Paloma Faith, 44, finally finds happiness with ‘posh’ boyfriend Stevie Thomas as couple announce pregnancy and consider marriage after ‘devastating’ split from Leyman Lahcine

by

Singer Paloma Faith is expecting her first child with boyfriend Stevie Thomas, and she’s reportedly very happy. The announcement was made on Friday.

Oh my gosh, you guys, she finally said it! After everything she went through with Leyman – it was so devastating to watch – she’s actually thinking about getting married! Apparently, she’s been with this amazing guy, the managing director of The JamHouse – he’s so posh and handsome! – for a whole year now, and I think he’s the one. I’m seriously so happy for her, she deserves all the happiness in the world!

Paloma married a French artist in 2017, and they have two young daughters together. They separated in 2022 after nine years of marriage, which was a very difficult time for Paloma and led to a period of intense emotional distress.

She and Stevie became a public couple in March, showing their affection for each other at the afterparty for the Sony Music BRIT Awards.

According to a source, Paloma and Stevie are deeply in love, and Paloma has described the relationship as the healthiest she’s ever been in.

‘He’s 6ft6 and she loves how he towers over her.

Sources described the couple as having a passionate and thrilling connection, but also emphasized their emotional intimacy and open communication. They seem to have a deep connection and are looking for a lasting relationship.

Paloma revealed she was dating someone new after Vogue Williams playfully challenged her about a comment she’d made calling Spencer Matthews ‘wealthy’.

During a funny moment on her podcast, ‘Mad, Sad and Bad,’ the singer playfully asked the model, who is 40 years old, what initially drew her to the wealthy and attractive man.

Vogue shared that her husband, Spencer, 37, told her Paloma had been criticizing him for being upper class.

Paloma explained that she’s now dating someone wealthier and from a different social circle, jokingly referring to it as ‘sleeping with the enemy’.

Oh my gosh, she did! She actually talked about growing up in Hackney, you know, where she comes from – it was so real! And then, can you believe it, she actually apologized for who she loves? It just… it proves she’s so genuine and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. I’m obsessed!

She joked: ‘I’m thinking of it more like a social experiment.’ 

Paloma shared that she’s now open to the idea of marriage because of her new partner, something she never considered before.

She recently shared that her relationship with her new boyfriend is getting serious, and they’ve been dating for almost a year.

In a March episode of Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s podcast, Newly Weds, Paloma shared something unusual, saying, ‘This is a strange thing.’

I never married my children’s father, and I’ve always been against marriage in general. That’s because historically, marriage has been about controlling women, and I was raised by a feminist mother who taught me that.

‘Weirdly, I don’t know what’s changed in me, but this guy gives me a bit like “Oh well”‘.

I’ll never forget when I first met him – I distinctly remember telling everyone, ‘Absolutely no weddings for me, please don’t even bring it up!’ It felt so strong at the time.

Over time, I’ve become more open-minded and willing to consider different perspectives. I can feel myself becoming more flexible in my thinking.

If my mom finds out about this, she’ll probably ask what’s happening and if I’m having a mid-life crisis.

‘I do think having kids with someone is stronger than marriage from experience.’

Paloma was firm that she would only marry someone with a similar financial status, and she wanted to be certain her money and possessions were secure.

She shared that she wouldn’t want to marry someone unless she truly believed the relationship could last a lifetime, be equal, and feel balanced – something she didn’t have in her previous relationship.

‘I felt I had too much to lose to him if it didn’t work out. Just like financially.

I would have sacrificed my children’s future inheritance to protect my own assets and their financial security. If I had gone through with it, I definitely would have gotten a prenuptial agreement.

Paloma shared that she experienced a difficult emotional collapse after her breakup with Leyman. She finds it painful to revisit that time, describing herself as deeply hurt and overwhelmed with feelings of guilt and shame about how the relationship ended.

Paloma recently shared with The Sun that she was deeply affected by her breakup, saying she felt completely shattered and believes she had a mental breakdown.

