Queen Halsey Has Now Welcomed Their Own Royal Baby Into The World
Last week, Halsey blessed the world with her album artwork for If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, where she poses atop a throne with a baby upon her lap. Now, life is imitating art as the pop giant has given birth to a baby of their own, because there is still good left in the world.
Halsey shared a pic of herself, partner Alev Aydin and beautiful baby Ender Ridley Aydin on Instagram, revealing Ender was born on Thursday 14th July.
“Gratitude,” the singer wrote in the caption.
“For the most ‘rare’ and euphoric birth. Powered by love.”
According to multiple online sources, the name “Ender” is Turkish and means “very rare”. Story checks out!
Lots of Halsey’s famous friends sent them well wishes in the comments on the post, including Demi Lovato, Olivia Rodrigo, Hailey Bieber, Katy Perry and more.
Halsey’s pregnancy journey, which was revealed to the public back in January, has proven to be an inspiring one for her, as the concept of “joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth” is what her new album – If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power – is all about.
"It was very important to me that the cover art conveyed the sentiment of my journey over the past few months,” Halsey wrote on Instagram revealing the album’s artwork.
“The dichotomy of the Madonna and the Whore. The idea that me as a sexual being and my body as a vessel and gift to my child are two concepts that can co-exist peacefully and powerfully.”
“My body has belonged to the world in many different ways the past few years," she continued, "and this image is my means of reclaiming my autonomy and establishing my pride and strength as a life force for my human being."
If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power drops Friday 27th August. Two babies in two months? Halsey can do it all.
