Lily Allen has opened up about her sex life with husband David Harbour, revealing he asked for ‘kinky sex’ ahead of their shock split.
The 39-year-old singer reportedly ended her five-year relationship with the Stranger Things actor, 49, after reportedly discovering his profile on celebrity dating app Raya.
Rumors of trouble in their relationship had been circulating for months, with sources claiming Lily called it quits a month before Christmas.
Although neither of them have publicly discussed the situation, the singer previously hinted at problems in their relationship during an episode of her podcast, Miss Me?
Speaking to her co-host and best friend Miquita Oliver in the summer last year, she had said: ‘I wonder if I’m shaming my husband. Because a lot of times he asks for things, and I say, ‘No, honey, it’s not happening.’
“I’m not like, ‘You piece of shit, how dare you ask me that!’ I’m just like, ‘Hmm, headache. Little headache, little headache, maybe not tonight.”

In a more recent episode from November, Lily mentioned using AI to help her in arguments with David.
The Smile singer explained that she relied on ChatGPT to help her articulate her points during their arguments.
‘I use [ChatGPT] more for personal matters,” she explained. “When David and I have had an argument and I have to put it into words, I say, ‘Write me a long text message about an argument that started with the dishwasher and ended up in an argument about our finances.’
She also shared the clues she uses to make the responses more personal, explaining, “That’s great, but can you add anything about how I think this all actually ties back to his mother?” You copy and paste them all until you have enough.”
Lily turned to Wagatha Christie to find out if her husband David was looking for other women amid swirling rumors.
The singer unleashed an impressive set of skills after suspecting her husband was cheating, and was reportedly left in ‘agony’ when she discovered the actor had a secret profile on celebrity dating app Raya, The Mail on Sunday revealed.
Lily decided there was only one way to find out the truth and rejoined the dating app where she first met David, pretending to be ‘looking for women’.
She soon discovered that David had already set up a dating profile and had been active on the app for at least a month.

A source revealed Lily’s meticulous methods: ‘Lily was looking for women who were on Raya and compared them to women David follows on Instagram to find out who he was seeing. She was doing her Wagatha thing.”
Former England football star Wayne Rooney’s wife, Coleen, was famously nicknamed ‘Wagatha Christie’ after turning online detective and outing fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy as the apparent leaker of stories about her.
“Lily only got back together with Raya to find out if he was seeing anyone,” the insider continued.
‘Lily hasn’t even looked at anyone since she met David. She’s devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. He was supposed to be on holiday with her in Kenya for Christmas.’
David’s dating profile, exclusively revealed by MoS, reads: ‘Visiting New York from Atlanta’ and ‘closet nerd playing tough guys on your TV’.
He calls his profile song Houses Of The Holy by Led Zeppelin.
David describes himself as living in Atlanta, Georgia, 800 miles from the family home in Brooklyn, New York, where the couple moved in 2020 while Allen enrolled her children in local schools.
He bought a house in Atlanta last year so he could be closer to the Stranger Things set.

The show ended filming the fifth and final series just before Christmas. Allen’s circle of friends in London say she has believed since the fall that her husband is interested in other women.
By the time the couple broke up about a month ago, she had become convinced he had a secret girlfriend.
The singer has not made any public statements about her relationship with David since it emerged they parted ways in December, but a friend of the Top 10 singer confirmed they had officially ‘parted’.
He has previously spoken about his penchant for a whirlwind romance. “I get carried away easily, but I try not to be,” the Stranger Things actor told Women’s Health in October 2017.
“I’m better at the fantasy of relationships than in everyday real life, but I’m trying to steer myself towards being a realist,” he added.
He continued, “What I find most exciting right now are sharp, intelligent and insightful women. People who think deeply, who have a strange way of looking at the universe, are extremely attractive to me. So if I can find one of those girls who can stand me, then I might have something.”
The actor has a history of dating fellow stage actors and enjoyed a three-year relationship with Broadway veteran Maria Thayler from 2008 to 2011, with the pair even getting engaged.
Shortly after their split, David went public with actress Julia Stiles after the two starred together in the 2012 film Between Us.

‘What a generous, big-hearted, roaring wonder of someone I get to walk around with and do things with. Like eating food and reading books out loud and watching our dog sleep. And isn’t that great? What an inflamed soul, what a spirit of fire.”
‘What a brilliant artist. What a caring, profound, intuitive person, who completely changed my life. What a lucky woman I am.’
Just over a year later, the pair had ended their relationship, shortly before David met Lily on Raya.
