Halsey first announced her pregnancy with a post in January. In the past, the singer has been open about their surgeries for endometriosis, and in a 2016 Rolling Stone interview they spoke about their miscarriage and fertility issues.

“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,” they said. “Then I have to go onstage and be this sex symbol of femininity and empowerment? It is demoralizing.”

The “Colors” singer — who uses she/they pronouns — has also been open about the way pregnancy and motherhood have shaped their gender identity.

“I’ve been thinking lots about my body. it’s strange to watch yourself change so quickly,” Halsey wrote in February. “I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about ‘womanhood’ but truly it has leveled my perception of gender entirely.”
