Lily Allen Fans Claim She ‘Ended’ Ex David Harbour with Post Showcasing New Ring and Thanksgiving Swipe

Lily Allen fans have claimed the singer ‘ended’ her ex David Harbour with an ‘iconic’ post as she enjoyed Thanksgiving with celebrity pals in NYC.

The songstress, 40, stunned fans last month as she released her new album West End Girl, which details the brutal honesty of the breakdown of her four-year marriage to the Stranger Things actor, 50, following his infidelity. 

Taking to Instagram Lily showed off a new dazzling emerald ring, after ditching her wedding band, which followers branded an ‘upgrade’ as she caught up with Girls Creator Lena Dunham, 39.

She later enjoyed dinner with french Madeleine cakes for dessert, in yet another swipe at her ex, following her explosive song of the same name, which seemingly sees Lily name her love rival as she repeatedly sings: ‘Who the f*** is Madeline?’.

Sporting a ‘Thanksgiving Rejects’ hat the pop star also received a huge bunch of roses before enjoying two Broadway shows with another famous friend, actress and TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, 28.

Fans jokingly asked if her busy schedule meant she had been too busy to watch David in the new series of Stranger Things, which was released this week.

Lily captioned the post: ‘Saw plays, saw Wicked, ate turkey, and pancakes, all in A NY Minute. Back in a bit’.

Taking to X fans gushed: ‘Ended David Harbour’: ‘The ring upgrade’: ‘Love love love you powerhouse of a woman. hope the madeleines were free’: ‘Not the madeleines’: ‘Nor the madeleines’: ‘Iconic’: ‘So, not watching Stranger Things’.

David, who plays ex police chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, has spent the past few weeks conducting a tricky global press tour in the service of the fifth and final series of the Netflix mega-hit sci fi drama.

He’s been cheerful and warm, and has even cuddled co-star Millie Bobby Brown on the red carpet in LA (even though she reportedly previously sent in a written complaint about his ‘bullying’ behaviour.)

But, until now, the issue of his character, as described in ex-wife’s new album, has remained an elephant in the room.

Hitherto, he’s said nothing about anything which might have happened beyond the fictional town of Hawkins, where Stranger Things is set.

And yet he now appears finally to have broached, at least tangentially, the questions everyone wants answers to. How on earth it came to pass that he allegedly pressured Lily into an open relationship, only to violate the ‘rules’ which they had set. And what it feels like to be outed as a ‘sex addict’, after she claimed to have found a trove of sex toys and love letters at his bachelor apartment in New York.

Speaking about the characters played by himself and Millie Bobby Brown, David said: ‘You know, there are two people that are both lost, that are both heroic, sometimes beyond their capabilities, that both have such big, broad, deep hearts.’

He then reflected: ‘They are both deeply flawed in how they express themselves and make tons of mistakes. That is right up my alley. I love playing characters like that. I love human beings like that. I love humanity.’

In that assessment, of someone who messes up and is flawed, obviously we must include David. Expressing yourself by sleeping with women who are not your wife would certainly count as a flaw.

However, you wonder: will owning up to being ‘deeply flawed’ be enough to save him from the judgment of the world?

Quite possibly not – especially as it appears he spent time as recently as this September with Natalie Tippett, the costume designer who allegedly served as one of the models for ‘Madeline’, the woman Lily says is to blame for the whole mess.

On the song Madeline, she sings: ‘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.’

As revealed in the Mail on Sunday, David and Natalie appear to have coincided at the Thermea Spa Village in Winnipeg, Canada, while he was filming the movie Violent Night 2 in September this year.

Ms Tippett posted pictures of herself there while Harbour was known to be in production with the film nearby. Nine days later, Allen dropped her album.

Tippett, who is 34, lives in New Orleans with her two year old daughter. She’s believed to have met Harbour while working on his 2023 film We Have A Ghost. He and Allen announced their split in February this year but actually broke up in December 2024.

It was a short marriage. David had met Lily on celebrity dating app Raya in 2019 and they married a year later, in Vegas.

In her album, she suggests he first ‘went astray’ in the summer of 2021. She claims he later asked for an open marriage and she reluctantly agreed.

It’s far from Lily’s first romantic disaster and the romance always seemed unlikely, joining as it did two people who both had their share of demons.

She is a rather vulnerable woman scarred by rejections from her hell-raising actor father Keith and she hit a low when her marriage to first husband Sam Cooper failed. She, too, has been candid about her mental health struggles, and issues with sobriety.

After she and David split, she told Vogue she ‘wanted to die’, but after a period in a trauma recovery centre, she is now on anti-depressants, has found a ‘sobriety sponsor’ and has been going to daily meetings, plus having therapy.
