Paloma Faith insists she is raising her child to be gender neutral

After becoming a mum for the first time in December 2016, Paloma Faith has revealed that she is raising her child to be gender neutral.

The singer welcomed her first baby with French boyfriend, Leyman Lahcine, late last year – and while the pair announced their new arrival via Instagram, they have never revealed the child's name nor their gender.

Speaking at the Q Awards in London, the former judge of The Voice, explained why she chose not to reveal that information, while also admitting that she would love to have more kids in the future.

“I’m loving being a mum,” she said

“I want two or three kids in all and they’ll be gender neutral.”

She went on to say how she would never dress her children in stereotypical “boy/girl”colours such as pink and blue,” and instead insisted she just wanted then “to be who they want to be.”

The singer has often showed her support for gay rights and the feminist movement, and marched on International Women’s Day in London in 2015 to demand equality.

Her fourth album The Architect is out next month.
