Star ‘can't remember' how many abortions she's had: ‘Pregnant all the time'

News.com.au03-07-2025
Mother-of-two Lily Allen has candidly admitted that she 'can't remember' how many abortions she's had.
'I'd get pregnant all the time, all the time,' the 'Smile' singer revealed on Tuesday's episode of her podcast.
'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.'
The singer called her use of contraception a 'complete disaster area' before her co-host, Miquita Oliver, chimed in, adding that she's had 'about five, too'.
'Lily, I'm so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment,' the TV personality, 41, continued.
'We've had about the same amount of abortions.'
Allen, 40, shared one of her experiences, saying: 'I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic.'
The popstar's opinion, however, later changed.
'I don't think it's generous or romantic,' she said, claiming that the man never messaged her afterwards.
'Fair [to be honest], I was a f**ken crazy bitch, still am,' Allen quipped.
The 'Hard Out There' songstress shares kids Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper, whom she was married to from 2011 to 2018.
She then tied the knot with 'Stranger Things' star David Harbour, 50, in 2020. However, news broke in February that the two reportedly called it quits.
That same month, the actor stepped out with 27-year-old model Ellie Fallon in Georgia after they were allegedly spotted on a trip to India for New Year's, per the Daily Mail.
While the duo hasn't publicly commented on their reported break-up, Harbour has dodged questions about it.
In April, he told GQ Magazine that he was 'protective of the people and the reality of [his] life'.

Millie Bobby Brown and husband Jake Bongiovi announce surprise personal news

Millie Bobby Brown and husband Jake Bongiovi have stunned fans by announcing the arrival of their first child, a baby girl. The Stranger Things star, 21, and the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, 23, who married in a lavish wedding in Italy May last year, released a joint statement on Instagram revealing they were new parents to a daughter via adoption. 'This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,' their statement read. 'We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.' The couple signed off the message with, 'And then there were 3. Love Millie and Jake Bongiovi.' Brown and Bongiovi didn't disclose their daughter's name. The former child star switched off the comment section of the post, as fans flooded other avenues of social media congratulating the pair. 'Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are setting a good example for rich young couples. I love this! Adoption is so important,' one fan wrote. 'Adoption love stories always warm the heart,' another wrote. 'I love that they're taking the adoption route i wish more young couple will do this too... happy for them,' a third shared. The UK actress and Bongiovi, a model, began dating in 2021, before announcing their engagement two years later. The couple are based in Georgia in the US. Just months ago, Brown opened up about wanting to be a young mum on the SmartLess podcast. 'My mum actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. This has been my thing since before I met Jake,' said in March. 'I wanted to be a mum just like the way my mum was to me. 'Of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family for me, personally.' Brown first shot to fame aged 12 playing the character Eleven in the smash hit Netflix series. The young star has frequently opened up over her discomfort at being sexualised in her teens as she ventured into adulthood. On her 16th birthday, she shared a statement, 'There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualisation and unnecessary insults that have ultimately resulted in pain and insecurity for me.' She has continued to speak out about negative commentary surrounding her evolving appearance. Earlier this year, Brown shared a video statement slamming media coverage about her looks as 'bullying'. 'I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can't seem to grow with me,' she said. 'Disillusioned people can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. 'I refuse to apologise for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can't handle seeing a girl become a woman. 'I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself.'

