Paloma Faith has revealed she’s given birth to her third child.
The singer, podcast host, and Celebrity Traitors star, 44, shared the news with a sweet post on Instagram, saying she and her new son are headed home after he spent three days in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).
She wrote: ‘On Friday March 6th I had my third baby , a little boy. He was a bit early and ended up in NICU For 3 days.
‘The midwives and team around me were incredible particularly @missclairemellonandassociates @pat_themidwife @thisisyourbaby365
‘Today we go home! As usual its not easy , im engorged already , day three intrusive thoughts, in love with my partner and my kids more than ever. Just taking it all slow. C sections ARE PAINFUL! He’s perfect and wonderful. Breastfeeding is hard !’
She has not revealed who the father of her third child is.
However, earlier this year, it was reported that she was dating Stevie Thomas, the director of a music venue in Birmingham after he joined her at a Brit Awards afterparty.
Paloma previously admitted to being a ‘bit worried’ about being pregnant in her 40s, especially as she caught the flu earlier this month and ended up being nebulised in hospital.
‘I couldn’t be more happy about another baby and I’m bracing myself for the storm….’ she previously wrote on social media when she announced the news.
She shared black and white photos of herself, writing alongside them: ‘Pregnancy at 44. Ngl that’s a bit worrying but I’m trying to pretend to myself I’m calm So that eventually that comes true.’
The singer, who recently appeared on The Celebrity Traitors, already shares two daughters, born in 2016 and 2021, with her ex-partner Leyman Lahcine.
She has chosen to keep the names of her children private.
Paloma confirmed she’d split from Lahcine after a 10-year relationship in 2023, later calling it one of the best decisions she’d ever made.
Speaking on her Mad, Sad and Bad podcast in December of last year, she said: ‘Women feel like it’s their duty to stay and suffer for their kids. I think the relationship with my children’s dad that I got out of is amazing now.
‘Maybe in choosing to get out of the relationship in the romantic sense and into a relationship with him as a friendship and a co-parent was the best choice I ever made in hindsight because I think our relationship is better because of it.’
In a previous comment to the Independent, Paloma admitted their children were the reason for the break-up but said it was absolutely ‘worth it.’
Following the split, the Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer described herself as a ‘broken woman’ and said the emotional turmoil had left her ‘dishevelled.’
Now, however, it appears Paloma is better than ever as she and her mystery partner welcome a new bundle of joy into their family.
