Lily Allen recently shared her emotional journey and confirmed her separation from husband David Harbour in a candid podcast episode.
The 39-year-old singer, co-hosting the Miss Me? podcast with Miquita Oliver, talked about her ongoing struggles with mental health during a challenging period of her life.
Allen revealed that she has been dealing with severe emotional turmoil, which she described as spiraling out of control.
Heartfelt Confession on the Podcast
In a raw moment during the podcast, Lily reflected on her state of mind, admitting that she was “not in a good place.”
She described a recent holiday in Kenya with David, 49, where she stumbled over the word “husband” when recalling their time together.
It was a telling sign of the strain their relationship has been under.
Allen further opened up about how she had been suffering from panic attacks and an overwhelming sense of emotional distress, struggling to focus on anything other than her pain.
Family Support and the Challenges of Parenting
Despite her personal battles, Lily found strength in her two daughters, Ethel (13) and Marnie (11), from her previous marriage to Sam Cooper.
She expressed how they have been a crucial source of support, particularly during such a tough time.
“It’s really tough,” she admitted, “but they are always there, and you have to be present for them.”
She also emphasized the importance of staying positive for her kids, even when life gets overwhelming.
Although the singer acknowledged that her daughters were older now, she noted that they have become a mutual support system, encouraging open conversations about their feelings.
“We’re going to get through it and be fine,” she reassured them.
Addressing Rehab Speculation and the Role of Social Media
Taking a break from the podcast for a few weeks, Lily reassured listeners that her time off was not due to a relapse into drug addiction, as some online rumors had suggested.
She debunked these false claims, saying, “I’ve not relapsed. I’ve seen some horrible blind items online that aren’t true.”
Lily also spoke about her growing frustration with social media, which she feels contributes negatively to her mental health.
“I really don’t like my phone,” she confessed, revealing that she was looking forward to a few weeks away from it, where she would have no access to her device.
Discovering the Truth Behind David Harbour’s Secret Dating Profile
The couple’s split was reportedly sparked by Lily’s discovery of David’s secret dating profile on the celebrity app, Raya.
Convinced something was wrong, she went to great lengths to confirm her suspicions.
Lily rejoined Raya under the guise of “looking for women” and uncovered that David had been active on the platform for over a month, confirming her fears that he had been seeking someone else.
According to a source close to Lily, she meticulously cross-referenced women David followed on Instagram with those she found on Raya, employing the same detective-like tactics that led to the infamous Wagatha Christie scandal involving Coleen Rooney.
Moving Forward Amidst the Heartache
Although Lily has not publicly commented on the details of her separation, a friend confirmed that the couple officially split around a month ago.
David, who had previously spoken about his love for whirlwind romances, is now facing the fallout from his actions.
The actor, known for his role in Stranger Things, has a history of relationships with fellow actresses, including a previous engagement to Broadway actress Maria Thayler and a four-year relationship with Julia Stiles.
As Lily moves forward with her life, she remains focused on healing and finding strength through her family and close friends.
Despite the turmoil, she reassured listeners that she is determined to get through this difficult period and return to her podcast once she’s ready.
