Lily Allen Pregnant With Chemical Brother’s Child

Lily Allen reveals she is pregnant with Chemical Brother Ed Simons's child.

Outspoken pop songstress Lily Allen has announced that she’s expecting a child with Chemical Brothers boyfriend Ed Simons.

The 22-year-old revealed that she had known of the pregnancy for over a month but only told close family, including her Robin Hood star and serial child-producing father Keith Allen.

The singer, who’s been dating 37-year-old Ed since September, is said to be over the moon, having made no secret of wanting to start a family. Likewise, Simons has expressed his happiness following the news.

Lily’s publicist has asked that the media respect her privacy as the health of her child is paramount, which also seems to rule out her infamous late nights spent in London nightclubs (or being carried out of them in a bag). She is due to go ahead with plans to release a new album next year as well as front her own BBC3 show ‘Lily Allen And Friends’.

Ed Simons, meanwhile has announced no such plans. The Chemical Brothers’ explosive world tour will continue in February 2008 in Australia and the boys will be back gigging in the UK in the summer, perhaps with an ear-covered mini-chemical in tow.
