Halsey Shares Their ‘Real’ Postpartum Body — Says They Don’t Want to ‘Feed the Illusion’

It's been almost three months since Halsey welcomed their first child into the world, and now the singer is getting real about what their body looks like after birth. In a series of photos they shared on Instagram, Halsey shared their postpartum body in an effort to shatter the "illusion" about bouncing back after having a baby.

They went on to explain that they're embracing the changes in their body

"I will never have my 'pre baby body back' no matter how it changes physically because I have now had a baby! And that has altered me forever; emotionally, spiritually, and physically," Halsey continued. "That change is permanent. And I don’t want to go back! But in the spirit of honesty, I’m really tired and not a superhuman and this is really hard."

This is something that many new parents have felt — Halsey definitely isn't the only one.

Halsey has been all about keeping it real since their son was born

Back in July, Halsey and partner Alev Aydin welcomed son Ender Ridley into the world, and since then, they've been all about sharing their journey into first-time parenthood, even in the midst of releasing a new album.

It's all very impressive, to say the least.

Good for Halsey for sharing this piece of reality with fans

As a new parent — or a parent in general — it can be hard to see other people's highlight reels on social media when you're struggling, especially if you follow celebrities who make the postpartum time look easy. But thankfully, there are also people like Halsey, who are honest about what they're going through every step of the way.
