Singer Paloma Faith has finally revealed the gender of her three year-old after raising her child as gender-neutral.

The 38 year-old gave birth in December 2016 but has only now unveiled she has a daughter with her long-term partner Leyman Lahcine.

She referred to her child with female pronouns in an interview with Giovanna Fletcher on the ‘Happy Mum Happy Baby’ podcast about the difficulties of motherhood.

But she has no intention of revealing her child’s name because she wants to keep her personal life private.

She announced she was raising her child gender-neutral in 2018 in order to avoid damaging stereotypes.

At the time she said: “I’m just raising my child to be who they are. I don’t differentiate gender because I don’t believe you should to a young child.”

When asked about raising her child as gender-neutral and how she keeps her child away from the limelight, she told Fletcher: “I had people calling me a child abuser online for saying that. 

"Which was weird. And I think that's sort of part and parcel of why I didn't want that information out, and I still sort of withhold that.

“So if I'm with my child in public and someone comes over and asks to have their picture taken with me I never do it. At this moment my child has no idea that I'm famous or different from anyone else.

“She does know I'm on TV because she's seen it, but she has no concept that that makes people treat me differently. And sometimes somebody might come over and say something to me and she'll say, why are they doing that?

“And I'll say, 'They like mummy's singing'. But I don't really make it into a thing, like, there's people like me who are really special. Because it's absolute nonsense. It is just my job.”
