Singer Paloma Faith<\/strong> has announced she is pregnant with her third child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Upside Down singer already shares two daughters with her ex-partner, French artist Leyman Lahcine.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old posted photos showing her pregnant belly to Instagram on Friday and said: \u201cPlot twist, mother is mothering (again).\u201d<\/p>\n

She also shared the jokey hashtags: \u201c#morethangeriatricpregnancy #oappregnancy #oapmilf #18weekspregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radio presenter Zoe Ball, singer Jessie Ware, artist Tracey Emin and reality TV star Sophie Habboo were among those congratulating her in the comments.<\/p>\n

She was also congratulated by Claudia Winkleman, host of The Celebrity Traitors \u2013 a show Faith recently starred in.<\/p>\n

Faith welcomed her first child in 2016 and her second in 2021.<\/p>\n

The singer said she lost a litre of blood following her second pregnancy and was in \u201cso much pain despite the pain killers\u201d.<\/p>\n

She wrote on Instagram at the time: \u201cI had a planned c section yesterday I\u2019m in a lot of pain and didn\u2019t sleep last night but it\u2019s worth it to see and meet the new little cherub I have in front of me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been about 30 hours and already I\u2019m exhausted, sore and my nipples are on fire with a baby piranha that wants to kill me on them every few hours but I am of course elated!\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer has previously spoken about her struggles with IVF and said she had six rounds of treatment before baby number two.<\/p>\n

In another social media post she reflected on her first experience of birth and said it involved \u201c21 active hours of labour\u201d and \u201can emergency C-section that resulted in me not being able to walk properly for three months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known for songs including Picking Up The Pieces and New York, the singer has had five top 10 singles in the UK chart and six top 10 albums.<\/p>\n

Her most recent album, The Glorification Of Sadness, explored a break up and was released in 2024, more than a year following reports of her split from Lahcine.<\/p>\n
