Lily Allen has split from husband and Stranger Things actor David Harbour, a friend told DailyMail.com, as the singer was spotted on celebrity dating app Raya.
Rumors swirled for months that Allen and Harbour’s five-year relationship was on the rocks, but a friend of the Smile hitmaker confirmed they are officially ‘separated’.
The news comes as a female source, unaffiliated with Allen, shared with DailyMail.com a photo of the singer’s profile on the high-end dating app frequented by the rich and famous.
The 39-year-old had a short, tongue-in-cheek bio on her profile that said she was “looking for someone to start couples therapy with,” and indicated that she’s “visiting Los Angeles from New York.”
The English singer-songwriter’s Raya profile surfaced last week for users who told the app they are women interested in dating other women.
It’s unclear what Allen’s preferences are on the app and whether she was looking for a romantic partner or just platonic friendship.
DailyMail.com can reveal Lily Allen’s profile on exclusive dating app Raya, where she was spotted days after saying on her podcast that she was ‘boring men’
Her appearance on Raya comes as a friend confirmed to DailyMail.com that Allen and Harbor have separated
The friend confirmed that Allen had a profile on Raya, but said the singer was not actively looking for dates, partly because she is not yet divorced and “she takes marriage very seriously.”
A representative for Harbour, 49, who said Allen met at Raya, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Allen has previously spoken about meeting Harbour, 49, on Raya.
Her reactivated account has come to light just days after she admitted on her podcast Monday that she’s “not in a great place mentally” and is “boring men.”
She has previously spoken out about having sexual experiences with women — including hiring a “high-class hooker” three or four times “during the breakup of my last marriage,” according to her 2018 autobiography.
The British mother-of-two has also experimented in other ways, revealing in October that she started selling photos of her feet on her OnlyFans page on the advice of her podiatrist.
She wrote on the social media site X that she made more money from “having a thousand people subscribe to pictures of your feet” than from royalties on her “nearly 8 million monthly listeners” on music app Spotify.
In recent video clips from her podcast, Miss Me?, Allen’s left hand was missing the large diamond David gave her in 2019 and she announced that she was “tired of men,” that she had been in couples therapy with her husband.
The couple has been plagued by rumors of marital problems after she revealed she is ‘not in a great place mentally’
Her friend confirms the break with the 49-year-old Harbor and agrees with fans who pointed out several indications that the couple’s relationship was coming to an end.
In recent video clips from her podcast, Miss Me?, Allen’s left hand was missing the large diamond David gave her in 2019, and she didn’t have it when she attended an addiction awareness event in London earlier this month.
Allen unfollowed Harbor on social media last year and a source claimed to The Sun at the time that the couple were “living separate lives.”
She announced on the December 16 episode of her bi-weekly BBC podcast that she was “tired of men”, that she had been in couples therapy with Harbour, and that while she was “going through some tough stuff”, she had been “screaming” at her . her children.
‘I exploded and shouted at the kids. I thought, ‘I can’t handle this right now; I’m going through so much, I want you to behave.”
She then explained to them, “We’re all going through hard things right now, so I apologize, and I’m sorry.”
Since tying the knot in September 2020, during the first wave of Covid-19, David has taken on the role of stepfather to Lily’s two daughters.
The singer, 39, had gone to therapy to cope after moving to New York with her children Ethel Mary, 13, and Marnie Rose, 11, and husband David Harbour.
She told friend and co-host Miquita Oliver: “I’m having a bit of a hard time at the moment, but I’m trying to keep going.”
In another segment, she described Aaron Batterham, her mother Alison’s boyfriend, as a “pillar” and “the most important male person in my life who is amazing and supportive” – without mentioning David.
She and the New York-based actor were first linked in January 2019 when they attended the BAFTA Tea Party together. The same year she was spotted with an engagement ring.
Allen said on BBC’s The Jonathan Ross Show last year that she met Harbor on Raya, where his profile picture showed him in costume as his Stranger Things character Chief Jim Hopper – but she didn’t recognize him.
“I didn’t know who he was,” she admitted. “I thought he was like a sexy cop from a reality TV show.”
They married in September 2020, while spending the first Covid-19 lockdown together in New York.
Before a friend confirmed that Allen had split from her husband, she began dropping hints that there were problems in her family life. Lily appeared stony-faced when David kissed her during a screening for Dreamland in March 2023
In another segment, she described Aaron Batterham (pictured), her mother Alison’s boyfriend, as a “pillar” and “the most important male person in my life who is wonderful and supportive to me” – without mentioning David.
Harbor has taken on the role of stepfather to Lily’s two daughters, Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, from her relationship with builder-decorator Sam Cooper, to whom she was married from 2011 to 2018.
The Smile hitmaker also added on her show that struggles with her mental health have affected her eating, saying she is never hungry.
“I’ve been going through a rough time these past few months and my eating has become a problem,” Allen said.
“My therapist and I are talking about it and she says, ‘How long has this been going on?’ And I said, ‘Well, about three years actually.’ And she says, ‘Okay, why didn’t you say it before?’
“And it’s not because I’m lying about it. It’s just because it didn’t seem to be at the top of the list of important things I need to talk about, but clearly it is.
‘I’m not very good at talking about the bigger picture. That’s also something with my ADHD that I don’t connect.
In October, the British mother of two revealed that, on the advice of her podiatrist, she is selling photos of her feet on her OnlyFans page.
‘And besides, my body and my brain are two very different things to me. I know a lot of people feel like these two things are very connected, but for me it’s very different. I spend a lot of time in my head, and not much time thinking about my body.
‘I’m not doing well mentally at the moment and I’m not eating. I’m not hungry.
‘I’m obviously hungry, but my body and brain are so separated that my body… the messages of hunger don’t go through my body to my brain.
‘I don’t avoid food, I just don’t think about it because I’m so stuck in my head. My body is a few steps behind me.”
Allen has received praise for sharing her personal, vulnerable moments on her show, and has said in previous episodes that she wants to “normalize” topics that people are ashamed of.
She talked about her use of a sex worker during a Miss Me? episode in June this year.
“During the breakdown of my last marriage, I was very promiscuous and experimental, and I… had sex with female prostitutes,” she said, correcting herself to say “sex workers.”
“I knew this thing existed and that I was behaving like this, and I thought that was going to be revealed, so I thought I’d take back a little bit of the power and reveal it myself [in her book, My Thoughts Exactly].’
She later joked that she hoped Harbor wasn’t listening, describing herself as currently sexually unadventurous and “vanilla.”
But she told the Guardian in 2018 that she was acting out “quite boldly” outside her first marriage.
“I guess I just didn’t care… Actually, maybe I wanted to get caught, maybe I wanted Sam to save me. I wanted him to know these things and say, ‘Enough is enough, you’re coming home.’
Allen made headlines in October when she revealed she had been selling photos of her feet online – and received a coveted five-star rating on the foot fetish site wikiFeet.
She said on her podcast that she started an OnlyFans account in the summer after her podiatrist told her she could make money with her “beautiful feet.”
She posted a link to her OnlyFans account on her reduced.’
The witty star clapped back: “Imagine being an artist and having almost 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but making more money because 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.’
Allen charges her $10 a month OnlyFans accountwhich would make $10,000 per month with 1,000 subscribers.
Spotify says it has 7.5 million monthly listeners, with the app typically paying artists around $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, for a total of between $22,500 and $37,500.
