Lily Allen Speaks Out For The First Time Since Giving Birth

06 December 2011

Lily Allen has spoken publicly for the first time since the birth of her baby girl in a message via her Twitter account.

The Brit singer, who now goes by her married name of Cooper (@MrsLRCooper on Twitter), gave birth last week although no official announcement has been made.

In a message on Twitter today, Lily wrote: "Thank you for all the flowers and lovely messages everybody. very touching indeed. nuff luv xx."

The 26-year-old is usually a regular Twitter user but had not posted any messages for more than a week. Her last one had been the brief "Totes amaze" on November 25 - the day she gave birth.

Lily's sister, Sarah Owen, confirmed the baby news via Twitter saying: "I LOVE my little niece! She's the sweetest little thing ever!! So proud of little sis @MrsLRCooper xxx."

Lily lives in Gloucestershire with her husband Sam Cooper, whom she married this year, and has often said her dream life would include a country home and lots of children.

Unfortunately Lily has suffered a lot of misfortune in the baby race, when she lost a baby six months into a pregnancy last year and suffered a miscarriage in 2008 when she was dating Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.

We are so happy for Lily!
