Paloma Faith defends her decision to keep her child's sex secret

Since the birth of her first child in 2016, Paloma Faith has decided to keep the name and bad of the baby secret.

The 37-year-old Londoner defended her decision as she spoke after being named star of Skoda's I Gotta Be Me campaign – for which she also posed for a breathtaking photo shoot.

Paloma, who became famous with his hit hit Stone Cold Sober, claimed that children would be better off in adulthood if they violated society's rules regarding what is considered acceptable behavior by children. men and women.

The singer also admitted that she would be happy if one of his sons wears a dress so that he can learn to ignore gender boundaries.

She explained, "I raise my child from the way I was raised. This is one of the main reasons why I am successful as I am.

"I've been brought up so that everything is possible and that gender is not a problem when it comes to becoming what I want to be."

"If I had a son and he was starting to tell me," I want to wear this dress, "I do not see why it's a problem at this point in his life."

The singer, who hosted her first child in December 2016 with French artist Leyman Lahcine, said it's not because a child makes a sartorial decision that it does not mean that 39, he will not change one day.

Paloma announced that she was pregnant in August 2016 in an Instagram post.

The message said, "I'm glad to tell you that I'm going to take a little time to have a baby. I've spent my whole life wanting to be a mother and the time has come for me to do it. I feel so lucky. & # 39;

Now, more than two years after the birth of her child, she explained how she would let her child decide what he wanted to be.

She said, "That does not mean that in 20 years, he will always want to wear a dress. You go through phases and we have to accept that … I think we have to let your child decide. There is nothing wrong with all this.

"As a child, my favorite toys were Lego. I hated dolls. I thought they were awful. I cried while watching them.

The Brit Award winner also said that gender policy meant that young women in the music industry, despite the resurgence of feminism, were still forced to present a bady image to succeed.

She added, "There are still a lot of women who think that it's still necessary to pull out their kit to sell records, especially with social media.

"I think it's tragic. I think people have been sold a crazy idea that you take back your baduality. I do not think that's true.

"I think there's a difference between doing it sometimes and the fact that it's every message you've written, and every video, and the moment it's unrelated to the subject of the song."

Paloma is currently the face of Skoda's I Gotta Be Me campaign, which helps celebrate the individuality of a person alongside Kingdom Chorus, Lady Leshurr, Alexis Ffrench and Sherlocks.