Looking back, I was in such a dark place that it felt like my mind just shut down. Honestly, it’s hard to recall much from that time, because I was completely overwhelmed by sadness, guilt, and shame. It’s like my brain was protecting me by distancing me from the pain, but it also means those memories are really fragmented.

Even though she was hurting after the breakup, Paloma was committed to staying friendly with her ex-partner because they have children together.

She said: ‘You have to see your ex all the time. You can’t just say, ”This is too painful”.

We both tend to avoid conflict, so we immediately tried to be friendly. Like many things, if you act as if something is true long enough, it often becomes reality.

She admitted the breakup was ‘the worst thing that’s ever happened to me in my life’.

Paloma recently shared on the ‘Reign with Josh Smith’ podcast that she and Leyman still communicate, though she admitted their conversations can be difficult. She described the breakup as both incredibly painful and ultimately freeing.

Paloma channeled the emotions from a difficult breakup into her new album, The Glorification of Sadness, and its first single, “How You Leave A Man.”

This breakup has been incredibly difficult for me. It was my longest relationship, and we share two children together, making it the most painful experience of my life.

It was impossible to leave this out of my writing, but it’s a very personal issue, especially since children are involved. It feels strange to talk about, so I’m hoping the meaning of the songs will be clear without me having to explain much.

Let’s be real, the title ‘How You Leave A Man’ pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? Everyone keeps asking what inspired it, but honestly, it feels amazing to just put it all out there. It’s so freeing, you wouldn’t believe!

Listening to the album from beginning to end feels like experiencing the different stages of grief. It moves from moments of self-destruction and withdrawal to times of real vulnerability. What’s particularly interesting for me, as a woman making music, are the moments where the songs feel truly empowering.

Paloma said the breakup was incredibly painful, and she’s found the kind words and support from her fans online to be really healing.

She explained that many songs focus on sadness and regret, but rarely celebrate strength and independence. She believes highlighting empowerment is crucial from a feminist perspective.

It’s about accepting that going through the ups and downs of recovery after a big life change is normal, and being kind to yourself throughout the process.

Despite the difficulties and emotional challenges of this campaign, I’m glad I’ve been able to include some humor along the way.

‘Oh lets laugh in the face of adversity, it’s quite a sort of camp response to tragedy.

Honestly, it’s such a relief! Finding other people online who get it, who are just as obsessed as I am and are all like ‘YES, QUEEN!’ – it’s like the best group therapy ever. It really helps me feel less alone, you know?

She said: ‘I’m still friends with my ex because we have to be, because we’ve got two children.

There have been times when talking things through with him has been incredibly difficult, especially when we’re trying to figure out what went wrong. But then we’ll make eye contact and just burst out laughing!

We often second-guess ourselves, worrying about whether we’ve said or done something wrong. For example, I recently wondered if I looked terrible because I’d been crying, and he bluntly told me I did.

It’s really good that we agree on how bad things are. He just says it’s awful – complete destruction!

Honestly, I’m not sure happy endings even exist in real life, but it’s like… they’ve been drilled into us since we were little, right? All those stories we heard as kids, all the fairy tales… it’s like our brains are just expecting things to work out perfectly. I can’t help but wonder if that’s why I’m always disappointed when things don’t!

Paloma revealed on Friday that she is 18 weeks pregnant, sharing the surprising news in a post on Instagram.

The star of The Celebrity Traitors, who was the first contestant voted off the show, announced she’s pregnant in a social media post. She jokingly captioned it with ‘Plot twist, mother is mothering (again)’ and used hashtags referencing her age and 18-week pregnancy.

She’s been very honest about the difficult journey she’s had with fertility, having conceived her two children through IVF.

Paloma faced a difficult journey to motherhood, undergoing six rounds of IVF. Sadly, she experienced an ectopic pregnancy and a heartbreaking miscarriage before finally welcoming her two children.
