Lily Allen is dumped by boyfriend

Lily Allen has split from Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.

The news comes just weeks after the couple faced heartbreak when Lily suffered a shock miscarriage.

Sources have claimed that Lily and Ed's relationship hit the rocks as they struggled with their grief. Following attempts to patch things up, Ed finally told Lily that their romance was over.

"They tried to make things work but couldn't," a friend told The Sun. "The miscarriage was a horrible experience for both of them - and in recent weeks the mood between them had been really strained."

The source added: "Lily is really upset things haven't worked out for her and Ed. She had talked about settling down for good and having a family. But there is a big age difference and the heartbreak they had to cope with was too much too early in their relationship."
