Chart-topping singer Paloma Faith has given fans a radiant glimpse into her family holiday in Oman, proudly showing off her growing baby bump. The 44-year-old, who is expecting her third child, shared a series of sun-drenched photos from the trip with her boyfriend, Stevie Thomas, and her two young daughters.
A Sun-Soaked Family Getaway
In images posted to her Instagram, Faith looked relaxed and happy, wearing a polka dot bikini on the beach. She described the journey as an "amazing trip to Oman with the boy, kids and bump," expressing gratitude for the chance to spend quality time with her family before her new arrival. The singer announced her pregnancy in October, revealing this will be her first child with Thomas, whom she described as a 'posh' managing director.
Reflecting on the importance of family time, Faith wrote in her caption: "Someone said to me recently you only really get 18 summers with your kids and I was lucky to extend that with a bit of winter sun." She added that she never takes these moments for granted and is thrilled to be expecting her "third miracle baby," stating she feels "VERY happy" about her personal life.
New Love and a Change of Heart on Marriage
This holiday comes a year after Faith went public with her new partner, Stevie Thomas, the director of Birmingham venue The JamHouse. The couple made their debut at the Sony Music BRITs afterparty in March last year. Sources close to the singer have described the pair as "head over heels" and in their "healthiest relationship ever."
In a significant personal shift, Faith has revealed that Thomas has made her reconsider her long-standing opposition to marriage. Speaking on the Newly Weds podcast in March, the formerly "anti-marriage" singer admitted her perspective has softened. "Weirdly, I don't know what's changed in me, but this guy gives me a bit like 'Oh well'," she said, joking that her mother would think she was having a mid-life crisis.
However, the pragmatic star insisted any potential marriage would be to a financial equal and would involve a prenuptial agreement to protect her assets and her children's inheritance. She was previously married to French artist Leyman Lahcine from 2017 until their split in 2022, a separation she described as "the worst thing that's ever happened to me."
Healing from Past Heartbreak
Faith has spoken candidly about the profound impact of her divorce from Lahcine, the father of her two daughters. She told The Sun last year that the breakup left her with a nervous breakdown, feeling "so broken" and "full of guilt and shame." Despite the pain, she was determined to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children.
Now, embracing a new chapter, Faith's focus is firmly on her blossoming family life. Her holiday posts from Oman radiate contentment, marking a stark and joyful contrast to the difficult period following her previous relationship's end. With a new baby on the way and a supportive partner by her side, the singer's future looks bright.
