Popstar Lily Allen has been dumped by Chemical Brother Ed Simons less than two weeks after she miscarried their baby.

The heartbroken singer, who had been ready to settle down and give up her partying lifestyle to concentrate on building a family, now has to deal with the break-up as well as grieving for her unborn child.

The Sun reported that Lily, 22, is devastated by his decision, after even a 3,000-per-night holiday in the Maldives could not make their relationship work.

Lily and Ed's relationship had been strained since the singer's miscarriage

Following a number of relentless arguments, Ed, 37, told the singer their romance was over.

One of her friends confessed to The Sun: "The miscarriage was a horrible experience for both of them - and in recent weeks the mood between them has been really strained."

The friend added: "Lily is really upset things haven't worked out for her and Ed."

Lily's spokesman is yet to comment on the couple's split.
