Lily Allen lucky to have a great partner who helped her through baby drama
Singer Lily Allen fought back tears during a candid taped TV interview as she recalled losing her baby in 2010.
Little William was stillborn at six months on Halloween (31Oct) four years ago, and after honoring her son a week ago with the tweet "4 years today. God took my baby away", she spoke about the tragedy during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, which will air in Britain on Saturday night (08Nov14).
The 29 year old, who has since given birth to two daughters, heaped
praise on her husband Sam Cooper for helping her cope after the
tragedy.
She tells Ross, "I think it's difficult for anybody regardless of
what world they live in and actually what I took home from that
experience was... even though it was the most unfortunate thing
that can ever happen to a person, I was very fortunate in the sense
that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that
experience with.
"There are many women - 17 stillbirths in the U.K. everyday - that
go home and they don't have that support; they have to go home and
deal with that on their own, so I am kind of... in a count my
blessings scenario rather than feeling sorry for myself."
Allen also told the TV host that she and her husband are keen to
have a son: "I'd love a boy."
