Lily Allen and David Harbour’s four-year marriage appears to be facing serious challenges, with recent signs suggesting a potential separation. From missing wedding rings to cryptic dating app bios, there are growing questions about their relationship status.
Lily Allen and David Harbour’s four-year marriage seems to have faced major challenges, with recent observations pointing to potential reasons behind their rumoured separation.
The couple has not been seen together publicly for three months, and insiders claim they have been living separate lives. Lily has reportedly joined the dating app Raya, where she jokes about needing someone for couples therapy. Her alleged bio reads: “Looking for someone to start couples therapy with,” while she also is said to have indicated that she is “visiting Los Angeles from New York “. It comes after she told podcast listeners she was “bored of men.”
One reason for the speculation about Lily and David’s relationship troubles is that Lily previously shared how she often has heated arguments with her husband. The singer admitted that she would relate everything he said to misogyny. Speaking on her podcast with Miquita Oliver, Lily said: “I quite often get into heated arguments with David because I’ll talk to him about something that I see as like being misogynistic or a patriarchal construct, and his knee-jerk reaction is defence.
“And I’m just like ‘you know that this is wrong so why can’t we just have a conversation where the starting point of the conversation is you’re right, that is out of order’.” Another potential of trouble is the absence of Lily’s wedding ring. During a recent podcast episode, she was seen without her large engagement ring and diamond wedding band. This came amid growing speculation about issues in her marriage to David.
In clips from her podcast shared on Lily’s Instagram, Lily gestured with her bare hands, with both her engagement and wedding ring missing. Fans had already started questioning the state of their relationship last year when Lily unfollowed David on social media. When asked if they had split, Lily, who has two daughters from her previous marriage with Sam Cooper, responded lightheartedly, saying: “Yes, I am divorced . . . from one marriage.”
Lastly, Lily’s recent comments about her Christmas plans raised more eyebrows, as she didn’t mention David at all, fuelling further rumours of a possible separation.
She said: “Every year I buy four tickets to go and see the Nutcracker at the Lincoln Centre and I have completely forgotten that I have these tickets so they’re going to have to go without me tonight.” She shared that, instead of her usual Christmas in New York, this year she plans to travel from the US to London before heading to Nairobi.
On Monday, she uploaded a video of a pride of lions devouring a zebra carcass in a graphic post. Giving no further explanation for her unusual post, Lily simply captioned the video: “That circle of life. brutal”
Lily previously admitted to meeting David on Raya. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show last year, Lily spoke of meeting David, who plays Jim Hopper in hit Netflix science fiction drama Stranger Things.
“On a dating app, called Raya,” she revealed. “It was the first time I’d been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David’s profile and pressed accept. I didn’t know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show. He was wearing a policeman’s uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I’d never seen Stranger Things.”
She added: “I don’t even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it’s a bit of fun. When I met him I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did (go somewhere).”
