The new parent, 26, posted a sweet photo on Tuesday as theybonded with the 2-week-old, who was nursing while they were at a park.
The “Without You” singer — who shares Ender with their boyfriend, screenwriterAlev Aydin— sat crossed-legged in the grass and smirked as she looked away from the camera during the intimate moment. They sported a pink tank-top with printed palm trees, while the newborn looked cozy in a white T-shirt and purple pants with dog faces printed on them.
“#Worldbreastfeedingweek🤍 we arrived just in time!” Halsey captioned the post.
The singerwelcomed Ender on July 14.
Halseyannounced that they were expecting their first childin late January and weeks later clarified that “mypregnancy was 100% planned, and I tried very hard for this bb.” They added, however, “But I would be just as happy even if it were another way.”
The artist has been open about their journey to becoming a parent, including a battle withendometriosisand subsequentmultiple “terrifying” surgeries to combat it, a miscarriage they revealed toRolling Stonein 2016, tellingRolling Stonein 2019 profile that they were considering freezing their eggs, andchanging “perception of gender entirely” during pregnancy after theychanged their pronouns to she/they.
“I’ve been thinking lots about my body. it’s strange to watch yourself change so quickly,” Halsey wrote in February following their pregnancy reveal. “I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about ‘womanhood’ but truly it has leveled my perception of gender entirely.”
Days before giving birth, the “Eastside” singer sharedphotos of their cover for their upcoming album— which they said is “a concept album about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth.”
“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,” they wrote alongside the album cover image. “My body has belonged to the world in many different ways the past few years, and this image is my means of reclaiming my autonomy and establishing my pride and strength as a life force for my human being.”
