Paloma Faith has reportedly split from her partner Leyman Lahcine after nine years together.

Faith, 41, confirmed the split while attending Jonathan Ross’s Halloween Party with Alan Carr on October 31, according to a source.

The singer looked to be “living her best life” following her break-up as she partied away with Carr and friends at the event, reports have claimed.

Faith and Lahcine were speculated to have married in 2017, although the pair never officially addressed the rumours. They have two daughters aged five and one.

A source told The Sun: "Paloma and Leyman have ended their relationship and she is very much single.

“She was living her best life at Jonathan’s party and was the life and soul of the bash.

“Everyone wanted to be around Paloma and she made it clear she is ready to get back out there and start enjoying life.

"They’re no longer together – although they co-parent their children together."

Rumours of a split between the pair surfaced earlier this week, after Faith and Lahcine unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The Evening Standard has contacted Faith’s representatives for comment.

Faith spoke of being in the “middle of a personal life crisis” at the beginning of the year. This suggested possible cracks in her relationship with Lahcine.

She wrote on social media: "I haven’t been posting much on here because I’ve been having a few crisis in my personal life.

"But I want you all to know I’m grateful for you all and I’m writing new music, and working on loads of bits and bobs too.

"But I’m in the middle of what can only be described as a cluster f**k. It’s music and writing and working keeping me going!

"Also, food for thought, you never hear a man described as a ‘career man’ do you I’ve been described so many times as a ‘career woman’ and it just dawned on me.

"WTAF?! #careerman #careerwoman #workingmum #workingmama #palomafaith #lovemyjob”.

Speaking about her relationship previously, Faith referred to Lahcine as her “husband” when she said: "My mum said if you feel trapped, you’re in the wrong relationship but if you feel freer than when you’re single, you’ve met the right person.

"I’m in that place now. Leyman is my husband.”
