British pop star Lily Allen said having children "ruined" her career on an episode of the "Radio Times" podcast Tuesday.
"I never really have a strategy when it comes to career, but yes, my children ruined my career. I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, totally ruined it," Allen, 38, said in the interview.
Allen laughed as she said it, but she added, "It really annoys me when people say you can have it all, because — quite frankly — you can’t."
Alan shares two children, Ethel Mary, 12 and Marnie Rose, 11, with her former husband, Sam Cooper.
She rose to prominence with her 2006 single "Smile," which reached No. 1 on the U.K. charts. Her debut album, "Alright Still," subsequently earned a nomination for best alternative music album at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
