Does mass bend the Higgs field as well?

We know that - mass bends space-time - this is known as gravity

We also know that - (interaction with) Higgs fields gives mass to particles

Does mass/gravity bend the Higgs field as well?

What do you mean with "bend the Higgs field"? ;)

Mass bends spacetime, and the Higgs field is within this spacetime. While there is no theory to combine quantum mechanics and gravity yet, I think it is a reasonable model to say that the space where the Higgs field is in is bent.
