Singer Paloma Faith has joyfully announced the arrival of her third child, a baby boy, with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas. The 44-year-old artist, who first went public with her relationship at the Sony Music BRITs afterparty in March last year, shared the happy news on Instagram this Tuesday.
A Joyful Announcement on Social Media
In a heartfelt post, Paloma revealed that her little boy was born on Friday, March 6th. She uploaded a touching snapshot of her holding the newborn's tiny hand, accompanied by a candid caption detailing her experience.
'On Friday March 6th I had my third baby, a little boy...' she wrote. 'He was a bit early and ended up in NICU for 3 days. The midwives and team around me were incredible particularly Today we go home!...'
Honest Reflections on Motherhood
Paloma did not shy away from sharing the realities of postpartum life, adding: '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!'
Expanding Her Family with New Partner
This marks Paloma Faith's first child with Stevie Thomas, who is the managing director of the venue The Jam House. The couple's relationship has blossomed since they started dating, with Paloma announcing her pregnancy in October last year via Instagram.
At that time, The Celebrity Traitors star captioned her post with humor and pride: 'Plot twist, mother is mothering (again) #morethangeriatricpregnancy #oappregnancy #oapmilf #18weekspregnant'.
Previous Family Life
Paloma was previously in a long-term relationship with Leyman Lahcine, with whom she shares two daughters. Their first child was born in December 2016, followed by a second baby girl in February 2021. The couple parted ways in 2023 after nine years together.
A Shift in Perspective on Marriage
Interestingly, Paloma Faith has revealed that her new love with Stevie Thomas has made her reconsider her stance on marriage. Historically opposed to the institution due to its patriarchal roots, she expressed a change of heart earlier this year.
Speaking on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's Newly Weds podcast in March, she explained: 'I wasn't married to my kids' dad and I've always been someone that's very anti-marriage, because the history of it is that it's about ownership of women and I'm the child of a feminist.'
She continued, 'Weirdly, I don't know what's changed in me, but this guy gives me a bit like "Oh well".' This shift highlights the deepening seriousness of her relationship with Stevie, which she noted had been ongoing for nearly a year at that point.
As Paloma Faith settles into life as a mother of three, her fans and followers celebrate this new chapter with her, admiring her honesty and resilience through the challenges and joys of parenthood.
