Paloma Faith has been admitted to the hospital after falling ill with Flu A during her pregnancy.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old vocalist, currently 23 weeks along with her third child, posted an image from Homerton Hospital showing herself wearing a nebuliser mask to aid her breathing.<\/p>\n

“Thanks Homerton Hospital for nebulising me for flu,” the Celebrity Traitors star wrote on social media on Sunday, accompanying the post with Toni Braxton’s track Breathe Again. (sic)<\/p>\n

This will be her first baby with boyfriend Stevie Thomas, a managing director at Birmingham music venue The JamHouse.<\/p>\n

Hours after her hospital update, Ms Faith shared black and white photographs displaying her growing bump alongside a candid admission about her age.<\/p>\n

“Pregnancy at 44. Ngl that’s a bit worrying but I’m trying to pretend to myself I’m calm so that eventually that comes true,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t be more happy about another baby and I’m bracing myself for the storm….”<\/p>\n

The post drew supportive responses from fellow celebrities, with comedian Alan Carr leaving three red heart emojis and actress Sheridan Smith commenting: “Love this.”<\/p>\n

“Your so beautiful,” penned This Morning’s Alison Hammond, while former Strictly star Vicky Pattison weighed in: “Congratulations beautiful.” (sic)<\/p>\n

When announcing her pregnancy in October, Ms Faith had used hashtags including #morethangeriatricpregnancy and #oappregnancy.<\/p>\n

Ms Faith has been in a relationship with Mr Thomas for approximately a year, with reports emerging earlier this year that the pair were dating after he accompanied her to a Brit Awards afterparty.<\/p>\n

The singer already has two daughters from her previous nine-year relationship with Leyman Lahcine.<\/p>\n

Her first child arrived in December 2016, followed by a second daughter in February 2021.<\/p>\n

Ms Faith and Mr Lahcine separated in 2023, with the performer later reflecting on how motherhood changed her needs within the relationship.<\/p>\n

“Becoming a mother was such a massively life-changing experience that for the first time in my life, I needed more than nothing,” she previously explained, adding that their relationship ultimately ended because of having children, which she considered “worth it.”<\/p>\n

Ms Faith has spoken openly about her challenging path to motherhood, having conceived both her existing children through IVF treatment.<\/p>\n

Before welcoming her daughters, she underwent six rounds of IVF, experiencing both an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage.<\/p>\n

The latter occurred while filming the television series Pennyworth in 2019, where she played the character Bet Sykes.<\/p>\n

The birth of her first child proved particularly traumatic. <\/p>\n

After experiencing premature rupture of membranes at six months, Ms Faith spent a month on bed rest before enduring 21 hours of labour with minimal sleep.<\/p>\n

“I had seven hours of sleep in seven days,” she recalled, explaining that an emergency caesarean followed, which subsequently caused fertility complications and post-partum psychosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paloma Faith has been admitted to the hospital after falling ill with Flu A during her pregnancy.
