In an exciting new chapter of her life, Paloma Faith has joyfully announced the arrival of her third child, a beautiful baby boy, with her boyfriend, Stevie Thomas. The 44-year-old singer took to Instagram to share the touching news on Tuesday, revealing that her son was born on Friday, March 6th.
While the arrival of her new little one is cause for celebration, Paloma was open about the challenges she faced during the birth. She shared that the baby arrived slightly early and had to spend three days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before being discharged. Despite these hurdles, Paloma expressed deep gratitude for the incredible medical team who supported her throughout the experience.
A Rollercoaster Journey to Motherhood
This marks Paloma’s third child, although it is her first with Stevie, the managing director of The Jam House. The singer previously shared two daughters with her ex-husband, Leyman Lahcine, whom she split from in 2023 after nine years together.
In her candid Instagram post, Paloma 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!”
Paloma has always been honest about her motherhood journey, and her willingness to speak openly about her struggles continues to resonate with her fans. Despite the emotional and physical challenges of a C-section and breastfeeding difficulties, she remains grateful for her new addition.
A Fresh Perspective on Gender Reveals and Motherhood
Before the birth of her son, Paloma sparked debate when she shared her thoughts on gender reveals. In a playful video on social media, Paloma held both a pink and a blue balloon, teasing her followers with a dramatic “gender reveal” moment. However, Paloma quickly expressed her frustration with the focus on gender, humorously calling it “ridiculous.” She further voiced her opinion, saying, “It’s 2026 – do we even give a s**t about gender anymore? It’ll be whatever it wants to be when it’s old enough to decide its own identity.”
Her bold comments reflect her progressive views on gender and identity, offering an empowering message for both her followers and her newborn son.
Personal Struggles and Triumphs
Paloma’s path to motherhood has not been without its difficulties. She has been open about her struggles with acute engorgement, a painful condition that makes breastfeeding incredibly challenging. She previously discussed the condition after giving birth to her second child in 2021, and again reflected on it with honesty in her recent posts. Despite these hurdles, Paloma remains determined to face the challenges head-on, expressing her commitment to taking it slow and savoring every moment with her children.
The singer had announced her pregnancy in October 2025, revealing that she was expecting her first child with Stevie after several months of dating. The couple’s relationship has been a breath of fresh air for Paloma, who had previously expressed being strongly opposed to the idea of marriage. However, her feelings toward commitment seem to have shifted since meeting Stevie, and she has since admitted that she’s now open to the idea of marriage.
A New Relationship, A New Beginning
The news of Paloma’s pregnancy was met with joy from fans, who have followed her journey closely. Her relationship with Stevie has brought her a sense of stability and happiness, and she has shared how much their bond has helped her grow emotionally. During an appearance on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s podcast, Paloma admitted that she never imagined herself getting married, but her relationship with Stevie had softened her stance. “I wasn’t married to my kids’ dad, and I’ve always been someone who’s very anti-marriage… but this guy gives me a bit like ‘Oh well,’” she shared.
Her openness about love, family, and personal growth has only endeared her more to fans. As she moves forward with Stevie, Paloma is embracing the new chapter of her life, especially as she balances her role as a mother of three with her successful career in the spotlight.
