British pop sensation Lily Allen dropped a bombshell on the “Radio Times” podcast, revealing that having children “ruined” her career. With a chuckle, the 38-year-old admitted her kids, Ethel Mary and Marnie Rose, threw a wrench in her pop star ambitions. But is she onto something or just blowing off steam?
Allen skyrocketed to fame with hits like “Smile” in 2006 but says her offspring put the brakes on her musical journey. Laughing, she dismissed the idea of “having it all,” asserting it’s a myth.
Citing her own childhood experiences with absent parents in showbiz, Lily Allen explained her choice to prioritize family over fame. She’s determined not to repeat the mistakes of her upbringing. Is her decision to prioritize family over fame a bold move or a career killer?
Despite the setback, Allen’s proud of her decision, believing her children are well-rounded individuals. As the daughter of actor Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, family values run deep.
In a surprising turn, Allen announced her own podcast, “Miss Me?” set to debut soon. Despite her music hiatus, she’s explored acting and activism, reflecting the changing tides.
Her 2018 album, “No Shame,” might be in the rearview, but Allen’s not done yet. She’s keeping her creative flame alive with talks of concept albums and musicals.
Married to “Stranger Things” star David Harbour, Allen has found balance in her personal life, even as she navigates the highs and lows of fame. But is family life really the key to happiness, or is she just playing the hand she’s been dealt?
