22 year-old British songstress Lily Allen is pregnant with her first child, at least according to questionable source The Sun. They say that Allen and her boyfriend of three months, Ed Simons from the group Chemical Brothers, 37, are expecting a baby and that they’re both looking forward to it. The happy couple supposedly told their friends and family.

POP star LILY ALLEN is all smiles after discovering she is pregnant with her first child, The Sun can reveal.

The 22-year-old singer found she was expecting last month, but has only revealed the news to close family.

She and CHEMICAL BROTHER boyfriend ED SIMONS, 37, are delighted.

A source close to the singer said: “Lily is thrilled to be pregnant and can’t wait to become a mum. She’s a real family person.

“Ed’s very happy. He is really looking after her.”

The Smile singer has been dating Ed – who is 15 years her senior – since September.

22 is pretty young to get pregnant, but Allen seems like she has a good head on her shoulders and she strikes me as the type that will make a great mom.

Allen has had some minor mishaps – she’s been photographed out drunk with her friends and once kicked a photographer, but she seems like a realistic person who is grateful for her success. On her blog on myspace she talks about how lucky and amazed she is at the good fortune she is having in life. It’s really refreshing to see that she doesn’t have a sense of entitlement or feel that success and luxury are somehow owed to her.

She’s only been with her boyfriend for a few short months, but I can see her making it all work. She recently said that she’s only going to do one more album and that after that she might want to retire to raise “chickens and pigs.” Maybe she’ll be raising children instead.

There was a big debate on the Jessica Alba post whether unmarried pregnant celebrities set a bad example for teen girls by having children too young and out of wedlock. You can certainly point a finger at Jamie Lynn Spears, the star of a show aimed at tweens, for getting pregnant at the tender age of 16, but five years makes a big difference, and I wouldn’t judge Allen for it if this news is true.

Lily Allen is shown outside the Chanel show in London on 12/6/07. Ed Simon is shown in a promo shot for the Chemical Brothers below.

Update: Allen has confirmed her pregnancy through her rep. She was photographed out smoking on 12/4/07, but her spokesperson says she wasn’t aware she was pregnant at that time.
