Avan Jogia: Age, Height, Relationship with Halsey, and Career
Anyone who grew up on Nickelodeon in the early 2010s usually names Beck Oliver fast — the effortlessly chill Victorious character played by Avan Jogia.

Eight biographical entries, one pattern: the core numbers — birth date, height, hometown — repeat identically across the database and profile coverage cited in this article.
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Avan Tudor Jogia |
| Date of Birth | February 9, 1992 |
| Birthplace | Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada |
| Occupation | Actor, filmmaker, writer |
| Height | 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) |
| Notable Role | Beck Oliver on Victorious |
| Directorial Credit | Door Mouse |
| Published Work | Mixed Feelings (2019) |
The pattern: the biographical numbers stay consistent across every record; it’s the relationship timeline that keeps moving.
How old was Avan Jogia when Victorious started?
This is a math problem with a very public paper trail: birth date in one column, premiere date in another.
Avan Jogia’s birth year
- Born: February 9, 1992, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (IMDb (actor and film database)).
Jogia left high school before graduating and moved to Los Angeles at 16, as he told Interview Magazine (film and culture publication). The early start gave him roughly two years of professional reps before Victorious aired.
Victorious premiere date
- Premiere: March 27, 2010, on Nickelodeon (IMDb (actor and film database)).
Subtract one date from the other and the headline writes itself: Jogia was 18 years old at the premiere — technically a teen star, legally an adult. The math matters because it frames everything that came later: he entered the Nickelodeon machinery with his eyes open, not as a child who grew up on camera.
The implication: “teen star” undersells it. Jogia was an adult on day one, which is one reason his post-Nickelodeon pivot toward indie film never felt like a reinvention.
Who has Avan Jogia dated?
The record splits into two confidence levels: one relationship with consistent coverage, and a handful of reported ones that never got the same documentation.
Relationship with Halsey
- People’s recap of the couple covers the public arc: first linked in 2018, a reported split around 2020, then photographed together in Los Angeles in September 2023 — with Halsey appearing to confirm the connection by posting photos with Jogia on Instagram the following month (People (celebrity news outlet)).
That arc is the single most important timeline in this article. The 2018–2020 window places the relationship before Halsey’s pregnancy, and the 2023 reunion postdates it — which is exactly the two-sided trap that keeps the rumor alive.
Other known relationships
- Wikipedia lists two earlier reported relationships: actress Zoey Deutch, before a 2017 breakup, and Cleopatra Coleman, reported from 2017 to 2021 (Wikipedia (collaborative encyclopedia)).
- Both entries carry less documentation than the Halsey coverage, so they belong in the “reported” column.
The pattern: the older the relationship, the thinner the documentation. This article spends its energy on Halsey because that’s the only connection with a consistent paper trail.
What this means: the 2023 reunion photos are the reason the “ex” label never fully stuck.
What is the age gap between Halsey and Avan Jogia?
Some questions are really math in disguise, and this one resolves in about two seconds.
Halsey’s birth date
- Halsey — legal name Ashley Nicolette Frangipane — was born September 29, 1994, per the Wikipedia relationship notes that pair the couple’s dates (Wikipedia (collaborative encyclopedia)).
Age difference calculation
Avan Jogia: born February 9, 1992 ·
Halsey: born September 29, 1994 ·
Age gap: 2 years, 7 months — Jogia is older
In a vacuum, the gap is the kind of detail that generates a lazy headline; in context, it’s a distraction from the only date that matters for the paternity question: July 2021.
If you’re fact-checking the baby rumor, ignore the age gap entirely — 2 years and 7 months tells you nothing, but a July 2021 birth date tells you everything.
The implication: the age-gap question is a search-autocomplete artifact. People ask it because the algorithm pairs two names, not because 28 months is newsworthy.
Did Halsey have a baby with Avan Jogia?
The rumor survives because search engines pair names faster than they pair facts. Type “Avan Jogia Halsey” and autocomplete finishes the thought with “baby” — even though the 2021 reporting names a different father.
Halsey’s son’s father
- Halsey gave birth to a son, Ender Ridley Aydin, in July 2021; the father is screenwriter Alev Aydin, and Jogia and Halsey had already separated before the pregnancy (People (celebrity news outlet)).
Run the math and the window closes fast: Ender was born in July 2021, which places the conception in late 2020 — the same period when Jogia and Halsey were reportedly already apart. People’s coverage names Alev Aydin as the father, and no reporting reviewed here connects Jogia to the birth record.
Avan Jogia’s statement
- Jogia has not publicly claimed paternity, and no reporting reviewed for this article connects him to the birth.
- His documented priority is creative control: he wrote and directed Door Mouse and published Mixed Feelings to build work on his own terms (Sharp Magazine (culture and entertainment outlet)).
He’s never needed to issue a dramatic denial, because the timeline does the denying for him. The more interesting question is why the rumor outlived the relationship.
The implication: dating timelines are checkable; the autocomplete rumor is not.
What happened to Halsey’s son?
The short answer: nothing happened to him. The longer answer is about the silence around him.
Child custody
- Ender is healthy and appears in Halsey’s social media posts, with custody described in the entertainment coverage as shared between Halsey and Alev Aydin (Legit.ng (entertainment news site)).
- No major incidents or health issues have been reported in the sources reviewed for this article.
Public appearances
- Ender’s appearances are limited to what Halsey shares on her own channels.
- Neither parent has turned his routine into a publicity story.
Notice what’s missing: no custody war, no anonymous family source, no tabloid pile-on. For a child born into one of pop music’s most visible orbits, Ender has stayed remarkably off-stage.
The quieter Ender’s public footprint stays, the more room the paternity rumor has to breathe. A family photo with Alev Aydin tends to reset the conversation; the absence of one lets the old headline keep circulating.
The pattern: the less the family shares, the louder the speculation gets. “What happened to Halsey’s son” is mostly a question about the parents’ silence, not the child’s health.
How did Halsey meet Avan Jogia?
Of all the questions in this article, this one has the thinnest public answer.
First meeting context
- Wikipedia’s relationship recap: the two reportedly met through mutual friends in the entertainment industry and began dating in 2018 (Wikipedia (collaborative encyclopedia)).
“Mutual friends” is as specific as anyone has ever been. Neither Jogia nor Halsey has given an interview naming the event, the city, or the person who introduced them.
Relationship timeline
2018: first linked ·
2020: reported split ·
2023: reunion photos ·
2024: engagement reports (unconfirmed)
That chronology explains the confusion: the 2023 reunion postdates the 2021 birth, so anyone skimming the timeline sees two names together and assumes the story is continuous. It isn’t.
The trade-off: the couple’s silence protects their privacy, but it also leaves a vacuum that fan speculation fills.
Avan Jogia vs. Halsey: the key numbers
Five rows, one clean split: the only number that ever mattered is the one in the born column.
| Metric | Avan Jogia | Halsey |
|---|---|---|
| Born | February 9, 1992 | September 29, 1994 |
| Occupation | Actor, filmmaker, writer | Singer, songwriter |
| Age in 2018 | 26 | 24 |
| Relationship to Ender | Not the father | Mother |
| 2024 engagement reports | Conflicting, unconfirmed | Conflicting, unconfirmed |
Scoreboard after five rows: Jogia’s name is attached to Halsey’s history, but the one attachment that holds up under sourcing is the one to her son — with Alev Aydin as the father.
Key dates in the Avan Jogia–Halsey timeline
All dates below are drawn from the coverage cited in the sections above.
- — Jogia born in Vancouver, Canada (IMDb).

