Singer-songwriter Paloma Faith recently opened up about her life in her new book Milf: Motherhood, Identity Love and F***ery, which will release on Thursday, June 6, 2024. The Sun reported that in a portion of the book shared with them by the singer, Faith wrote how she was initially afraid of being lonely.
"I have realised something about myself. I was convinced I was terrified of loneliness. I was convinced I would not feel whole unless I attached myself to a couple, a team, a unit."
She added,
"My children are still so small and require so much. I may change my mind of course but for the first time in my life I relish the silences alone after the children go to bed, the prospect of eating in bed, of sleeping without another body waking me."

In March Faith told The Independent that having children changed their lives which eventually led to the divorce.
"You either grow together, adapting to one another like expandable foam and filling the gaps where it’s empty–or one person grows and the other stays the same."
