No, he cannot. I am a tax preparer, and we run into this question all the time. He cannot file as Head of Household on his return, but he can still claim you as a dependent as long as you have less than $3200 in income for the year.
Just a quick bit of education: The Head of Household filing status can be used by an adult who is supporting a relative. That relative can be a child, a parent, or even an aunt or sister. There are several other variables, so in case you're interested, I have given the IRS website showing the Head of Household rules.

It depends on your age, if you are less than 21 then he can claim you as a dependent.

It depends on if you have children together or he supports your child as well.

If you do not have a dependent child that qualifies, then no.
