In some very sad news, Lily Allen has had a miscarriage in London, following a holiday in the Maldives with boyfriend/baby daddy Ed Simons. She and the Chemical Brother were expecting their first child.

Her spokesman said: “We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”

The miscarriage was initially reported in The Sun newspaper, which isn’t always the most accurate source, but was confirmed later by her rep. The newspaper also reports that Lily recently spoke of how much she was looking forward to being a mum.

She said: “I’ve looked forward to being stable my whole life. My parents are amazing, but it has been a whirlwind upbringing.

“I have got my eye on the prize, which is having kids and getting married and cooking dinner and doing homework with my children.”

Lily will make a great mum when she does have kids. Friends are describing the couple as shocked and heartbroken, and our feelings are with Lily and Ed at this difficult time. Losing a baby is awful.

Lily will soon be working on her BBC television show and new album, and The Chemical Brothers are touring this year.

Update by Celebitchy: The Daily Mail states that Allen was four months along in her pregnancy.
