Singer Lily Allen and Stranger Things star David Harbour began their relationship back in 2019, and by September 2020, they had tied the knot. Their married life looked picture perfect, but after four years of marriage, things were not as merry as they looked.
In October 2024, speculation mounted when she unfollowed Harbour on Instagram. Insider reports suggested they had separated, and in December 2024, Allen was spotted on the dating app Raya (via Express.co.uk).
However, as the celebrity gossip page DeuxMoi revealed (via Grazia Magazine), Allen had downloaded the app to investigate Harbour’s alleged infidelity. She eventually found his secret profile and was reported to be devastated (via Daily Mail).
In January 2025, she stepped back from the Miss Me? podcast for her mental health, stating that she is not in a good place and spiralling (via The Guardian). Then in February, the couple finally called it quits (via PEOPLE).
While it remains uncertain if the couple has divorced, in a recent interview with British Vogue, the singer referred to Harbour as her ex-husband. Moreover, she just released her first album in seven years, called the West End Girl.
The album is reportedly inspired by her marriage with Harbour and the 14 songs talk about Harbour’s alleged infidelity, s*x addiction, betrayal, heartbreak, and pain.
Who Is the Real Woman Behind Lily Allen’s song Madeline?
One of the songs in Lily Allen’s West End Girl is the song Madeline. The song reportedly talks about them having an open marriage with the lyrics reading:
We had an arrangement / Be discreet and don’t be blatant / There had to be payment / It had to be with strangers / But you’re not a stranger, Madeline
Ever since the album release, fans have been wondering who this woman is. As The Daily Mail reports, Madeline is a 34-year-old costume designer named Natalie Tippett. Originally from New Orleans, she reportedly met David Harbour while working on the film We Have a Ghost in 2021.
Their affair started while filming and soon continued, with Harbour even having Tippett fly to his home in Atlanta, Georgia. In another song, Tennis, Allen sings that she found their relationship when she saw their text messages.
Millie Bobby Brown Files Harassment Complaint Against David Harbour
While David Harbour continues to be in the news for his alleged infidelity with ex Lily Allen, things are not looking good for him professionally as well. It has been revealed that Millie Bobby Brown complained about his behaviour during the filming of the fifth season of Stranger Things.
The Daily Mail reported that the actor faced an internal enquiry after Brown allegedly filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. Reportedly, there were several pages of accusations but none about s*xual harassment, and the investigation lasted for months.
In the Netflix series, Harbour portrays the adoptive father of Brown’s character. While Netflix has not commented on the rumors, they have not denied this either. It remains to be seen what David Harbour’s controversy will have on the series.
Well, what do you think about this all? Let us know in the comments below.
The first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 will be released on November 26, followed by three episodes on Christmas, and the finale on New Year’s Eve, on Netflix.
