Paloma Faith has finally confirmed she has split from partner of nine years Leyman Lahcine.
The singer, 42, – who married the French artist, 36, in 2017 – shared snaps from a recent ‘single mum’ holiday on Sunday as she broke her silence on the divorce since rumors of it started last November.
Paloma has two daughters, aged five and two, with Leyman with whom she spent quality time during the Mallorcan trip.
Documenting some snippets of her time away, she shared a sizzling photo in a pink bikini as she soaked up the sun and showed off her toned figure.
The two-piece had the phrase “father, son, holy spirit” on it as she stirred up a storm for the snap.

She wrote: ‘Just got back from a holiday in Majorca where I realized I speak ‘survival Spanish’ (not bad considering I didn’t grow up with my dad speaking Spanish to me).
“I can fly on my own with two kids alone, that I love the company of my kids, but it’s easier with others around, that I’ve been blessed in countless ways and will always be grateful.
“Everything can wait (needed to learn this), that nothing has to be stressful as it often gets (stress builds up) and that I should probably live in a place with a warmer climate (who’s coming?).”
She then added the telling hashtags: “#singlemum #palomafaith #mallorca #helpfromfriends #family #summerholiday #mumlife #workaholic.”
According to The sunThe Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmaker told friends she was single at Jonathan Ross’ Halloween party last November, where she was the “life and soul of the bash.”
A source also told the publication, “Paloma and Leyman have ended their relationship and she is very single.”
“Things between Paloma and Leyman have become tense over the past year and they are no longer together – although they are raising their children together.”

The source said that despite the heartbreak, Paloma seemed happy and cheerful during Jonathan’s Halloween party.
“Everyone was happy to see her so happy after a difficult few months,” they added.
MailOnline has reached out to Paloma representatives for comment at the time.
The couple began dating in early 2013 and were said to have secretly married in 2017.
As rumors of a breakup circulated, it was noted that the couple no longer followed each other on Instagram, and early last year the singer and actress revealed that she was in the middle of a personal life crisis.
She previously admitted that she had a “crisis” in her personal life in January 2022 and gets “anxiety” from “being around people.”
The talented star shared a selfie at the time, explaining her absence from social media and assuring fans that she is working on new music.
She wrote: ‘I haven’t (sic) posted much here because I’ve had a few crises in my personal life.
“But I want you all to know that I’m grateful to all of you and I’m writing new music, and working on a lot of stuff as well.
“But I’m in the middle of what can only be described as a clusterf**k. It’s music and writing and working that keeps me going!
“Besides, food for thought, you never hear a man described as a ‘career man,’ do you? I’ve been described as a ‘career woman’ so many times and it just hit me.’
Earlier that year, Paloma defended her choice to keep her children “out of the public eye” while juggling her career with parenthood.
In an interview with SheerLuxe, she said: ‘I’m quite spontaneous, but parenting has taken a lot of that away. I’ve surrendered to it now, because I know having kids was my choice, but I also know that the idea of ”having it all” is a complete illusion.

Paloma explained that it can be “emotionally difficult” for mothers to juggle a career with parenthood because of “guilt” and that it requires “sacrifice.”
She continued, “I don’t believe in gender-specific toys or clothes. I mean, I don’t wear a dress every day, so why not let my child wear whatever they want or play with toys they like?
“If one of my children came to me without knowing their gender, I would support her. It’s such a complicated issue, and I don’t know if I would encourage full gender reassignment before the age of 21, but I would encourage them to embrace who they are.”
Paloma added that she “didn’t want to perpetuate stereotypes,” as she joked that it’s important for both a man and a woman to vacuum the house.
