Isn’t it ironic how under today’s Moon in unpredictable Aquarius, secrets around reproductive adventures come bubbling to the surface just when you least expect it? Lily Allen, the ever-candid ‘Smile’ singer, has peeled back the curtain on her past, revealing she can’t quite recall how many abortions she’s had—somewhere around four or five, she estimates. Since parting ways with David Harbour in 2020 and celebrating five years of sobriety, Lily’s been surprisingly open about what life threw her way, from wild contraceptive journeys to the messy realities of reproductive health. On her podcast with Miquita Oliver, she described her uterus as a “complete disaster area,” and the two shared not just laughs but a striking solidarity over their experiences, discussing stigma and the right to simply say, “I don’t want a baby right now.” It sparks the question: in a universe filled with cosmic surprises, why should personal choices be shrouded in silence or shame? Dive into Lily’s refreshingly honest reflections as she sings her truths—quite literally—on her own way. LEARN MORE.
Lily Allen revealed that she can’t remember how many abortions she’s had in a candid discussion about her past relationships.
The ‘Smile’ singer, 40 has been opening up more and more about her life after calling it quits with her Stranger Things actor husband David Harbour, 50, in 2020.
She also revealed that she has been around five years sober after dealing with alcohol and drug struggles for a long time.
Allen has spoken a lot about her ex, and she’s also previously revealed what their relationship was like in the bedroom. But now, the mother-of-two is talking about her past, and reproductive health.
On her podcast with best friend Miquita Oliver, Miss Me?, the singer called her uterus a ‘complete disaster area’, telling her friend that she would ‘get pregnant all the time’.

The duo were talking about contraception, when Lily said: “I just remember I have an IUD [contraceptive coil] now. I think I’m on my third, maybe fourth, and I just remember before that, it was a complete disaster area. Yeah, I’d get pregnant all the time all the time.”
That’s when Miquita, 41, shared that she didn’t know if Lily had ever terminated a pregnancy before.
Lily then began to sing her answer in the tune of Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’, singing: “Abortions I’ve had a few… but then again… I can’t remember exactly how many.”
She added: “I can’t remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five.”
Shocked, Miquita then revealed her own abortion history, telling her pal: “I’ve had about five too! Lily I’ve never… I’m so happy I can say that, and you can say it, and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment.

“We’ve had about the same amount of abortions.”
Lily went on to muse over one of her abortion experiences, and how she remembered thinking that it was romantic that the man was paying for the termination.
She went on: “I think as a young woman starting your contraceptive journey, I was quite excited. It meant that I was having sex.”
However, the former TV presenter went on to add that she used to feel embarrassed about her abortions.
“I felt really embarrassed to even say that I had more than one abortion, why the f**k should I be ashamed? I have had a few,” she said.

Lily, who has daughters, Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, that she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper, admitted to being frustrated about having to justify her reasoning for wanting to terminate a pregnancy.
She said: “It actually irritates me, and I’ve said it before on the record. I’ve seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion.
“Like: ‘My aunt had a kid that had this disability,’ or whatever, ‘if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.’ It’s like, shut up!”
Lily added: “Just: ‘I don’t want a f***ing baby right now.’ Literally: ‘Don’t want a baby’ is enough reason.”
