British singer Lily Allen, 40, shared candid details about her reproductive health and contraceptive choices on the June 30, 2025, episode of her podcast, 'Miss Me?'. The conversation, co-hosted with Miquita Oliver, explored Allen's experiences with pregnancy and abortion.
Allen disclosed that she frequently became pregnant before using an intrauterine device (IUD). She humorously mentioned having had several abortions, though she couldn't recall the exact number, estimating it to be around four or five.
Reflecting on one experience, Allen recounted a situation where a man paid for her abortion, which she initially perceived as romantic. However, she later realized the relationship did not last, and he never contacted her again. Allen also addressed societal views on abortion, expressing frustration over the need to justify the decision.
She emphasized that many women, including herself, choose abortion simply because they do not want a baby, and that should be reason enough. The discussion highlighted the importance of personal choice and the right to make decisions about one's own body without external judgment.
