Paloma Faith Welcomes Baby Boy via ‘Painful’ C-Section After Complicated Birth
10/03/2026
Paloma Faith has joyfully announced the birth of her third child, a baby boy, with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas. The 44-year-old singer, who went public with her relationship with Stevie in March 2025, shared the exciting news on Instagram, revealing that she gave birth to the little one on Friday, March 6th.
In a heartfelt post, Paloma shared a picture of herself holding her newborn’s hand and 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!”
A Complicated Birth Journey
Paloma’s third birth wasn’t without its challenges. After her baby boy was born a little earlier than expected, he spent three days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before being able to come home with his mother. Despite the physical and emotional toll, Paloma expressed gratitude for the incredible care provided by the midwives and medical team at St. Mary’s.
Paloma’s Bold Opinions on Gender and Motherhood
In the lead-up to her baby’s arrival, Paloma made headlines for her outspoken views on gender reveals. In a playful yet provocative Instagram video, she mockingly held both a pink and blue balloon, teasing her followers with the idea of revealing the baby’s gender before dramatically letting the balloons deflate. She followed up by saying, “Does it really matter? It’s 2026 – do we even give a s**t about gender anymore?!”
Paloma’s humor and unapologetic stance on motherhood have made her an outspoken figure in the entertainment world, especially regarding her own experiences of breastfeeding and body changes following childbirth. She has been candid about the struggles she faced with acute engorgement, a painful condition that made breastfeeding difficult after the birth of her second child in 2021.
A New Chapter for Paloma and Stevie
Paloma’s relationship with Stevie has already proven to be a transformative chapter in her life. The couple has spoken about their plans for the future, with Paloma revealing that she has started to soften her once-strong stance against marriage. She shared with fans that her feelings have shifted since meeting Stevie, admitting, “I was never going to get married… but now, I don’t know, I’ll keep an open mind.”
Her growing family marks a new chapter for Paloma, and though her journey has been filled with ups and downs, she continues to embrace each new moment with openness, humor, and love.
Looking Ahead
Paloma’s new arrival is the latest milestone in what has been a whirlwind year for the star. As she navigates the challenges of motherhood with her third child, she also remains busy with her career. Her unique blend of bold opinions, fierce independence, and heartfelt moments continue to captivate fans as she shares her life with her followers on social media.
