00:00 Lily Allen, an English singer and songwriter who was a star kid of Keith Allen and Alison
00:08 Owen, opens up about parenting after a very long time.
00:13 She shared two children, Ethel Marie and Marnie Rose, with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper.
00:21 In an interview with Radio Times podcast, she talked about her kids and parenting.
00:28 She mentioned that her children ruined her stardom.
00:32 Talking about her 11 and 12-year-old kids, she said, "My children ruined my career,
00:39 but her tone had a humorous touch.
00:43 She laughed while saying this."
00:45 Further, she continued, "I love them, and they complete me.
00:49 But in terms of pop stardom, totally ruined it.
00:53 It really annoys me when people say, 'You can have it all,' because, quite frankly,
00:59 you can't."
01:00 The "Smile" singer had some harsh memories of her childhood, which are difficult for
01:05 her to forget.
01:07 She disclosed, "Some people choose their career over their children, and that's their
01:13 prerogative.
01:14 But my parents were quite upset when I was a kid, and I feel like that really left some
01:20 nasty scars that I'm not willing to, you know, repeat on mine."
01:25 That's the reason she doesn't want her daughters to go through the same, and hence,
01:30 the not-fair singer compromised her stardom over her daughters.
01:35 Now, Lily is married to David Harbour in 2020, after her divorce with Cooper.
01:42 On a professional note, Lily is making her comeback through a podcast named "Miss Me"
01:47 with friend Oliver, which will be available from March 14 on BBC Sounds.
