Lily Allen is Knocked Up Too!!

British singer Lily Allen is pregnant with her first child, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The 22-year-old "Smile" singer has been dating the Chemical Brothers' Ed Simons, 37, since September. "As the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy," her rep said in a statement. "The couple will be making no further comment but they are obviously both thrilled by the news."

Allen, whose 2006 debut album, Alright, Still, sold nearly 2 million copies, recently talked about her desire to step out of the limelight and start a family." Maybe I could retire at 25. I'm only going to do one more album, she told Britain's Sunday Times in November.

"It's a great job, but it doesn't leave time for what's important. Like having a family," she added. "I'd like to live in the country and have a walled garden, and chickens and pigs." Despite the pregnancy news �" first reported by Britain's The Sun �" Allen's rep said, "Lily's new album will be released as planned next year."

"They are obviously both thrilled by the news" - Hahahahahahaha! I'm waiting for a rep to say, "They are obviously both devastated by the news. My client can't stop crying and she says she's going to be celibate now because her boyfriend is a motherfucker for not wearing protection when she'd ask him to." The world of PR needs me.
