Singer Lily Allen Says Having Kids "Totally Ruined" Her Career

Singer Lily Allen Says Having Kids "Totally Ruined" Her Career.

Singer and mom of two Lily Allen is opening up about the toll having children can take on a mother's career.

On Tuesday, March 12, while appearing alongside British television presenter and radio personality Miquita Oliver in the most recent episode of the Radio Times Podcast, Allen said she "never really had a strategy when it comes to career."

"But yes, my children ruined my career,” she added, before sharing a laugh with Oliver. “I mean I love them and they complete me but in terms of like, you know, pop stardom? Totally ruined it."

Grateful for Allen's honesty, Oliver responded: "That's so true! I'm so happy to hear somebody say that because, of course, everyone is like: 'No, of course not!'"
