Paloma Faith sparks outrage after declaring baby will | UK News

Paloma Faith shared a post to her TikTok followers exhibiting a faux gender reveal where she declared her baby will determine their own gender. In a mocking tone, the Traitors star said, while holding a pink and blue balloon: “It’s my gender reveal post, is it gonna be a boy, or is it gonna be a girl? I want all of you to know!” She then let the balloons go into the air and said deadpan: “Does it really matter? It’s 2026. Do we even give a s**t about gender anymore?” 

She then raged: “It’ll be whatever it wants to be when it’s old enough to decide its own identity.” She then told her followers that if they don’t seem to be offended by the post then they’re “cool” and ought to come to her show. However, an inflow of people who considered the post have been enraged as she called people “transphobic, homophobic p****s”.

Her followers rushed to the feedback to weigh in, with one consumer writing: “And just like that I stopped supporting her.” Another wrote: “Lost me there.”

Others shared their help and told her that everybody “needs a parent like Paloma”. But as the video continued to gain more traction, people soon took to sharing it on X along with their ideas, as one consumer wrote: “Paloma Faith is PATHETIC. Saying she’s not doing a gender reveal for her baby, and that the child will decide its own gender when it’s old enough.”

Another replied in the feedback and said the baby was a “political pawn” and “accessory”, while another wrote: “Using an unborn child for political gain is just too much.”

A 3rd fumed: “I feel sorry for that child already – will be raised as a “assertion” for her to virtue signal with, instead of just being allowed to be a child.”

Support did flood in as effectively on Paloma’s unique post, with one particular person saying it was their “favourite gender reveal post ever”, and another writing: “Iconic behaviour”. However, her post actually divided viewers general.

The singer announced that she was pregnant with her third little one in October last 12 months, beforehand admitting issues as she wrote on Instagram: “Pregnancy at 44. Ngl that’s a bit worrying but I’m trying to pretend to myself I’m calm so that eventually comes true. I couldn’t be more happy about another baby and I’m bracing myself for the storm…”
