She wrote: 'Feeling emotional today. Sorry I been distant. Not sure if you care but I do. I'm working really hard to get this right.

In a lengthy caption, she penned: '2025 you brought me another little angel in our lives. I am grateful. I have changed ALOT and learned ALOT this year. I am different. And that’s amazing. 

'My outlook is different. My personality is different. My face is different. My body is different. And I love it all. What a beautiful thing. Change. Scary but beautiful. I have met wonderful new people this year. I started adhd medication which made me less anxious and feel more confident and free. 

'I am so ready to enter 2026 as a mum of 2 and a whole new artist. I am grateful for everything in my life. I am grateful for you, for Henry the hoover, for peanut butter and for family (and way more stuff but can’t be bothered to write it out hahaha). 

'I hope you see change in 2026 for the better which I am SO SURE about. It might just possibly be the best year of our lives. Enjoy it and make plans and be excited to live in this crazy world. I’m glad i get to live it amongst you all. See you next year.'

Anne-Marie has been no stranger to opening up about her mental health including battles with anxiety and OCD, and her most recent single DEPRESSED documented how she handled dark, personal struggles.

She released the single in October after some extended time off, having given birth to daughter Seven in February 2024, and welcoming her son just over a year later in May 2025.

Admitting she had been nervous about the reception of the song after taking a step back from the limelight to focus on motherhood, she went on to discuss the birth of her second child with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.

Anne-Marie welcomed her second child in May, announcing the news with a series of sweet photos of their new addition lying in a hospital cot covered with a blanket.

The singer included a snap of her holding the tot's finger, her baby dressed in a bear-motif babygro, and the newborn lying in his hospital cot covered with a bear-print blanket.

She wrote: 'Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives. Hello everyone.'

While appearing on Capital ahead of the birth, Anne-Marie revealed she would be 'done' after her second baby as she will have both a girl and a boy.

She joked that the hardest part was deciding on a name for her song, saying: 'Probably choosing a name because Seven is so unique so we can't just call him Barry'.

The star also gave a health update as she admitted she had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes this time around.

'I’ve got gestational diabetes this time, though. So yeah, that’s annoying because I can’t eat cereal or bread,' she explained.

Gestational diabetes usually occurs in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and causes high blood sugar which can cause problem for both the mother and the baby.

Anne-Marie also confirmed she was having strange cravings this time as she added: 'The other day I really wanted to eat a steak and I’ve never eaten steak in my whole life.'

Her second pregnancy came after a difficult year between her and husband Slowthai, real name Tyron Kaymone Frampton.

The star announced the happy news just a short time after Tyron, 30, was acquitted of the rape of two women.

He was seen breaking down in tears as he and his co-accused Alex Blake-Walker, 27, were cleared of the allegations stemming from a 2021 gig in Oxford.

In court, the jury returned the verdicts after ten hours of deliberation following the two-week trial during, in which two defendants alleged they had been assaulted on September 8, 2021.

It was alleged that after Slowthai had performed at The Bullingdon music venue in Oxford on the evening of September 7, 2021, he met the two women and went along with them to a friend's house party alongside Blake-Walker.

The two women claimed they had been raped on the roof of the property - just Frampton was defiant the claims were 'not true' and the women were 'lying'.

Following the news, Anne-Marie opened up on the 'hardest year yet' and told fans 'God was trying to see how strong she was' as she appeared to address the allegations in an Instagram post.
