Lily Allen Admits She ‘Can’t Remember’ How Many Abortions She’s Undergone

Lily Allen got real about her experiences with abortions — but couldn’t pinpoint how many she’s had.

“I’d get pregnant all the time, all the time,” Allen, 40, said during the Tuesday, July 1, episode of her “Miss Me?” podcast.

The “Somewhere Only We Know” singer then mused, “Abortions, I’ve had a few, but then again, I can’t remember exactly how many. I think maybe like, I want to say five, four or five.”

Allen’s “Miss Me?” podcast cohost, Miquita Oliver, noted that she’d had “about five, too.” Oliver, 41, felt some relief after she and Allen were able to be so open.

“Lily, I’m so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment,” Oliver added. “We’ve had about the same amount of abortions.”

Allen, who shares Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper, proceeded to share one of her past experiences with listeners.

“I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic,” Allen said with a laugh, noting her opinions have since changed.

“I don’t think it’s generous or romantic,” she confirmed. “How much is it, like, 500 quid? Kids are a lot more expensive.”

Allen recalled the aforementioned guy not “texting her after” she got the abortion despite paying for it. “Fair [to be honest], I was a f***ing crazy bitch, still am,” she quipped.

Allen revealed that she’s since gotten better at using contraceptives. “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.”

Allen didn’t give any context as to when she had any of her abortions, but she became a mom for the first time in November 2011 with the birth of daughter Ethel. Her and Cooper’s second daughter, Marnie, was born in January 2013.

Allen and Cooper, 47, were married from 2011 to 2018. The singer moved on with David Harbour, whom she wed in 2020.

Allen sparked split speculation in December 2024 when the Daily Mail reported that she was on the dating app Raya. In February, Harbour, 50, was spotted at the Critics Choice Awards and the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special without his wedding ring on, fueling breakup rumors.

Allen hinted at the split that same month during an episode of her podcast, revealing she’d recently been in a treatment program for an unknown reason.

“I just feel very grateful to have been given the time and the space that I needed,” she said in February. “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.”

In April, Harbour was asked about the rumors surrounding his relationship with Allen while speaking with GQ Hype.

“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,” the Stranger Things actor responded.

Harbour concluded that he didn’t want to encourage a “salacious s***show of humiliation.”
