Lily Allen confirms she’s moving out of her New York townhouse following split from David Harbour as she reveals decorating her new London flat has ‘helped me’ amid her ‘hard time’

Lily Allen has confirmed she’s moving out of her New York townhouse following her split from husband David Harbour.

The former couple moved into the art deco home in Brooklyn in 2020 shortly after their Las Vegas wedding, with the beloved property even featuring in Architectural Digest.

It was then revealed last December that their relationship was over, with reports soon following that the Stranger Things actor, 50, had cheated on the singer, 40.

And in a bid for a fresh start amid her marriage woes, Lily has purchased an ex-council flat in London, and recently told how she’s thrown herself into decorating which has ‘helped’ her through her ‘hard time’.

The Smile hitmaker told The Mirror how she’s been taking inspiration from interior design magazines, remarking: ‘I’m really enjoying those at the moment. I’ve obviously had quite a hard time and that’s really helped me’.

Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast back in March, Lily opened up about her new property, which she’ll live in with her two daughters, as she chatted to co-host Miquita Oliver.

She shared: ‘This flat that I’ve bought, is in a social housing building, I have kind of given myself a ‘get out’ clause because it is slap bang in the area which I grew up in, so I don’t feel like I am coming from outside and coming into the area and gentrifying it.’

Lily added: ‘I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it’s been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did. But I know people have got judgement around it.’ 

Elsewhere, the stunning New York abode Lily is leaving behind features an eye-catching tiger-print media room and a luxury kitchen inspired by The Godfather.

While it also boasts floral Parisian-inspired rooms and a stunning walk-in wardrobe filled with designer goods.

Lily and ex David completed renovations on the property in 2023 with the help of interior designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff, with the then couple giving a tour to Architectural Digest.

However, in May, Lily admitted she felt ‘feeling incredibly low’ and lonely in her New York City home as she candidly opened up following her break-up.

The songwriter who confirmed her split from David in January, explained that she has been feeling ‘extremely heavy’ as she ‘doesn’t have that much to do here’ in the city. 

She moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters in local schools.

Revealing she was taking a break from social media, the Smile hitmaker said there is ‘nothing filling the gaps’ as she is no longer doom scrolling. 

Their separation came after Lily turned amateur sleuth after speculating that David had ‘cheated’ on the same dating app on which they met.

Lily was left in ‘agony’ when she allegedly discovered the actor had a secret profile on the celebrity dating app Raya.

The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be ‘looking for women’ – and allegedly found that David had already set up a dating profile. He was reportedly listed on the app as being active for at least a month.

Meanwhile, in a bid to help her through her woes, Lily has taken to puffing away on stage amid the stress of the split.

The pop singer and actress is currently playing the beleaguered Hedda Gabler at the Theatre Royal Bath. 

And she’s convinced the play’s director, Matthew Dunster, to let her vape on stage because she’s ‘going through some stuff’ in her own life, too. 

She told Daily Mail’s Richard Eden: ‘When we were in rehearsals, I just said to Matthew, “What about her vaping?” And he was, like, “Yeah.”

‘I think Matthew is just being generous to the fact that I might be going through some stuff: give her a little vape, give her a little time just to make her life a little bit easier.’
