Last year, Lilly published children’s book The Squickerwonkers.

In an interview published in Ocean Drive last December, Lilly celebrated motherhood.

“What I wanted originally was six kids. I frickin’ love being pregnant,” she said.

“I’m one of the lucky women who just had a blissful pregnancy, but I wanted to adopt four. My partner and I have really been through the wringer in the adoption world and it’s hard, so we’ll see what happens.”
