All the signs Lily Allen and David Harbour had split: How she has discussed Christmas 'alone' this year and hints there is trouble at home

As a keen observer of celebrity lives, I must say that Lily Allen’s journey is a fascinating blend of music, love, and family. From her early days as a pop sensation to her recent foray into podcasting, she has consistently shown an unapologetic authenticity that resonates with her fans.

Lily Allen and David Harbour have called it quits after spending five years as a married couple, according to a source who shared this information with Daily Mail.com. Lately, Allen mentioned that she would be celebrating Christmas by herself.

39-year-old musician has been seen utilizing the exclusive dating app Raya amidst speculation that her marriage to the 49-year-old Stranger Things actor was facing difficulties.

Lily’s marriage has faced speculation following her statement that she isn’t mentally well.

Her Raya profile featured a brief, playful self-description: “Searching for a partner to embark on a shared journey of couples counseling.” She mentioned that she was temporarily residing in Los Angeles, having come from New York.

Last week, the dating app appeared a profile belonging to an English singer-songwriter for those users identifying as women seeking female companionship.

It isn’t quite apparent from the app if Lily is leaning towards finding a romantic companion or simply seeking a friendly acquaintance.

My friend verified that Lily indeed has an account on Raya. However, they mentioned that the artist isn’t actively looking for dating matches at this time. Part of the reason is that she hasn’t finalized her divorce yet, and she places a high importance on the institution of marriage.

David’s representative, aged 49, whom Lily claims to have encountered on Raya, didn’t respond promptly when reached for a statement.

Lately, it’s become quite apparent that things aren’t going smoothly in their relationship, as they haven’t been spotted together since October.

In September, both the musician and the Stranger Things actor were seen at the Denver Broncos vs New York Jets match held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The very next month, they were also spotted socializing in New York City.

Apart from that, Lily has lately talked about cooking Christmas dinner single-handedly and feeling the absence of her yearly family gatherings with David and their kids, Ethel (age 13) and Marnie (age 11). This typically took place in New York, where they resided as a couple.

On the Miss Me? podcast, Lily mentioned her travel plans for this holiday season. She’ll first fly from New York to London, followed by a trip to Nairobi, Kenya.

Miquita inquired: ‘Did you used to celebrate Christmas dinner with others, since now you have your own family, do you prepare it yourself?’

As for that task, I haven’t tackled it just yet, but I’m planning to give it a shot someday, I suppose. You see, I have a deep affection for the culinary arts, and I find the preparation process incredibly soothing.

Discussing her ‘New York Christmas’, Lily hinted she had a last-minute change of plans this year.

She said: ‘I had to text my cousin because she is there with my children.

Year after year, I purchase four tickets for the annual Nutcracker performance at the Lincoln Center. Regrettably, I’ve overlooked having them, meaning someone else will enjoy the show this evening instead of me.

After Lily began subtly indicating problems in her personal life, and went as far as expressing she’s tired of men.

She mentioned on her podcast that she’s currently going through some tough times, but she’s making an effort to keep pushing forward.

In a previous episode, she told how her two daughters had found themselves in the firing line.

Instead of losing my cool and shouting at the children, I found myself expressing my feelings more calmly, saying something along the lines of, “Right now, I’m dealing with a lot, and it would really help me if you both could be a bit more well-behaved for a while.

She then explained to them: ‘We’re all going through some difficult stuff at the moment, so I apologise, and I’m sorry.’ 

She referred to Aaron Batterham, Alison’s boyfriend, as a “strong pillar of support” and the “most wonderful and helpful man in my life.” In this context, she did not mention David.

For some, a potential clue to the cause of her turmoil came when Lily announced: ‘I’m so bored of men.’

In her 2018 autobiography, it is mentioned that Lily openly discusses engaging in intimate relationships with women and hiring a professional escort on several occasions during the dissolution of her previous marriage.

It’s been observed that Lily has lately been spotted without her wedding ring. In her recent podcast videos, you can see her left hand missing a large diamond ring that David presented to her four years back.

At the London addiction awareness event she visited recently, she too lacked it. (Here, “it” refers to a substance of addiction.)

It comes after Lily revealed that she is ‘not in a great place mentally’ and has stopped eating.

Speaking on her podcast Miss Me?, Lily made a candid confession about her mental health.

The artist known for “The Smile” shared that it has influenced her appetite, as she confessed she hasn’t been consuming food and rarely feels the urge to eat.

As I’ve been grappling with some challenging times lately, my eating habits have turned into a struggle, to be honest.

In our session, my therapist asked, “How long has this issue been present?” To which I responded, “It’s actually been around for approximately three years.” She then inquired, “Why didn’t you bring this up earlier?

I haven’t brought it up because it hasn’t been my priority or immediate concern, but rest assured, it’s still significant.

Lily mentioned, “I struggle with discussing broader concepts. My ADHD also affects my ability to connect ideas.

Furthermore, to me, my mind and my body are distinct entities. While many consider them closely linked, I perceive them quite differently. I tend to dwell more in my thoughts rather than focusing on my physical self.

At present, I’m struggling emotionally, and I’ve lost my appetite. Strangely enough, I feel as though I should be hungry, but for some reason, the signals from my body to my brain about hunger aren’t getting through.

I’m not deliberately ignoring food, but I’ve been preoccupied with my thoughts and my body seems to be lagging slightly.

Lily and David were first linked in January 2019 when they attended the BAFTA Tea Party together.

That very November, the individual known for singing “Somewhere Only We Know” was captured on camera sporting a wedding band.

Ever since their wedding in September 2020 amidst the first surge of COVID-19, David has assumed the role of a stepfather to Lily’s two girls.

At one point, the actor playfully commented that he was involved with three women who each had varying perspectives on him at different times.

Later, he shifted to a more solemn demeanor as he explained that ‘taking such a commitment’ toward the girls meant ‘a significant step’ for him.

“It gives you that sense of maturity, honestly. I simply feel a bit more grown-up.

Lily previously credited the Covid pandemic with helping her relationship with David.

On Alan Carr’s podcast discussing lockdown, she admitted that the pandemic fundamentally altered the direction of her life.

In September 2020, the pair that tied the knot in Las Vegas had been together for roughly half a year before the pandemic occurred.

Lily shared that when the pandemic occurred, they were still at an early stage in their relationship, with her husband residing in New York. As the city began to lockdown, they found themselves spending more time together, which ultimately strengthened their bond.

We had been dating for approximately six months, yet we weren’t at a point where we were considering saying, “Let’s share a home.

Given the circumstances of the pandemic, it became clear to me that I have children. The thought then crossed my mind: ‘It can’t be that he has to stay alone in an apartment for an indefinite period. How long is this going to last?’

In a turn of events, the actor resided in New York City. However, Lily proposed an opportunity for him to relocate and stay with her family, consisting of two kids, on a temporary basis.

‘I said to him, “Get on a plane, get over here’ and I said to the kids “This is mummy’s friend and he doesn’t have anyone to stay with, so we’re going to have him stay with us” and we lived together for a good six months.

If we hadn’t spent those six months living together as a family to see how it would work, we wouldn’t have gotten the chance to do so, and I wouldn’t have dared to move.

Alan playfully expressed his gratitude towards the pandemic situation, saying, “I’m grateful for Covid!” Lily humorously responded, “Oh, I’m sorry for everyone who passed away, but my life has drastically improved!

Lily has two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, whom she had with her former spouse, Sam Cooper, during their marriage from 2011 until 2018.
