The fans of Lily Allen were surprised by a statement from the British singer and actress this Tuesday (12). During an appearance on a podcast, she said that her two daughters Ethel Mary, 12, and Marnie Rose, 10, ruined her career in pop music.
“When it comes to my career, I never really have a strategy, but yes, my daughters have ruined my career,” Lily said, responding to a question about how motherhood has affected her work.
The singer noticed the look of astonishment on the Radio Times presenters’ faces and decided to lessen the impact of the statement. “I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, they ruined everything.”
Lily further explained that she preferred to prioritize her daughters because she didn’t want them to grow up with absent fathers, as she was raised. It really annoys me when people say you can have it all because, frankly, you can’t,” she said. “Some people choose their career over their children and that’s their prerogative,” she added.
The children are the result of the marriage of Lily Allen and businessman Sam Cooper. The two divorced in 2018. She is currently married to American actor David Harbour.
Lily was very successful in the 2000s, with the songs “Smile”, “Fuck You” and “22”. The singer’s latest album, “No Shame” was released in 2018.
