friends for the past few years, US Weekly reports. It has not been confirmed that Aydin is the father.

In recent years, Halsey has been linked to English singer Yungblud, American actor Evan Peters, and American rapper G-Eazy.

Halsey's song, “More,” is about her reproductive health struggles, she explains in the album notes on Apple Music for “Maniac.” She also explained her struggles with mental health during the creation of her album.

She has suffered from Endometriosis and has talked about freezing her eggs, so becoming a mother and having a family now is very special to her, according to People magazine.

In a profile by the Guardian, Halsey discussed taking her own life.

“There’s been a lot of times where I’ve thought: ‘If I keep doing this I’m gonna die.’ Other times I think: ‘But if I’m alive and I’m not doing this I might as well be dead.’ This is all I’ve known for the past five years. I hope the world gets more sensitive to that. I don’t think it will," she told the Guardian in February 2020.
