Lily Allen looks for 60 years old boyfriend

Lily Allen thinks her next boyfriend will be 60 years old.

The 23-year-old singer - who recently ended a brief romance with 45-year-old art dealer Jay Jopling - is amazed every new relationship she embarks on is with someone older and wealthier than her previous lover and admits she has no idea when the pattern will stop.

She said: "It's funny because my boyfriends have gone up in terms of age and how much money they make.

"Lester Lloyd was a 20-year-old DJ and had no money, Seb Chew was 30 and had a bit more as a record executive, Ed Simons was 40 and had a bit more and Jay is pushing 50.

"That means the next one is probably going to be 60. I like them old and rich."

'The Fear' star - who miscarried the baby she was expecting with Chemical Brothers DJ Ed's baby last January - also revealed her exes try to stay on friendly terms with her when their relationship ends because they worry they will become the subject of an unflattering song.

Lily told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Now guys are really nice when they're breaking up with me because they don't want to end up in a song.

"Five years ago, before I was famous, I'd go on a date and guys would never call me again. Now it's different. None of my songs are fictional, they're all real."
