Lily Allen reveals she’s feeling ‘incredibly low’ in her New York City house after split from husband David Harbour

BBG News

Lily Allen disclosed that she’s been feeling very down and lonely living in her New York City residence, as she shared her feelings honestly on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old vocalist, following her separation from spouse David Harbour in January, shared that she’s been experiencing a significant weight on her shoulders because she feels she doesn’t have many responsibilities left in this city.

She moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters in local schools.

Instead of constantly scrolling through social media, the artist behind “Smile” mentioned that she’s currently on a break and feeling a void, since she’s not engaging in endless scrolling anymore.

Lily mentioned during her chat with Miquita Oliver on the BBC’s Miss Me? podcast that she has been abstaining from all social media platforms for close to two weeks now.

Last week, I found myself experiencing an unusually deep sadness, much more so than I had felt for months. It was a profoundly heavy feeling.

Then it struck me that perhaps the reason I’ve been more productive lately is due to avoiding the constant checking of negative news (doom scrolling) and instead using that time for contemplation or self-reflection. Does that make sense?

She went on to say, “During the day here in New York, I don’t have a lot keeping me busy, which often leads me to spend time on Instagram – scrolling, posting occasionally, reading replies, and receiving that burst of dopamine.

‘And I haven’t had it for nearly two weeks and I think it made me initially really sad. 

It appears that I might have experienced withdrawal symptoms. To be honest, it felt as though I was detaching from some kind of substance, which was quite unsettling and bizarre, almost drug-like in nature.

‘But it took me a minute to think, ‘oh yeah it was probably that”.

After parting ways with the actor from Stranger Things, David (aged 49), towards the end of last year following four years of marriage, Lily has now begun to open up.

In 2020, Lily and David got married in Las Vegas, after which they relocated from London to the United States as a newlywed pair.

However, last December, friends confirmed they had split after living ‘separate lives’ for months.

Earlier, Lily expressed that she hasn’t moved past the separation. She feels like she’s escaping from it all. There’s a possibility she could experience a stress-induced breakdown.

The former couple originally met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2019.

In a conversation on The Jonathan Ross Show, Lily mentioned that she initially swiped (used the dating app) just for amusement, and it was during this phase that she encountered David in a costume resembling a ‘humorous police officer’.

She admitted, “I didn’t recognize him. To me, he seemed like an attractive police officer from a reality television program, given that he was dressed in a police uniform. It turned out to be a scene from Stranger Things, a show I hadn’t watched before.

On vacation, I wasn’t really searching for anything specific. I guess it was just something amusing to pass the time, like flipping through apps.

Initially, when I crossed paths with him, I hadn’t anticipated anything would come of it. He was in town shooting Black Widow, and his stay was just a few months long. However, things did develop between us after that.

The split occurred following Lily’s detective work, as she suspected David of infidelity on a dating app.

I, a devoted admirer, found myself plunged into despair upon the rumor that my cherished idol maintained a clandestine presence on the star-studded dating app, as reported by The Mail on Sunday.

As a devoted admirer, I personally embarked on the popular app myself, feigning interest in connecting with other women. To my surprise, it appeared that the renowned pop star had already established a dating profile. Remarkably, he was said to have been active on the platform for at least a month.

Raya is quite selective, accepting roughly 8% of its applicants, yet boasts over 10,000 members, while another 100,000 are patiently waiting to join.

Once users find a new partner, they usually disable their profiles.

According to the source, Lily was attempting to identify the women that both appear on the dating app Raya and are followed by David on Instagram. This was an effort to determine who David might be dating. Essentially, she was employing her own version of the ‘Wagatha Christie’ method of investigation.

‘Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone.

Since meeting David, Lily hasn’t given a second glance to anyone else. She’s been heartbroken ever since he ended their relationship a month back.

‘He was meant to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.’ 

As a diligent admirer, I can’t help but share intriguing insights regarding an alleged online profile, exposed by the Mail on Sunday. The account in question, presumably belonging to David, stated: ‘Currently touring New York from my base in Atlanta’ and ‘a hidden intellectual who portrays rugged characters on screen’.

I, being an ardent admirer, found it intriguing that he resides in the bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia, some 800 miles away from our beloved family home in Brooklyn, New York. It was in 2020 that this couple decided to embark on a new journey here, with Lily enrolling their children in local schools, making this vibrant city their educational hub.

Last year, he purchased a residence in Atlanta with the intention of getting nearer to where Stranger Things was shooting its fifth and concluding season.

Lily’s close circle of London companions had long suspected that her husband might have feelings for other women.

By the time the couple broke up, she had become convinced that he had a secret girlfriend. 

Previously reported: Lily thinks that he’s been willing to socialize with new acquaintances for quite a while, but she just discovered this at the end of the summer. For the past year, he’s resided in Atlanta for movie productions.
