Paloma Faith has announced she is pregnant with her third child. The Celebrity Traitors star, 44, showed off her growing baby bump in new pictures she shared on Instagram on Friday, 24 October.
The singer showed off her bump as she wore a sports jersey rolled up, with a polka dot dress and matching sports cap, as she held her dog in her arms. She captioned the pictures: “Plot twist , mother is mothering (again),” before adding hashtags #morethangeriatricpregnancy #oappregnancy #oapmilf #18weekspregnant.
Her surprise news was met with an influx of congratulatory messages from her famous friends and followers.
Paloma has two daughters with her ex-partner, artist Leyman Lahcine, who she split from in 2023 after nine years together. Paloma has never revealed the names of her daughters, born in 2016 and 2021.
The star went public with her new boyfriend, Stevie Thomas, earlier this year. The pair stepped out together in March after the director of a music venue in Birmingham joined her at Sony’s Brit Award’s afterparty at Nobu Portman Square.
Speaking previously about her split from her ex-partner Leyman, the Picking Up The Pieces singer said: “You either grow together, adapting to one another like expandable foam and filling the gaps where it’s empty – or one person grows and the other stays the same.
“And I think for me, becoming a mother was such a massively life-changing experience that for the first time in my life, I needed more than nothing – and the expandable foam just wasn’t there.”
She went on: “Our relationship ended because we have those children. And I think that was worth it.”
Paloma’s pregnancy announcement comes after The Celebrity Traitors viewers watched on as she became the first “murdered” in the latest series. Earlier this month, her close pal Alan Car was responsible for her swift exit from the show.
Alan, along with Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns, were chosen to be this season’s Traitors by host Claudia Winkleman. And the trio wasted no time in targeting Paloma.
She said after her exit: “These are like three of my favourite people that I was sure… I hope they never call me again.
“Bang out of order. Bang out of order. I feel really even more betrayed now. I feel betrayed by Jonathan and Alan.”
