After more than three years of dating, Halsey and boyfriend Alev Aydin have split after more than three years together. According to sources, the couple’s decision to break up was “amicable” and they are committed to co-parenting their son Ender Ridley Aydin, born July 2021.
According to court documents, the 28-year-old Halsey filed a petition earlier this month to request primary physical custody of the couple’s child. In the documents, Halsey is asking to have joint legal custody of the child with Aydin, and for him to be granted “reasonable visitation” rights. Sources explained that the filing was simply a formality to allow Halsey to freely travel with their son as a touring artist. Halsey is also asking the court for fees of costs and litigation to be split between both parties.
Halsey and Aydin were first linked together when they were spotted together at a Los Angeles Lakers game in 2019. The singer surprised fans in early 2021 when they revealed her pregnancy, tagging Aydin in the post, which also confirmed their romance. She later told Allure: “Alev and I have been really good friends for four years. And when the stars aligned, our relationship became romantic and it was pretty evident that he and I were both like, ‘Oh, my gosh! You’re the person I’m supposed to start a family with,’ Nobody knew I was dating someone. As if people were entitled to an update, like, ‘I’ve met someone, we’re going on dates, it’s getting serious, they’ve moved in, we’re planning a child, we are having a baby, we had a baby, this is the gender….’”
Aydin was originally set to write a movie about Halsey’s life that was announced in 2018, but Halsey later revealed on Twitter that the biopic was postponed “Bc alev was supposed to be writing it the past 3 years and we slowly fell in love instead. you know the rest!”
