Paloma Faith Dons Racy Lace Catsuit to Show Off Baby Bump

Paloma Faith showed off her blossoming bump in a black lace catsuit as she shared a racy pregnancy thirst trap on Friday.

The singer, 44, left fans in hysterics as she joked being pregnant in her forties has inspired a titillation.

Paloma posted photos comparing her previous pregnancies while showcasing her growing bump in the risqué ensembles.

She joked: ‘Who knew a pregnancy in my forties would inspire such…. Titillation! [sic]’

The hitmaker announced she was pregnant with her third child last month after being booted out of hit BBC show, Celebrity Traitors.

Paloma has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas, a managing director of venue The JamHouse, for a year. 

The star is already mum to two daughters, aged eight and four, with her ex Leyman Lahcine, who she split from in 2023 after nine years together. 

Paloma has been incredibly open about the heartbreaking fertility struggles she has faced over the years, after conceiving both her children through IVF.

Before welcoming her two children, Paloma went through six rounds of IVF treatment, during which she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a devastating miscarriage.

During the birth of her first child, following a successful second round of IVF, Paloma endured a horrific labour.

The artist had an emergency C-section which later led to fertility problems and post-partum psychosis, she revealed.

Paloma shed light on her difficult births on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast last year, as she said: ‘The birth was really difficult. It was actually unbearable…

‘It started with PROMS (Premature Rupture of Membranes) – You’re, sort of, in labour and that was only at six months pregnant, I think, and they were like You’re going to have to induce, you’re going to have a premature baby…

‘I was really defiant I was going to have that, so I was just in bed rest and downing four litres of water a day for a month to replenish the lost waters.’

On the traumatic time and her severe lack of sleep, she said: ‘After 21 hours in labour and no sleep for a week. I had seven hours of sleep in seven days…

‘I had an emergency cesarean which later on caused me fertility problems as well, and then a bit of post-partum psychosis because of lack of sleep so I was, like, hallucinating. Probably depressed for a couple of years without realising…

‘Later I wanted a second child and then I had three failed transfers. The fourth one worked and I was just so, kind of, headstrong about it.’

Paloma also spoke of the time she suffered a miscarriage on the set of 2019 Pennyworth, in which she played sociopath Bet Sykes.

She explained that while filming a fight scene, she realised she was miscarrying but insisted on carrying on with filming for fear of losing her job, saying: ‘I would just be going home without work and without a viable pregnancy.’ 

On keeping her miscarriage secret at work, Paloma said: ‘[The miscarriage] started at work and it was a fight scene on Pennyworth. I just thought to myself, “It’s gone so I might as well carry on with what I was doing.” I had to go to the toilet nine times…

‘I told them I ate something bad last night because I knew if I told them they would escort me home. I didn’t want to. I would just be going home without work and without a viable pregnancy.’

In her and ex-husband Leyman’s quest to have a baby prior to welcoming their girls, Paloma said the IVF rounds were ‘harrowing’.

She said: ‘It’s so harrowing doing it and it’s always in the background. Nobody knows it’s happening. We had some issues…

‘I knew quite quickly there were problems and then found out the beginning of our fertility treatment was because it was on his side there were those problems but thanks to modern science and the patriarchy, it still falls on the woman.’

She then shed light on her ectopic pregnancy, which is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.

She said: ‘I then had an ectopic pregnancy with the first one then my fertility starts going because I’ve had one tube damaged.

‘The second time worked, so I was lucky because I actually ended up with two viable pregnancies quite quickly.’
