Pop star Lily Allen is "distraught" after suffering a miscarriage, according to reports.
The 22 year old was expecting her first child with boyfriend Ed Simons from the band the Chemical Brothers.
But today The Sun newspaper reported the star - daughter of actor Keith Allen - had suffered a miscarriage.
A source close to the singer told the paper: "The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are absolutely heartbroken.
"Lily's entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. She was looking forward to being a mum and starting a family with Ed.
"She had turned her back on the party girl image and turned over a new leaf."
Allen met Simons, 39, after a Chemical Brothers' gig in London's Trafalgar Square in September.
Her spokesman confirmed the news: "We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time."
Allen had spoken of her excitement after discovering she was expecting: “I've looked forward to being stable my whole life. My parents are amazing, but it has been a whirlwind upbringing.
“I have got my eye on the prize, which is having kids and getting married and cooking dinner and doing homework with my children.”
Allen's second album is due out later this year and a BBC show is also planned.
