Paloma Faith has given some relationship advice to the Glastonbury Festival audience following an audience singalong of her track Sweatpants, as she revealed the heartbreaking reason why she left her husband.
Performing barefoot, Paloma told the crowd at the iconic Pyramid Stage that the “key to looking OK is loneliness” after saying she had youthful looks at the age of 42.
She then added that the reason she looked older previously was down to her marriage. Paloma continued: "Because I looked a bit older when I was in a relationship with someone I resented. And I was sitting in the house… like stewing, just like (thinking) ‘Oh you irritate me so much that I have to tell you everything today’.”
Paloma then hit out at dating apps and blamed them for making it difficult for people to find their perfect partner, rather than be a way of enabling this to happen. She said: "Try and stay together, but it’s the resentment that’s the problem. So all I’m asking, this is a plea, I’m talking about (heterosexual) men, if you are married… and I just want you to notice that if a woman does the same action every single day, it means it needs doing, so don’t wait to ask to do it, just do it.”
The singer, 42, split up from husband Leyman Lahcine after a decade in 2022 and shares a seven-year-old daughter and three-year-old daughter with him. She has been struggling to balance co-parenting with him all while working on her very successful music career as a single woman.

"I don't believe we can have it all," she recently said. The star went on to admit she has been feeling 'a bit disgruntled about society's expectation on women'.
Paloma explained that women were told that they could 'work and have your own money and independence while raising children' but have instead ended up dealing with 'far too much responsibility'. The songstress continued: "I think a lot of women are burning out."
Speaking to the Radio Times, she added: "Parenting is a full-time job. If you're also CEO of your own business like I am, then I'm meant to delegate to my partner, but that's a full-time job because they've not got any initiative. Paloma added that it is tiring as you have to 'sacrifice something' all the time.
