Halsey introduced herself in a rainbow-crocheted bikini top and jeans and surprised the world with an announcement about pregnancy.
Fans chanted over the unexpected maternity photos, shot by 21-year-old photographer Sam Dameshek in front of a background of silk canvas.
“Surprise!” Halsey, 26, endorsed the photos on Instagram.
The pop singer, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, grew up in Washington, Warren County. She is expecting her first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin, whom she marked in the photos.
This is not Halsey’s first pregnancy. She had a miscarriage in 2015 while on tour and had her eggs frozen after being diagnosed with endometriosis.
‘My rainbow’, she said in a tweet on Wednesday, both her message and rainbow bikinis (and rainbow emojis) apparently referring to ‘rainbow baby’, a term for a baby coming after a previous miscarriage, stillbirth or death of a baby.
Aydin, a screenwriter, has only been connected to Halsey for the past few months, but will surely become one of the most googles this week. In October, he was spotted when Halsey bought art supplies in Los Angeles.
“I left my house once, like the last three months, and you know it because I got a father,” she said. tweeted Saturday, perhaps with reference to Daily Mail photos of the art shop outing with Aydin.
Aydin (see photo below) shared her pregnancy photos on his Instagram stories.
“Heart so full, I love you, sweetness,” he said in a comment on her message.
“I love you!!!!!” she replied. “And I already love this mini-human!”
The singer, known for her chameleon hair and makeup styling, recently unveiled a face, her own cosmetics range. On January 22, she canceled her previously postponed Manic World Tour, referring to the security risk for fans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Halsey, an alum at Warren Hills Regional High School, released the album “Manic” in 2020 and recently spoke out about the lack of Grammys love for her and other artists like The Weeknd this year.
‘Without Me’, a single from the album, topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019. Halsey was nominated for two Grammys in 2016 for ‘Closer’, her collaboration with The Chainsmokers, and as an artist on Justin Bieber’s Grammy -nominated album “Doel.”
