Halsey gives fans intimate look at her endometriosis battle: ‘Back in diapers’
Halsey isn’t shying away from opening up about her journey with endometriosis.
The “Without Me” songstress, who uses she/they pronouns, took to their Instagram Story Wednesday to show she’s been wearing a diaper after seemingly undergoing another procedure.
“Back in diapers but at least they have little bows,” she captioned a picture showing herself from the chest down in striped pajamas.
For the snap, Halsey, 29, tied back their pajama top to reveal three incisions on their lower abdomen.
While she didn’t provide further context, she gave a shoutout to Celebrity favorite OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi for her “unparalleled care and brilliance.”
The “Bad at Love” hitmaker followed up with another blank post that read, “Endometriosis gang.”
Per the World Health Organization, Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that usually lines the uterus grows outside of it — often causing severe pain.
Halsey has gone through several surgeries since initially being diagnosed with the condition in 2016 following a miscarriage.
At the time, she got candid about losing their baby while “overworked” during their Badlands Tour, which ran from September 2015 to 2016.
“I beat myself up for it,” she told Rolling Stone Magazine in July 2016, explaining how the devastating loss occurred in their hotel room.
“I think that the reason it happened is just the Lifestyle I was living. I wasn’t drinking. I wasn’t doing drugs. I was f–king overworked – in the hospital every couple of weeks because I was dehydrated, needing bags of IVs brought to my greenroom. I was anemic, I was fainting. My body just broke the f–k down.”
Two years later the two-time Grammy winner revealed she decided to freeze their eggs at 23-years-old as their condition got more “aggressive.”
“When I tell people that, they’re like, ‘You’re 23, why do you need to do that? Why do you need to freeze your eggs?'” she shared on “The Doctors” in 2018.
“Doing an ovarian reserve is important to me because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, but I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility, about protecting myself.”
Halsey didn’t seem to waste any time in starting a family as she announced in January 2021 that she was expecting their first son with their now-ex Alev Aydin, 40.
At the time, she told their Instagram followers that she “tried very hard for this [baby]” and it was “100% planned.”
That July the singer gave birth to their son Ender, revealing she had the most “rare” and “euphoric birth.”
However, after two years of dating, Halsey and Aydin called it quits in April 2023 with the hitmaker requesting full custody of their son. She has since moved on with actor Avan Jogia.
