Everything Halsey Has Said About Having Kids Over the Years

A long time coming! Halsey has been very vocal about their future family plans prior to their January 2021 pregnancy announcement. The singer debuted their baby bump in an Instagram slideshow captioned, “Surprise.” The New Jersey native wore a crochet top and unbuttoned jeans in the maternity shoot pics, tagging their boyfriend, Alev Aydin, on their bare stomach. “Heart so full,” the screenwriter commented on the social media upload at the time. “I love you, sweetness.” The pregnant star replied, “I love you!! And I love this mini human already!” Halsey and the producer have been friends for years, and Aydin shared a throwback photo in March 2019 of them at a Los Angeles Lakers game. “Back when I did a very cool thing I'll prob never get to do again,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “Massive thanks @iamhalsey for the courtside experience. Only ones not on our phones, actually watching the game.” The Grammy winner was dating singer Yungblud at the time. While it is not known when Halsey began seeing Aydin, the pair were spotted wearing matching disposable face masks and picking up Blick art supplies in October 2020. Halsey previously dated rapper G-Eazy on and off from 2017 to 2018 and was in a brief relationship with American Horror Story star Evan Peters the following year. The songwriter has released many singles about their exes, but 2020's “More" was a tribute to the child they wished to have. “They told me it’s useless, there’s no hope in store / But somehow I just want you more,” Halsey sang. “Feeling so incomplete / Wonder will we ever meet? / And would you know it right away / How hard I try to see your face?” The American Music Award winner concluded, “And when you decide it’s your time to arrive / I’ve loved you for all of my life / And nothing could stop me from giving a try.” Halsey referenced their previous miscarriages and endometriosis struggles in the song, which they told The Guardian in February 2020 made them feel “the most inadequate.” The I Would Leave Me If I Could author explained, “Here I am achieving this out-of-control life, and I can’t do the one thing I’m biologically put on this earth to do.” Nearly two years after welcoming son Ender, the performer filed for full physical custody in April 2023.

Though the singer admitted they "got dressed so fast" for the Sing 2 premiere after a spit-up incident with baby Ender, the Grammy nominee was still thrilled to be experiencing the joys of being a mom. “I love it so much," they told Extra of motherhood. "Every single second is the most incredible thing. Getting to watch him, like, become a new person every day is so exciting.”

The "Without Me" musician added that it had been hard to manage their career while caring for a little one. "It’s definitely difficult to find balance," Halsey explained. "I think that’s a common thing working moms share no matter what your job is. I want to work really hard so he’s proud of me, but I also want to spend every single second cuddling him.”

Halsey “tried very hard” to conceive, they told Allure, explaining, "Alev and I have been really good friends for four years. And when the stars aligned, our relationship became romantic and it was pretty evident that he and I were both like, 'Oh, my gosh! You're the person I'm supposed to start a family with.’ A lot of people had opinions about that.”

"Why is it OK to speculate and pass judgment about fertility and conception?” Halsey wrote on her Instagram Story. "My pregnancy was 100 percent planned, and I tried very hard for my bb. But I would be happy even if it were another way.”

"Approaching that 30 benchmark, it’s like, ‘OK, what do I want to accomplish in my career? And [don't I] want to start a family?’” Halsey told Byrdie. "People are going to be like, ‘She cares so much about her career, she's going to die alone.’ Or if you decide to get married or start a family, people are like, ‘She really could have been something if she would have just focused on her career.’ Everyone has a specific opinion about what you do by the time you hit a certain age. Now there's the added pressure of having years taken from you, right? Like, ‘Oh, man. I'm not winning.’ So if you're not gonna win, you might as well just do whatever the f--k you want.”

"Once my tour is over, I feel like anything could happen. I could decide I want to move to Italy for a year and write. I could get pregnant,” she told Marie Claire. “I finally have enough stability in my career where I can take a breath. I feel like I can let life happen."

Halsey later tweeted, "I could also visit the moon or relocate to a remote island. It was a hyperbole packed in a sentence full of other 'I could's that imply the possibilities are endless. Don’t worry. The only baby I’m making is my next album!!!!!"

During an appearance on The Doctors, Halsey said she was freezing her eggs at age 23. "Doing ovarian reserve is important for me, because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, and I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility [and] about protecting myself," she explained. "Reproductive illness is so frustrating because it can really make you feel like less of a woman. You don’t feel sexy, you don’t feel proud, and you don’t feel like there’s much hope, so taking these measures to make sure that I get to have a hopefully bright future and achieve the things that I want to achieve by doing the ovarian reserve is really important.”
