British singer Lily Allen has announced her pregnancy. The 22 year old has been dating Ed Simons of Chemical Brothers since September, and the couple says they are “thrilled by the news”.

Hmm, seems like this was planned. In November, Lily gave an interview in which she said she wanted to retire early and start a family. She said, “Maybe I could retire at 25. I’m only going to do one more album.”

Plans are still going forward to release her new album next year, and then we’ll see about this “retirement”. Will it be anything like Celine Dion’s? or Shania Twain’s?

Congrats anyway to the thrilled couple.
