Lily Allen and her ex-husband David Harbour have reportedly put their New York townhouse on the market for an eye-watering $8 million, after the singer laid bare the actor’s infidelity in her blistering new album.
The singer has caused a huge stir with her record West End Girl, which details the breakdown of her marriage to the Stranger Things star after discovering he’d been unfaithful.
It’s now been reported that Lily and David are set to make a huge profit on their Brooklyn property, which they originally purchased for $3.3 million (£2.5m) in 2020.
The couple have documented the vast renovations they made to their home, and even invited Architectural Digest for a tour of the property.
Lily has relocated back to London following her split from husband David, but in a new interview admitted she wants to return to New York in the future.
In her song Pussy Palace, the star detailed how she dropped off clothes at her ex’s apartment after kicking him out, but discovered a string of evidence of his cheating, including sex toys, lube and condoms in the flat.

According to The Sun, Lily and David’s property only hit the market on Sunday, two days after her bombshell album was released.
Documents obtained by the publication, show that Lily and David purchased the property under two separate trusts as co-owners, and have spent thousands on renovations to the home.
It’s listed as a ‘layered narrative of traditional English charm, modern Brooklyn sensibilities and rich Italian influence’.
Lily and David previously showed off their New York home after undergoing extensive renovations, including a tiger-print media room, their luxury kitchen inspired by The Godfather, their floral Parisian-inspired rooms and a walk-in wardrobe.
While the living room is filled with ‘detailed crown mouldings,’ it leads to a private garden that features a sauna and cold plunge at the owner’s disposal.
As well as two guest bedrooms on the third floor, the house also boasts a fully-furnished basement with a gym storage space and a laundry room.
A local admitted it’s been ‘quite some time’ since it seems anyone has lived in the property, telling the publication: ‘Every house on the street has Halloween decorations, but not Lily and David’s.’
Lily relocated to London she and David split last year, having discovered he’d been having a three-year affair.

But the star has shared in a new interview she would like to return to New York in the future, telling The Sunday Times Culture Magazine: ‘My recovery is in New York and my health is a huge priority.’
The star added that she finds the support and therapy she gets to help with her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction are better in the US.
In Pussy Palace, Lily sings how she arrives at an apartment in the West Village where her ex was living, but instead with greeted with ‘sex toys and lube.’
‘I found a shoebox full of handwritten letters,’ Allen sings in the second verse of the track: ‘From broken-hearted women wishing you could have been better. Sheets pulled off the bed, they’re strewn all on the floor. Long black hair, probably from the night before.’
Late last year, Lily was forced to sell her beloved home in The Cotswolds to pay a hefty tax bill, but has since bought a property in Notting Hill, where she grew up.
‘She’s a west London girl and is loving being back,’ a family friend told Daily Mail’s Richard Eden. ‘Her new place is just a ten-minute walk from her mum’s home and they are very close.’
Lily, who has two children with her ex-husband Sam Cooper, sold her 17th-century home in Cranham, Gloucestershire, for £4.2 million in 2016 after being sued by an ex-tour manager for more than £100,000.
‘I had my house of dreams.’ she later reminisced. ‘I did it up so nice, it was my life project, the place where I was going to raise my children.’
She added: ‘I’m a firm believer in paying tax. But I got sued. I had to pay him off, with the money I’d put aside for my tax.
‘I tried to work out a deal with HMRC to pay them back in instalments, but they said no. It was absolutely soul-destroying, and a real lesson in life.’
The record comes after a turbulent time in Lily’s life following the breakdown of her marriage last December after she accused David of having multiple affairs including a his three-year affair with a younger costume designer.
The Mail on Sunday has exclusively revealed the identity of ‘Madeline’ and spoke to her from her home in the US.
Lily’s fans have said the song is a modern-day equivalent of Beyonce’s ‘Becky with the good hair,’ which featured on a song called Sorry, a cheating diss track from her 2016 album Lemonade.
The singer has caused a huge stir with her record West End Girl, which features the song Pussy Palace, where she describes her ex’s apartment filled with ‘
Meanwhile Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit Jolene sees the country star sing: ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene/ I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man’.
Lily’s new record, West End Girl, has drawn attention for her explicit and brutally honest lyrics about the breakdown of her four-year marriage to David, which ended last December after she accused the actor of having multiple affairs.
The lyrics see Lily appearing to suggest the couple had an open arrangement in regards to sex, as long as it was discrete, with paid strangers and not based on emotional connection.
She sings: ‘How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?/ He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open.
The chorus reads: ‘We had an arrangement/ Be discrete and don’t be blatant. There had to be payment/ It had to be with strangers/ But you’re not a stranger, Madeline.’
Speaking to The Times, Lily seemingly confirmed that ‘agreed-upon boundaries were not adhered to’ in her relationship with David, while addressing how apps had made cheating easier.
She said: ‘There are usually agreed-upon boundaries in relationships. But whether those boundaries are adhered to or not is becoming a grey area all of a sudden.
‘Dating apps make people disposable and that leads to the idea that if you are not happy, there’s so much more to choose from — right in your pocket.
Lily famously uncovered David’s infidelity when she discovered his profile on celebrity dating app, Raya, and ‘joined the dots’.
The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be ‘looking for women’ – and allegedly found that her now ex-husband had already set up a dating profile.
Speaking to the publication, she detailed how she believed dating apps were making people ‘disposable’ and changing conventional ideas about monogamy.
Her split from David led Lily to check into a £8,000-a-week trauma treatment centre to focus on her mental health.
And she admitted that she has used her music as a way to work through the dark feelings she was having and to ‘lay my truth on the table’.
