Paloma Faith has shared the joyous news that she’s welcomed her third child, a little boy, with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas. The singer, 44, gave birth on Friday, March 6th, after what she described as a “painful” C-section and a three-day stay in the special care unit with her newborn.

Paloma revealed the happy moment to her fans on Instagram, posting a touching photo of her holding her baby boy’s hand. Alongside the photo, 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. Today we go home! 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. C-sections ARE PAINFUL! He’s perfect and wonderful. Breastfeeding is hard!” 💕

This marks Paloma’s first child with Stevie, whom she went public with in March of last year. Paloma, who has two older children with her ex, Leyman Lahcine, has been documenting her pregnancy journey on social media and speaking openly about her experience.

Earlier this year, Paloma caused a stir with her candid opinion on gender reveals, jokingly criticizing the tradition in a theatrical video where she held both pink and blue balloons, ultimately poking fun at the whole concept. “Does it really matter?” she said, addressing her followers with an impassioned message about the importance of letting children define their own identity when they’re older.

In addition to the news of her newborn, Paloma has also opened up about the challenges she faced after her second child was born in 2021, revealing that she was in “next-level pain” due to acute engorgement, which made breastfeeding incredibly difficult.

The star, known for her outspoken views on motherhood and life, also shared how her relationship with Stevie has made her reconsider marriage, something she’s previously been against. In a candid interview, Paloma said, “I wasn’t married to my kids’ dad… but now, after being with Stevie, I feel differently. I’m not completely closed to it anymore.” 🥰

Paloma’s journey through motherhood continues to inspire and connect with fans, showing that even the most glamorous stars face real challenges behind the scenes.
