Lily Allen with dad Keith AllenLily Allen has revealed that both her parents were too busy to coddle her much when she was a child but she doesn’t mind too much now.

Lily, the daughter of actor/musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, said recently: “I probably did lack the tender loving care that most kids get if their mum’s at home all the time. I suppose, all I wanted was for someone to give me a big hug but that never really came.”

“I’m very happy with myself [though]. If I hadn’t had the upbringing I had, I wouldn’t be the person I am, so I’m grateful.”

“I feel like I’ve dealt with a lot of emotional s**t people don’t deal with until their twenties or thirties and I am on my way of figuring out happiness.”
