Singer Paloma Faith has officially welcomed her third child, a baby boy, marking a joyful addition to her family. The announcement was made on social media on Tuesday, March 10, where the 44-year-old artist shared that her son was born a few days earlier on Friday, March 6.
In her Instagram post, Faith revealed that the birth was a challenging experience. She underwent a cesarean section and noted that her little one had to spend three days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) due to some initial breathing issues. “He was a bit early and ended up in NICU for 3 days with some breathing problems,” she explained. Faith praised the medical team for their incredible support, extending gratitude to specific midwives and her obstetrician, highlighting the importance of their care during this time.
Returning home after their brief hospital stay, Faith expressed the usual challenges that come with motherhood. She described feeling overwhelmed as she adjusted to life with her newborn. “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,” she wrote. Her unfettered honesty resonated with many who have experienced the trials of new parenthood, particularly concerning breastfeeding, which she acknowledged as “hard.”
The post featured an intimate black-and-white photograph of Faith cradling her newborn’s tiny hand, symbolising the profound bond formed at the very beginning of life. The heartfelt announcement received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow artists alike, with former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge Alan Carr among those who offered their well-wishes in the comments.
This new addition joins Faith’s two daughters, whom she welcomed in 2016 and 2021 with her former partner Leyman Lahcine. This baby boy marks her first with current partner Stevie Thomas, who is a director for a music venue. The couple’s journey into parenthood together reinforces Faith’s growing family narrative while navigating the challenges of bringing a child into the world.
Faith, known for her hit song “Only Love Can Hurt Like This,” announced her pregnancy back in October 2025, initially sharing joyful images of her growing baby bump and playfully captioning the posts, “Plot twist, mother is mothering (again).” Her pregnancy announcement was met with enthusiasm from her followers, and she concluded her post with hashtags that cheekily referenced her age and experience as an older mother.
In December, the singer candidly spoke about the realities of being pregnant at 44. Acknowledging her concerns, she wrote, “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.” Her openness about the emotional aspects of pregnancy has resonated with many, providing comfort to others in similar situations.
Following the arrival of her son, Faith showcased a new travel setup on her Instagram Stories, sharing a picture of a car seat and pram designed for convenience. She expressed her delight with the innovative design, reflecting her excitement for the practical gear that aids in her parenting journey.
As Paloma Faith embarks on this new chapter of motherhood, her updates provide a glimpse into the joys and trials yet to come. Fans are sure to follow her evolving journey, supporting her as she balances her family life with her career in the public eye. The singer continues to share her experiences with transparency, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of motherhood.
