Lily Allen was spotted sporting a diamond ring over the weekend whilst out in London following her apparent split from Stranger Things cast member David Harbour last year
Lily Allen, 40, has been spotted wearing a diamond ring months after splitting from her estranged husband David Harbour. She sported the jewellery whilst out in London just a few days ago after fulfilling a childhood dream.
Lily, who recently hit out at a ‘horrible’ ex who questioned her hygiene habits, was seen out in the capital city over the weekend. The podcast host rode a bike through Notting Hill, where she grew up, on Sunday, whilst seemingly out on her own in the community, where she’s said to have bought a flat.
The singer-songwriter opted to wear a striped shirt underneath a brown cardigan and a pair of jeans. Her outfit, which included dark footwear, was accompanied by a brown bag. Lily was also spotted sporting a band on her ring finger.
It appears to be different from the silver band and engagement ring that she wore during her marriage to David, 50. The new jewellery, which isn’t believed to be an engagement ring, features a pear-shaped stone on gold bands instead.
Lily being spotted out in Notting Hill comes following reports last year that she had bought a property there. Earlier this year, she confirmed on her podcast Miss Me? that she had bought a flat in the area of London where she grew up.
On an episode released in March, Lily spoke to her pal Miquita Oliver that the flat is in a social housing building, though assured that it had already been privately owned prior to her buying it. She said: “I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby. It has been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat in here became available and I was in a position to buy it.”
Lily, who is understood to have been recording the podcast from the flat, added that she had planned to attend community activities in the area with her two daughters. She didn’t mention whether her husband David, whom she married in 2020, was living with them at the property though.
The Brit Award winner and her children had lived with actor David, who is best known for his role on Stranger Things, in a townhouse in New York at one point. It was however reported last year that Lily had split from her husband.
She’s since said to have joined exclusive dating app Raya in an effort to move on from their marriage and has already been romantically linked to another celebrity. Lily was seen out with actor James Norton, 40, last month.
Lily and James were spotted enjoying Charli XCX’s performance at Lido Festival in London in June, with it speculated that they were on a date. More recently, it was reported that James had been getting cosy with someone else.
Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: “James and his female pal certainly didn’t care who was looking. They were happy sitting outside the bar getting very cosy with one another despite the scorching temperatures across London.”
They added: “At one point, the woman was seen resting her hand on James’ bare knees as they engaged in a deep conversation. It’s a stark contrast from his recent date with Lily Allen, but it’s clear that he’s not short of female attention.”
In a recent episode of her podcast, Lily said that she was accused of having poor hygiene by one of her exes. She has suggested that it was “a form of bullying and abuse,” and questioned the “gall” of the ex, whose identity she did not disclose.
She told her co-host that one of her exes had accused her of smelling bad during the relationship. She however recalled asking other people in her life if they felt the same way.
“I think that it was like a form of bullying and abuse.” Her long-time pal reacted: “It’s a horrible one.” Miquita added in the episode: “As bullying forms of abuse go, it’s a really horrible one.”
