Pop star Halsey
The singer shows unadorned pictures of her after-baby body
“I post this because no matter what I do, people will talk about my body,” the pop star begins her Instagram post and inspires her fans with an unfiltered insight.
After the birth of their baby, Ender Ridley Aydin, in July 2021, singer Halsey, 27, is now posting a photo series of snapshots from her bathroom in front of the mirror. You can see her unfiltered after-baby body. While the majority of influencer mommy’s drag their pictures through filters and soft focus before uploading them to Instagram, Ender’s mother stays down to earth. It shows that no body is flawless and that birth leaves its mark. Halsey spreads real body positivity through her natural approach to the otherwise hated topic.
Halsey looks at her new self stronger and more positive than ever before
The singer openly and honestly admits in her post that she initially strangled with her body after giving birth. She draws attention to the fact that it is perfectly normal to continue to “look pregnant” even after the birth of a child. She talks about permanent changes in her body during the period of pregnancy and afterwards – and how she currently has her “new ones” without any workouts “Learning to love the body. She continues: “I will never get my ‘pre-baby body’ back (…) because I had a baby. That changed me forever. Emotionally, spiritually and physically. This change is permanent. And I do not want to go back!”
These stars are happy for two

Halsey creates body awareness with her statement
The singer shows with her post that there is something that goes beyond the physicality and the urge of body perfectionism. With her statement, she cannot completely free mothers and expectant mothers from self-doubt and discomfort, but it proves that the pressure after a pregnancy to look the same as before does not have to be. Her message: A woman’s values should not be fixed in terms of weight or waist size. There are more important things than all of that.
