Halsey is about to become a first-time mom. The "Without Me" singer revealed the news Wednesday on Instagram by posting a series of photos in which she is showing off her baby bump.
"Surprise" she captioned the images.
Halsey did not specify who the father is but she tagged screenwriter Alev Aydin in the first photo. He shared the photos to his Instagram stories and gushed over Halsey in the comments section of her post.
"Heart so full, I love you, sweetness," he wrote.
"I love you!!!!! And I love this mini human already!" Halsey replied.
In March, the pop icon opened up about suffering multiple miscarriages. In an interview with The Guardian, she admitted it was the "most inadequate" she has ever felt.
"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," she said. "Then I have to go onstage and be this sex symbol of femininity and empowerment? It is demoralizing."
In her "Manic" album notes for Apple Music, Halsey tentatively wrote of hope that she would still experience motherhood.
"I've been really open about my struggles with reproductive health, about wanting to freeze my eggs and having endometriosis and things like that. For a long time, I didn't think that having a family was something I was going to be able to do, and it’s very, very important to me," she wrote, explaining that her song, "More," was about her struggles.
"Then one day my OB-GYN tells me it's looking like I maybe can, and I was so moved. It felt like this ascension into a different kind of womanhood. All of a sudden, everything is different. I'm not going to go tour myself to death because I have nothing else to do and I'm overcompensating for not being able to have this other thing that I really want. Now, I have a choice. I've never had a choice before. Lido [the producer Peder Losnegård] and I built the fading instrumental at the end of the song to sound like a sonogram, like you were hearing the sounds from inside a womb. It's one of the most special songs I've ever made."
