Lily Allen Confirms New Relationship Following David Harbour Split
Lily Allen has revealed that she is in a new relationship.
In 2024, the chart-topping star and her husband of four years, David Harbour, parted ways, which served as much of the inspiration for her latest album West End Girl.
More recently, she’s been romantically linked with the writer and author Jonah Freud, the great-great-grandson of Sigmund Freud.
During a new interview with Grazia, Lily confirmed that she’s in a new relationship, excitedly telling the outlet that her “boyfriend” was the last person she texted.
Last year, while promoting West End Girl, the Brit Award winner was asked by Interview magazine if she had been “dating anyone” since becoming single, to which the Not Fair singer responded with a cryptic “maybe”.
“[Dating apps are] awful, especially if you’re going through heartbreak,” she shared in the interview, published in October 2025.
“There is nothing more depressing than hundreds of people that are nothing like the person that you’re missing. It’s just like, ‘No, that’s not him. That’s not him. That’s not him’.”
She then clarified: “I’m not in a relationship, but there are some people that I meet up with.”
During a separate conversation with Perfect magazine, Lily shared: “It’s hard for me to not have my person, you know? And I am quite a codependent person. And I find it difficult to lean on the people who are available to me when I’m missing the comfort and stability of what is not available to me.”
She claimed: “I thought it was happily ever after, you know? And guess what? The dating scene is much harder as a 40-year-old woman with two teenage children than it is for a 34-year-old woman. It’s bitterly disappointing.
“There’s an element of humiliation and shame around it. The world doesn’t portray women of my age as being desirable. And it just feels like climbing up a mountain. But also, at the same time, I’m like, I don’t have to get involved with it. But something in me says that I do.”
Lily added: “Being in a relationship is not the answer to all of my problems. In fact, it’s probably the opposite. But it feels like the easier option. But also quite hard to achieve in this current climate.”
This weekend, Lily is up for three awards at the 2026 Brits, including the coveted Album Of The Year prize.
She’s also been rumoured to be putting in a surprise appearance during Mark Ronson’s performance, in honour of his Outstanding Contribution To Music recognition.
