Halsey has made no secret of their lifelong desire to be a mother—saying, "I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star" after revealing in 2016 she suffered a miscarriage in 2015.

That wish came true July 14 when their son, Ender Ridley Aydin, came into the world, the 27-year-old's first child with boyfriend Alev Aydin.