Prince William, Kate Middleton break royal tradition in new home

As Prince William and Kate Middleton move into a 'forever home', the royal couple have broken tradition. Earlier this week, news broke the pair will relocate to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park with their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. The eight-bedroom property is worth about £16 million ($A32 million), Page Six reports. The Wales family has been residing at Adelaide Cottage, located near Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England. Insiders told The Sun they are hoping for a 'fresh start' after a difficult time at Adelaide Cottage, during which Queen Elizabeth II died, and Kate and King Charles were diagnosed with cancer. William and Kate are paying for the move and rent at no extra cost to the taxpayer, it is understood. Unlike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they splashed £2.4 million ($A4.29 million) of taxpayers' money on Frogmore Cottage, Wills and Kate are funding all renovations themselves and will have no live-in staff. The Sussexes later paid back the money before being evicted by Charles. Work has already started on minor internal and external renovations at Forest Lodge — and the Waleses aim to be in by Christmas. The home offers spectacular views and football-mad William will be able to see the Wembley Arch from his bedroom window. And Kate has already been spotted picking new furniture to fit out the new abode, including a 24-seater table. The freehold is owned by the King in care of The Crown Estate. Forest Lodge was last renovated in 2001 at a cost of £1.5 million ($A3.1 million) and went on the rental market for £15,000 ($A31,000) a month. The most recent tenants have bought a new property and moved out. The Daily Mail previously reported the Wales family was moving because they had 'outgrown' their current home. William and Kate were previously reported to be offered the keys to Royal Lodge. Andrew, who moved into the mansion in 2004, has refused to move, after taking on a 'cast-iron lease' that lasts until 2078. Another plan to move the family into a wing of Windsor Castle also seems to be off the table. William and Kate relocated their family into Adelaide Cottage in 2022. They moved there to be close to the children's Lambrook School. Before living in the four-bedroom home, the Waleses lived in a lavish 20-room Kensington Palace apartment, which has been dubbed a 'prison for kids'. The family lived in Apartment 1A from 2017 to 2022, and Kate and William still use it as their official office.

Former royal staffer reveals ‘funny' Kate's cheeky private dig at William

IN LONDON Kate's cheeky jab at Prince William during a private moment while they were in the early phases of their relationship has been revealed. Former butler Grant Harrold, who worked for then-Prince Charles at Highgrove House from 2004 until 2011, opened up about his time with the couple ahead of the release of his memoir, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, next week. 'I remember we were all sitting at the kitchen [bench], just chatting away, talking about getting older,' Harrold told 'William was directly across from me and Kate was to my side. I remember saying, 'I think the [worst] thing is when you get older is going grey and getting bald, from a man's point of view.'' At that remark, he recalled, 'Kate burst out laughing'. 'I hadn't realised what I'd said, and she burst out laughing, and William said, 'thanks, mate'. Because he'd started receding.' A laughing Kate then told Harrold: 'Well done, Grant.' Of course, she'd later go on to become the Princess of Wales, but Harrold's first introduction to William's new girlfriend was a very low-key affair, with the prince calling her his 'friend' during the meeting. 'It was William's 'friend' – and she was lovely,' he recalled. 'She was very softly spoken, a beautiful smile, just a beautiful girl. The thing I liked about her was that whenever she'd come to Highgrove, she'd always come and say hello [to me] and not just disappear. 'She'd come into the kitchen and the pantries and the staffrooms, she was just lovely and at ease … You could talk about anything, and I loved that. You could joke with her and she was ever so funny.' William and Kate, having met while both attending St Andrews University, started dating in 2002 before briefly breaking up and later reuniting in 2007. The following year, Kate was invited to celebrate her future father-in-law's 60th birthday – joining a star-studded guest list which included actors, singers, and other VIPs. 'I remember as people were arriving in the marquee, there was beautiful Kate standing there on her own, and nobody was talking to her,' Harrold claimed. 'So myself and my friend went over and were chatting, because we didn't want her standing on her own … It seemed a shame.' Shortly afterwards, 'William appeared and then took over, and that's when it was very noticeable that they were together. The two of them walked away and sat down together.' Harrold also admitted he was relieved when the 'lovely' couple reunited, as he'd been 'worried' when they broke up. 'I liked the idea of this couple, because they were so nice [together],' he explained. 'I know it sounds silly but I couldn't imagine them being with somebody else, and because I'd got to know them, I just thought it would be sad. [Back then], I thought – she's the perfect future queen.' Thankfully, Harrold's hope that they'd end up together panned out. In October 2010, William proposed to his girlfriend in Kenya, with the happy pair announcing their engagement to the world the following month. William and Kate tied the knot in a lavish royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in April 2011, which was watched on by tens of millions of people all over the world. The couple is now parents to Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
