Who is Paloma Faith's partner Leyman Lahcine, what is his job and when did they have their baby?

But what does he do for a living? And when did they have a baby? Here's the lowdown…

Who is Leyman Lahcine?

Leyman Lahcine is a French artist, who was born in Grenoble in 1987.

He has travelled, lived and worked all over the world, but he spent a long time in New York before moving to London in 2014.

Leyman's quirky and imaginative art has been exhibited in New York and London.

He also regularly posts snaps of his work on Instagram.

How long has Leyman Lahcine been with Paloma Faith?

The happy couple have been dating since early 2013, meaning they have been together for almost five years.

The singer has insisted: "Leyman is my husband. You don't need a marriage certificate."

Paloma had previously been married to taxidermist Rian Hayes but they divorced in 2005, a year after their nuptials.

When did Paloma Faith and Leyman Lahcine have their baby?

In August 2016, Paloma announced she was expecting, writing on social media: "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."

The 36-year-old had made no secret of her desire to start a family, previously saying: "I've wanted a baby since I was 27."

Paloma announced that she'd welcomed her child on December 5, 2016, telling fans that she had had a difficult birth, requiring an emergency caesarean.

While Paloma is loving being a mother, she revealed back in August that childbirth had left her in agony and struggling to walk.

The singer still hasn't revealed the sex or name of her baby, announcing that she is raising her kids as "gender neutral". 

Did Paloma Faith and Leyman Lahcine secretly get married?

In November 2017, the Sun revealed they had heard the pop star tied the knot with her long-term partner during the summer.

But they had managed to keep the nuptials secret.

A source said: “It’s something Paloma wants to keep private. It was a very intimate and beautiful ceremony in London, with just close friends and family.

“But some of her friends in the industry have recently been talking about Paloma quietly getting married.”

Paloma, who has been dating Leyman for four years, sent the rumour mill into action when she stepped out with a sparkler on her finger.

The star, who was taking part in The Royal Variety Performance in front of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, appeared to be wearing the diamond ring in videos of the night.

But just hours earlier, it was nowhere to be seen as she celebrated new album The Architect going to No1.

The source said: “Paloma isn’t keen for people to know her news but she is extremely happy.”
