LONDON — Chart-topping pop singer Lily Allen is pregnant, according to reports.
The British singer is said to be expecting her first child with her boyfriend of four months, 37-year-old Ed Simons of the electronic dance duo the Chemical Brothers.
The "Smile" singer and her boyfriend are said to be setting up house in London after hearing the news.
According to London's The Sun newspaper, "Ed's very happy. He is really looking after her."
Lily, who recently debuted a new body after losing weight, is also excited by the news.
A source revealed, "Lily could not be happier. It's the icing on the cake for what has been an incredible 18 months for her. She is looking forward to finishing her new album early next year and releasing it before the birth of her first child."
Allen, who has long said she only wants to make one more album before retiring from the music industry, recently began talking about starting a family.
"It's a great job, but it doesn't leave time for what's important," she told Britain's Sunday Times last month. "Like having a family."
"I'd like to live in the country and have a walled garden, and chickens and pigs."
The pregnancy may also provide a cure for one of Allen's other life hurdles — quitting smoking.
"I should also give up smoking," she said last month, "but haven't quite managed that yet."
