Very sad news this week for Lily Allen: the singer has suffered her second miscarriage, this time after six months of pregnancy.

"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby," the British singer's rep said in a statement today. "The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made."

In early August, Allen and Sam Cooper announced they were expecting a boy in January.

Tragically, this marks the artist's second such heartbreak, arriving almost three years after she went through a miscarriage during her relationship with musician Ed Simons. We wish her all the best.
