Paloma Faith has reportedly split from Leyman Lahcine, her partner of nine years.
The popstar is said to have confirmed that she’s now single while partying at Jonathan Ross’ annual Halloween bash.
A source said: ‘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.’
They added to The Sun: ‘Things between Paloma and Leyman became strained over the past year and they’re no longer together – although they co-parent their children together. Everyone was pleased to see her so happy after a tough few months.’
Paloma and Leyman first started dating in 2013 and have two daughters together, who are five and one.

It’s thought that the pair tied the knot in 2017 but they have never confirmed it.
While they’ve kept their family life pretty private, Paloma previously opened up about advice her mum gave her.
‘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,’ she said.
‘I’m in that place now. Leyman is my husband. You don’t need a marriage certificate,’ she added to the Sunday People.

Paloma was previously married to Rian Haynes, from 2005 to 2009.
Recently, the star has been open about the ups and downs of motherhood, describing her struggles with breastfeeding.
Paloma ended up in hospital after complications arose, which led to her eventually moving her daughter onto bottle feeding instead.
She explained: ‘After a bout back in hospital with an infection (sepsis), I ended up exclusively pumping, and now she’s exclusively formula fed.
‘She still has some nipple aversion problems I can’t identify. She clamps her mouth shut and will only split feed, taking little amounts at a time. It’s exhausting. But it’s less exhausting than if she was doing it to my boob.
‘So I am so happy that all the options are available because without them we would both be miserable.’
Paloma addressed the pressure many mothers feel to breastfeed despite it not always working, adding: ‘Coming from a person who has done both I just want to say that sometimes it just doesn’t work, that’s no reflection on you as a mother.’
Reps for Paloma Faith declined to comment when contacted by Metro.co.uk.
