We’re sending huge congratulations to Paloma Faith this afternoon following the birth of her first child.
The mum-of-one took to Instagram to thank the NHS staff following a difficult labour which resulted in a caesarean section.
“After a difficult labour resulting in an emergency caesarean I gave birth to my first child whom I am over the moon, in love and delighted,” the 35-year-old wrote in a lengthy post captioned: “God bless the NHS!!! #angelsonearth #iamamother”
Praising hospital staff for their “kindness and commitment”, the former The Voice judge continued:
“I really believe the NHS to be one of the great achievements of the country and it should be respected and protected by all.
“I am humbled by the unfaltering dedication I witnessed and received there.”
Paloma has yet to reveal if she welcomed a boy or a girl and the fact she wishes to keep her private and public life separate it is unlikely she will share any further details with the public anytime soon.
The Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer, who is in a long-term relationship with French artist Leyman Lahcine, said that she will be taking some time off work to concentrate on her family.
“I am so delighted to tell you I am going to take a short while off to have a baby. I have spent my whole life wanting to be a mother and now the time has come for me to do so. I feel so lucky."
Aw, we’re delighted for her and Leyman.
