She's yet to find 'everlasting love' but says her two 'amazing little human beings' have her whole heart.
Lily Allen spoke about the 'endless joy' her two daughters Marnie, five, and Ethel, seven, bring to her on Friday, admitting that she still feels guilty about missing their early years.
The 33-year-old popstar was speaking on Dolly Alderton's Love Stories podcast when she shared her fear that they will 'suffer' because of it in later life.
Regrets: Lily Allen has spoken about her guilt over leaving her children for long periods of time while she's touring
Discussing her 'everlasting love' for her two children, Lily said: 'My children are amazing little human beings.
'They are just an endless source of joy and entertainment - I'm fascinated by them.'
Lily explained how she made the decision to return to music with her third album Sheezus and tour with it in 2014, not long after her children were born.
She said: 'I felt awful about not being as present as I could be in their really early years because those are so important. They will suffer and that will come back to get them at some point.

'Knowing what I do know now, [parenting] is about being there for them as much as I can now and telling them that I love them so much. But not too much, because if you say that you love them then you're not there, they question it and internalise it.
'I want them to be as stable and healthy and happy as they can be because they will go on to achieve whatever they want.'
Last October, Lily publicly blamed her ex-husband Sam Cooper for 'blocking her' from taking her children with her on the tour five years ago.
Lily had said: ‘I had always assumed I’d chuck my kid over my shoulder and take them around the world. But Sam didn’t want that. He didn’t think it was a stable environment for them.

‘I think it was quite selfish. He got to stay at home and have the family that I’d just spent three years making inside me. I had to go out and earn money and leave that family behind.’
Speaking to Dolly, Lily said she wrote the Sheezus album in order to earn money for her family, but it broke her heart to be away from her children for long periods of time.
'My life just became about something [other than music],' she said.
'I had a babies, then my whole life was just focused on making a family and having babies. I don't think I thought about other stuff until the bills started to add up.
'... The money comes from touring and that means leaving my bubbas for long periods of time.'
Unconditional love: Lily was married to husband Sam until last year
'When I wrote Sheezus I was suffering from post-natal depression and hormonally, I was coming back from three back-to-back pregnancies - I had no idea who I was, or what I stood for.'
On whether she always wanted to be a mother, Lily explained: 'I know how I feel about my mum and I think I just thought I would like unconditional love in my life.
'It was purely selfish,' she joked. 'Not when I made the decision to have kids but I just always visualised myself with kids and a husband and a house in the country and happily ever after. A big part of that is [wanting] love, unconditional love.'
Concluding, Lily praised her children saying: 'They're brilliant kids. It's hard, it's tough but it's so rewarding.
'The most rewarding thing is them being happy and that means I'm doing my job right. And they are, they're happy little things. It's not easy by any means.'

Call it a night like Lily in striped pyjamas by House of Holland
Everyone has been going bananas for pyjamas recently
Rocking a pair of PJs in public is totally acceptable, whether you style them casually with trainers à la Lily Allen or dress them up with heels.
The singer was pictured wearing this matchy matchy satin shirt and trouser set last night, which is by House of Holland. We love the striking red and navy stripe print, as well as the oversized fit and pocket detailis. The contrast piping adds a touch of luxe too!

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
