Lily Allen says she returned adopted dog after it ate her kids' passports: 'You ruined my life'

Allen says her two daughters couldn't visit their father in England for months because the "f---ing dog had eaten the passports."

Lily Allen got into a ruff situation in the past with a dog that her family adopted and then returned.

The "Smile" singer revealed in Thursday's episode of her podcast Miss Me? that her family has plans to adopt a Chihuahua mix soon, and that her daughters Ethel and Marnie (who she shared with ex-husband Sam Cooper) already have a name picked out: Jude Bellingham.

But when the podcast guest, Welsh TV presenter Steve Jones, asked Allen if she and her husband, David Harbour, were ready for the "hell of a commitment" it takes to own a dog, Allen revealed she had already adopted a dog during the pandemic. "But then it ate my passport, and so I took her back to the home," Allen added.

"She ate all three of our passports, and they had our visas," Allen explained. "And I cannot tell you how much money it cost me to get everything replaced because it was in COVID, and so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare."

Allen lives in the U.S. with Harbour, while her daughters' father, Cooper, lives in England. So not having their passports meant that the kids couldn't see their father for months, because the "f---ing dog had eaten the passports."

Allen remembers telling the dog, "You ruined my life." She added that the dog had been "very badly behaved" and "it just didn't work out."

This isn't the first time Allen has spoken candidly about her dependents ruining her life. The English singer-songwriter appeared on an episode of Radio Times Podcast in March, where she said that while she loves her two children, they "ruined my career." "I love them, and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, totally ruined it," Allen quipped with a laugh.

"It really annoys me when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can’t," she added. "Some people choose their career over their children, and that’s their prerogative. But my parents were quite absent when I was a kid, and I feel like that really left some nasty scars that I’m not willing to repeat on mine. So I chose stepping back and concentrating on them and I’m glad that I have done that because I think they’re pretty well-rounded people. Fingers f---ing crossed."

The singer and Stranger Things actor married in 2020 in Las Vegas in an intimate wedding that featured an Elvis Presley impersonator and In-N-Out burgers. Her young daughters were also in attendance.