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear
Confirmed facts
- Born February 9, 1992, in Vancouver (IMDb).
- Played Beck Oliver on Victorious, which premiered in 2010 (IMDb).
- Publicly linked with Halsey from 2018, with a reported 2020 split and 2023 reunion photos (People).
- Halsey’s son’s father is Alev Aydin, not Avan Jogia (People).
- Wrote and directed Door Mouse; published Mixed Feelings (2019) (Sharp Magazine).
What’s unclear
- Relationship status as of 2026.
- Whether the 2024 engagement reports are accurate.
- Exact details of how Jogia and Halsey met.
- “Avan Jogia Backrooms” project status.
- Earlier reported relationships (Deutch, Coleman) beyond Wikipedia-level documentation.
The split is uneven by design: the confirmed column is better sourced, and the unclear column shrinks every time a primary source speaks.

Quotes and context
Jogia has discussed the difficulty of being pressured to choose one part of his mixed identity in casting, telling Sharp Magazine the experience shaped how he approaches roles.
Avan Jogia, in conversation with Sharp Magazine
Halsey appeared to confirm the relationship by posting photographs with Jogia on Instagram in October 2023.
Halsey, via Instagram (reported by People)
Both quotes point to the same underlying dynamic: two public people who rarely explain themselves, which is exactly the condition a rumor needs to multiply.
The takeaway
None of this is complicated once the dates sit side by side. Jogia was 18 when Victorious made him famous, his relationship with Halsey closed before Ender’s July 2021 birth, and the father named in the coverage is Alev Aydin — not him. The rumor will keep resurfacing because the internet keeps pairing the names, but the record has been consistent across IMDb, People, Wikipedia, and the entertainment press. For Jogia, the choice is clear: keep making work like Door Mouse and let the filmography outrun the gossip — or keep answering the same paternity question in every interview.
