Pregnant Halsey compares growing baby bump to a basketball

This kid’s sure going to know how to dribble.

Halsey compared her baby bump to a standard-sized basketball in an Instagram post on Thursday.

The “With Me” singer showed off her growing belly wearing just a nude sports bra and tie-dye sweatpants while holding the basketball under her arm to compare the size.

“These spot the difference games r getting harder every day 😃🏀,” she jokingly captioned the pic.

Halsey revealed that she was pregnant and expecting her first child in January.

She then celebrated the happy news by sharing a photo of her ultrasound to social media just a few days later.

The baby’s father is rumored to be her boyfriend Alev Aydin, with whom she got matching tattoos just day before the pregnancy reveal.

The singer was forced to make a public statement sharing that her pregnancy was “100% planned” in March follow speculation that her baby was a surprise.

“I tried very hard for this [baby,]” she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. “But I would be just as happy even if it were another way.”

She then slammed her critics, writing, “Why is it ok to speculate and pass judgment about fertility and conception?”

Aydin is Halsey’s latest boyfriend in a string of romances the singer has had over the past few years. She was previously linked to Yungblud and “American Horror Story” star Evan Peters. She also dated rapper G-Eazy on and off until 2018.

Halsey’s pregnancy news comes nearly five years after sharing in 2016 that that she suffered a miscarriage.

The star has also been open about her struggles with endometriosis, and said in 2018 that she was freezing her eggs because, “I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility, about protecting myself.”

Earlier this year she showed off her endometriosis scars, saying “the scars that got me this angel.”
