## Relationship to Halsey

### Meeting and 11 Minutes

Halsey and YUNGBLUD met after she DM'ed (Direct Messaged) him on Instagram with a black heart (black hearts are used predominately in his fanbase) and her number. They met in November 2018, at a bar in California, they both have declined to share the location because it has become their spot and they'd rather not have it be public knowledge. They both recall drinking beers and talking for hours about life and music, not intending to collaborate with each other. Within a week of them meeting, "11 Minutes" was finished with Halsey on the track and Travis Barker on drums. They continued to hang out together forming a friendship immediately, in doing interviews together and separately they both have stated that they have written a lot of songs together, Halsey gave an example number of 15 during her facetime interview with Capital FM.

### Friendship and Romantic

During the video shoot for "11 Minutes" paparazzi were taking videos and photos from a far distance, while invading their privacy, and caught them kissing on set, but not for the music video, and their fans found out that there might be something between them. Halsey continued to try and keep her relationship with him under covers because of how her last relationship ended and the publicity she got during and ending that relationship. For a few months, YUNGBLUD deflected questions about his relationship with her during promo for 11 Minutes, stating in a BUILDSeries interview, that they were "really, really good friends". Two months later, Halsey hinted at her relationship with him, in an Instagram post of a photograph of YUNGBLUD hugging her, captioning "...and afterall", lyrics to Oasis's Wonderwall. She confirmed it officially in a Capital FM interview, talking about going to Doncaster (his place of birth) and tiny details about their relationship, such as their nicknames, she calls him 'Dom' and he calls her 'Ash baby', fans have also connected this to Halsey's tweet with the meme "I'm baby". Over time they became more okay with being intimate and affectionate in public and on social media.

### Break Up

Rumors of a breakup started September 27th when an article by the Daily Mail came out of Halsey and Evan Peters on a date a Six Flags on September 21st. These rumors were fueled even more when there was no activity going on between them on social media. After being together for ten months, it was confirmed by YUNGBLUD in an NME article that the two were no longer together but remained good friends.
