Lily Allen, 40, sat down for an episode of her podcast, Miss Me?, where she revealed that she would "get pregnant all the time" and that she's had multiple abortions over the years.
"Abortions, I've had a few. But then again, I can't remember exactly how many...I think maybe like, I want to say four or five," Allen said.
Her co-host, Miquita Oliver, revealed that she'd had "about five."
"I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic," Allen added in the Tuesday, July 1 episode. "I don't think it's generous or romantic," she said of what she thinks now. “How much is it, like, 500 quid? Kids are a lot more expensive.”
Lily Allen has two kids, 12-year-old Marnie Rose and 13-year-old Ethel Mary. She shares he two with her former husband, Sam Cooper. The pair also had a son, George, who was stillborn, People Magazine has reported.

During her latest podcast episode, Lily Allen also lamented one of her former partners, who paid for the abortion, not “texting her after."
“Fair [to be honest], I was a f***ing crazy bitch, still am,” she said. She has since turned to IUDs as a form of contraception. “I have an IUD now. I think I’m on my third, maybe fourth,” she shared. “I just remember before that was a complete disaster area.”
Lily Allen was married to her first husband from 2011 to 2018, during which time they welcomed their kids. They eventually split up, and the singer moved on to Stranger Things actor David Harbour. They tied the knot in 2020, though four years later, they revealed they were divorcing.
As pointed out by Us Weekly, in February last year, Lily Allen hinted at getting treatment, though she did not disclose why.
"I just feel very grateful to have been given the time and the space that I needed,” she said at the time. “I went into a sort of treatment center for a few weeks, which was great. I did a lot of group therapy and some individual therapy, and I needed some time and space away from everything.”
That same month, Harbour was spotted with Ellie Fallon, a 27-year-old model. The two were seen in Georgia, and for New Year's Eve, were spotted in India, News.com.au has reported. At the same time, according to Live Mint, Lily Allen was struggling with the separation.
"She's devastated and not in a good place," an insider claimed. The divorce was also "very hard for her and her girls." They went on, "It's been a bad start to the new year, but Lily is tough. She's very good at prioritising herself when she has to."
In April, Harbour was probed about the status of his marriage during an interview with GQ Hype. At the time, he dodged the questions and replied ambiguously:
“I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life. There’s no use in that form of engaging [with rumors] because it’s all based on hysterical hyperbole,” he said of the rumors going around about his split. He noted that he didn't want to fuel a “salacious s***show of humiliation.”
