The ‘Fall to Grace’ singer clears up rumors suggesting that she’s raising her daughter gender-neutral, claiming her comments about parenting were ‘misunderstood.’
AceShowbiz –Paloma Faith has insisted she’s not raising her daughter gender neutral and her previous comments about gender identity beliefs were “misunderstood.”
The 38-year-old singer gave birth three years ago to a baby with partner Leyman Lahcine, but only recently revealed she had a girl. She had previously hit headlines after telling the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview, “I’m just raising my child to be who they are. I don’t differentiate gender because I don’t believe you should to a young child.”
However, in a new interview, she told the Radio Times that the remarks were taken the wrong way, as she explained, “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.”
Paloma’s admission comes just days after she revealed she and Leyman have been trying for another baby, but haven’t had much success.
