Is Paloma Faith raising her child gender neutral?

The singer didn't reveal the gender or name of her first baby for over three years.

In July 2020 Paloma was forced to clarify whether she is raising her three-year-old daughter gender neutral, after finally revealing her child is a girl.

Paloma had initially kept the gender of her child under wraps, which left many wondering she was raising her daughter gender neutral.

But she has now revealed she just wanted to keep the baby's life private and said she was "misunderstood" and does call her child a girl.

What has Paloma Faith said about people thinking she was raising her child gender neutral?

Speaking to Radio Times, Paloma said: "I was misunderstood – the media reported that I wasn't dictating gender stereotypes.
"True, I don't encourage gender rigidity with toys, but really, I was traumatised by the birth and protective of our privacy.
"I wanted her to develop into herself before the world decided who she was. I felt like a lioness. She makes me look at the world in a way I've neglected for a long time."
