Paloma Faith has landed in hot water after uploading a photo of herself in a revealing swimsuit while on vacation.
The singer, 42, jetted out to Majorca with her children for the first time since announcing her divorce from spouse Leyman Lahcine, 36.
She posted a plethora of bright photographs from her vacation on her Instagram profile, including one that several fans found insulting.
Paloma sits on a sunbed in a small pink bikini among photos of great cuisine and lovely cathedrals.
The words ‘father’ and’son’ are written across the chest, while ‘holy spirit’ is written on the front of the bikini bottoms.
Some of her 735,000 followers were shocked by the ‘blasphemous’ bikini and expressed their fury in the comments area.
‘As a Christian I think that bikini is actually a bit offensive. Just too much,’ one person wrote.
Another responded to the comment, adding: ‘As an atheist I sympathise with your sentiments. The wording on the bikini is not necessary and is provocative. As a role model Paloma needs to consider this and do better.’
‘I don’t love the word placement on your bikini. It’s tacky and disrespectful,’ another said.
Others, however, disagreed with the assessment and praised the actor for the film.
One user wrote: ‘I love the bathing suit …. A woman’s body is holy enough to create life … Babies what is more blessed by God than that … I see the bathing suit as a outward sign to respect a woman’s body 🙌’
Some people also commented on how she was “smashing” single parenthood after revealing her divorce.
Paloma reiterated these thoughts in the post’s caption, describing how she’single-handedly’ battled a flight with her children and how she feels ‘fortunate in a million ways’ following the break.
She wrote: ‘Just got back from holidays in Mallorca where I realised I speak “survival Spanish” (not bad considering I wasn’t raised with my dad speaking to me in Spanish), that I can single-handedly do a flight with two kids alone, that I love the company of my kids but it’s easier with others around, that I am blessed in a million ways and will always be grateful, that everything can wait (needed to learn this), that nothing needs to be a stressful as it often becomes (stress is accumulative) and that I probably should live in a place with a warmer climate (who’s coming?).’
Rumours that the singer and French artist had split up first appeared in November 2022.
The couple married in 2017 and have two children, their first daughter born in 2016, and their second daughter due in 2021.
She marked the New Year with a candid post about 2022 being ‘s**t’ and declaring herself a ‘broken woman’.
Now, she has confirmed she is a ‘single mum’ with her holiday post as she hashtagged the post: ‘singlemum #palomafaith #mallorca #helpfromfriends #family #summerholiday #mumlife #workaholic.’
