Pop singer Lily Allen has lost the baby she was expecting with Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons.
The couple announced the pregnancy last December, saying they were “thrilled” but asked for privacy as “the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage”.
Today a spokesperson for Allen 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.”
Allen, 22, had just returned to London after a holiday in the Maldives with Simons, 37, when she suffered the miscarriage. The couple are reportedly devastated.
The singer made her name after posting her music on social networking site MySpace. Today, fans flooded her page with messages of support.
“I'm really sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you,” posted Connie.
“My deepest sympathy Lily. I’m really sorry to hear the bad news, hope you pick yourself up again soon,” wrote Mike.
Allen is due to release her second album and front a new BBC TV chat show this year.
She has previously said she wants to retire after completing her second album, having watched her film producer mother, Alison Owen, work hard while raising children.
“I love her and think she’s brilliant, but I don’t want to work as hard as she did to provide for us. That’s why I’ve always wanted to make lots of money early on.”
Allen, whose father is the actor Keith Allen, scored a No 1 hit with the track Smile in 2006. Her album Alright Still made it into the top three.
