After releasing an album detailing their breakup, Lily Allen’s children were seen spending time with her ex-husband, David Harbour, over the weekend.

David Harbour, the 50-year-old actor from Stranger Things, was spotted at Universal Epic Universe with his stepdaughters, Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 12. The video appears to have been filmed on Sunday.

Many fans will likely be surprised by this decision, especially since Lily, age 42, recently released a very honest album detailing David’s infidelity throughout their four-year marriage.

This might be the first indication that things are becoming less strained between the ex-couple, as David seems to still be involved in their children’s lives even after their difficult split.

The singer said her new album blends true events with made-up stories. She was recently questioned by Vogue about whether her ex-husband, David, would remain a parental figure to their children.

Lily said she wasn’t sure and suggested asking David, but recent events show he’s still involved in his daughters’ lives, even at 50.

David looked every bit the loving stepfather while enjoying a day at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. He was casually dressed in a Super Mario T-shirt and a bucket hat.

The aftermath of their breakup is clear in the raw and honest lyrics, where Lily describes finding out he was unfaithful after discovering messages on his phone.

Lily mentions a woman named Madeline, who seems to be a combination of different people and appears to be the main source of conflict between her and David.

Lily’s new song, “West End Girl,” is creating a lot of buzz because it’s about the end of her marriage to the actor from “Stranger Things.”

People reacted with confusion to a TikTok post showing Lily promoting her new music while David was taking care of their children.

Someone commented that while the man is being publicly embarrassed, Harbour seems to be on vacation with his children, and they found it incredibly frustrating.

Another said: ‘So he’s there with Lily’s children while she promotes an album.’

A third posted: ‘They are Lily’s children what the hell.’

Lily and David are expected to make a significant profit from their Brooklyn property. They bought it in 2020 for $3.3 million (about £2.5 million).

David has earned $6 million from his work on the popular Netflix show, Stranger Things. Lily is estimated to be worth $4 million, thanks to her success in music, podcasting, and acting on stage and television.

The couple shared the extensive renovations they did to their house, and even gave Architectural Digest a tour.

After moving back to London after her separation from David, Lily has shared that she hopes to live in New York again someday.

In her song “Py Palace,” the artist described how she went to her former partner’s apartment to leave some clothes after ending their relationship. While there, she discovered evidence of his infidelity, including items like sex toys, lubricant, and condoms.

As reported by The US Sun, Lily and David just listed their home for sale on Sunday, only two days after Lily’s surprise new album came out.

Records show Lily and David bought the property together through two different trusts and have since invested a significant amount of money in renovations.

It’s described as a blend of classic English style, the trendy vibe of Brooklyn, and the warmth of Italian design.

Lily and David recently revealed their renovated New York home, which features unique spaces like a media room with tiger print, a luxurious kitchen designed with inspiration from the movie The Godfather, floral-themed rooms evoking Paris, and a spacious walk-in closet.

The living room boasts beautiful crown moulding and opens onto a private garden with a sauna and a cold plunge pool for the owner’s use.

In addition to two guest bedrooms upstairs, the house has a finished basement that includes a gym area, storage, and a laundry room.

A neighbor said it’s been a long time since anyone has lived at the house, noting that while all the other homes on the street were decorated for Halloween, Lily and David’s wasn’t.

Lily moved to London after discovering her husband, David, had been having an affair for three years. They separated last year.

The actress recently mentioned in an interview that she hopes to move back to New York someday. She told The Sunday Times Culture Magazine that being in New York is important for her well-being and recovery, and that her health is her top priority.

As a longtime fan, it’s so encouraging to hear her talk openly about her journey. She recently shared that she feels she’s getting truly effective support and therapy here in the US, which is amazing to hear and I’m glad she’s finding what she needs to overcome her struggles with addiction.

In the song “Py Palace,” Lily describes going to her ex-boyfriend’s West Village apartment only to find it filled with sex toys and lubricant instead of him.

In the song, Allen describes finding a shoebox filled with letters from women who were hurt and wished he had treated them better. He paints a picture of a messy room – sheets tangled on the floor and long black hair left over from the night before.

Lily had to sell her house in The Cotswolds late last year to cover a large tax payment. She’s now returned to her roots, purchasing a new home in Notting Hill, where she spent her childhood.

According to a family friend who spoke with Richard Eden from the Daily Mail, she’s happy to be back in west London. Her new home is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk from her mother’s, and the two are very close.

In 2016, Lily sold her 17th-century house in Cranham, Gloucestershire, for £4.2 million. This came after a legal dispute with a former tour manager, who sued her for over £100,000. Lily shares two children with her ex-husband, Sam Cooper.

She fondly remembered her former home, saying, ‘It was everything I’d ever wanted. I put my heart and soul into making it beautiful – it was my life’s work, and I pictured raising my family there.’

I strongly believe in paying taxes, but I was involved in a lawsuit. I ended up having to use the money I’d saved for taxes to settle the case.

I attempted to arrange a payment plan with the tax authorities, but my request was denied. It was incredibly disheartening and a tough experience that taught me a valuable lesson.

This news follows a difficult period for Lily, who separated from her husband, David, last December. She had previously claimed he was unfaithful, including a three-year relationship with a younger costume designer.

The Mail on Sunday was the first to identify ‘Madeline’ and they interviewed her at her home in the United States.

Fans are comparing Lily’s new song to Beyoncé’s ‘Becky with the good hair,’ a reference in her 2016 song ‘Sorry’ which was about infidelity. It seems Lily’s song is sparking similar speculation about a cheating situation.

Oh my gosh, have you heard Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’? It’s EVERYTHING. She basically pleads with this woman, Jolene, repeating her name over and over – ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!’ – and just begs her not to steal her man. It’s so dramatic and heartbreaking, I can’t get enough of it!

Lily’s latest song, “West End Girl,” is getting attention for its very direct and honest lyrics about her divorce from David. The couple separated last December after Lily publicly claimed David had been unfaithful.

The song’s lyrics imply Lily believed the couple had an understanding allowing for casual sexual encounters, as long as they were kept secret, involved paid partners, and lacked emotional intimacy.

She’s singing about a relationship she questions, wondering how long it’s been happening and if it’s just physical or involves real feelings. He promised to keep it secret, confined to private encounters, and never public.

The song’s chorus goes like this: ‘We had a secret understanding – keep it quiet and don’t make a show of it. There was supposed to be money involved, and it was meant to be with people we didn’t know. But you, Madeline, are different.’

In an interview with The Times, Lily hinted that she and David didn’t respect each other’s boundaries during their relationship, and also discussed how dating apps have contributed to increased infidelity.

Healthy relationships generally have clear boundaries. However, it feels like people are increasingly unsure about respecting those boundaries lately.

Dating apps can make it feel like people are easily replaced, which creates the impression that if you’re not satisfied, you always have plenty of other options available with just a swipe on your phone.

Lily discovered David was cheating after finding his profile on the exclusive dating app, Raya, and realizing the connection.

The singer created her own account on the dating app, claiming she was interested in women, and reportedly discovered her soon-to-be ex-husband had already created a profile of his own.

In an interview, she explained her view that dating apps are treating people as if they’re easily replaced and are altering traditional beliefs about having only one partner.

After her breakup with David, Lily sought help at an intensive treatment center costing £8,000 per week to prioritize her well-being and mental health.

She shared that she uses her music to process difficult emotions and express her honest feelings.
