Lily Allen has vowed to give up her music career for five years because she wants to start a family.
It’s not the first time the Brit-Award winning singer has threatened to quit the music industry but now she wants to become pregnant before the end of this year.
The 25-year-old, who is in a relationship with painter and decorator Sam Cooper, gushed: ‘I’d like to have a child within a year.
‘It’ll be a minimum of four or five years before I make a record again.’
Despite being one of Britain’s most successful female artists, selling more than 2.4 million copies of her first album, Allen says the idea of settling down and having children is more of a priority.
She’s only been dating her 44-year-old boyfriend for nine months but they are set to start trying for a baby right away.
Allen told Absolute Radio: ‘I’d want to be really hands-on for the first two or three years of having a little one. I don’t want to leave them.’
After suffering from a miscarriage three years ago with ex boyfriend Ed Simons, Allen has made it well known that settling down and raising a family away from the media spotlight is her goal.
But whether she will actually quit music is another story, as the Fear singer has talked of hanging up her microphone for years.
Even in 2006 she expressed that her music wasn’t the be all and end all and by 2007 she said she wanted to quit music to ‘lead a normal life’.
She soon backtracked on her statement though and went on to release her second album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ in 2008.
In 2009 she wrote on her blog: ‘Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record.’
So we are left waiting again with bated breath to find out if this time Lily Allen has actually quit, but in the meantime she’s up for two gongs at the Ivor Novello Awards on Thursday.
