Paloma Faith Announces She's Given Birth To Her Third Child
Paloma Faith has announced that she has given birth to her third child.
On Tuesday morning, the Brit Award winner shared with her Instagram followers that she welcomed a baby, who she has described as “perfect and wonderful”, on Friday.
“He was a bit early and ended up in NICU for three days,” the singer-songwriter explained, before praising the “incredible” midwives and the medical team who helped her with the C-section birth.
“Today we go home!” she continued. “As usual, it’s not easy, I’m engorged already, day three intrusive thoughts, in love with my partner and my kids more than ever. Just taking it all slow.”
Paloma rounded off her post by saying that “C-sections ARE PAINFUL” and “breastfeeding is hard”.
The Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer is also a mum to two daughters, born in December 2016 and February 2021, whose father is Paloma’s ex-partner Leyman Lahcine.
She announced that she was pregnant in October 2025, shortly after taking part in the first season of The Celebrity Traitors.
Paloma’s former Celebrity Traitors co-stars were quick to celebrate the arrival of her son in her Instagram comments, including her friend Alan Carr, who wrote: “Oh how wonderful. Congratulations darling!”
“Massive congratulations, brilliant news,” host Claudia Winkleman also wrote. “All love.”
In 2020, while announcing her second pregnancy, Paloma disclosed that she had been through six rounds of IVF in order to conceive her second daughter.
At the time, she shared that her first birth had been “very traumatic”, pointing out that she is “prone to postpartum depression”, vowing to “be very real [...] with you all” when it came to discussing matters of pregnancy and parenthood.
Before getting pregnant, Paloma had spoken about working on her upcoming seventh album, a follow-up to 2024’s The Glorification Of Sadness, telling The Sun last year: “It’s not just sad and happy – it’s the bit in between where you are tentatively happy.
“I am pulling in from everywhere. It’s my life experiences, sometimes I have a conversation and I write things down or it’s how I feel that day. Sometimes it can be something I’ve read about that’s really struck me. It’s always been like that.”
