David Harbour Continues Stepdad Duties Amid Lily Allen Album

David Harbour is committed to spending family time with his stepchildren, despite being separated from their mother, Lily Allen. 

Harbour was spotted hanging out with Allen’s kids at a theme park. Meanwhile, Allen is still basking in the aftermath of her newly released album, in which she speaks about her failed marriage to Harbour. 

Harbour and Allen tied the knot in 2020 but went their separate ways in 2025. 

As seen on a TikTok video, David Harbour recently spent the day with Lily Allen’s children, 13-year-old Ethel Mary and 12-year-old Marnie Rose. The trio was spotted in Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, dressed in fun outfits for the outing. 

The actor donned a bright red “Super Mario”-themed shirt paired with casual pants and a bucket hat, while his stepchildren kept it fun with shorts, tank tops, and playful, colorful headbands. According to Page Six, an eyewitness said they were “all smiles, and they were having a great time.”

While Harbour played the stepfather role, Allen was noticeably absent from the outing, as she had just released her new album the day before. 

Fans online were quick to notice the English singer’s absence from the outing, and many slammed her for being more focused on her album than on her kids. 

One fan wrote, “So he’s there with Lily’s children while she promotes an album,” and another penned, “His ex-wife is so in the wrong, I’m happy to see him out and thriving despite her petty drama!” 

Other fans criticized Allen for attempting to “humiliate” him on her new album. “So while she’s out there humiliating him, Harbout is on vacation with her kids? I can’t cope with this,” one fan lamented. 

“So he is on holiday with Lily’s kids whilst she promotes an album slagging him off? Says a lot,” another added. Another fan argued that the “Stranger Things” actor has been “very wonderful with Allen” and compared the singer to Amber Heard for allegedly trying to tarnish Harbour’s name. 

“I hope you can get the real word out. Love him,” the fan wrote. 

Fans’ criticism of Allen came a few days after “West End Girl” was released. As reported by The Blast, the new project gave insights into the 40-year-old songwriter’s broken marriage to Harbour.

In one song, the singer accused her ex-lover of being untrustworthy and seemingly name-dropped his mistress. “I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth… Who the f-ck is Madeline?” she sang. 

The song further details Allen’s regret over reading a text, noting that “if it was just sex,” she wouldn’t be jealous. “You won’t play with me, and who the f-ck is Madeline?” the lyrics further read. 

Allen’s album left fans speculating about Madeline’s true identity. However, the singer soon came forward to reveal that Madeline is simply a fictional character and isn’t tied to a real person. 

According to The Blast, she also acknowledged that “intimacy is inherently messy” because while relationships can be great, sometimes, boundaries are often crossed. 

Although she didn’t directly name Harbour, Allen’s statements implied that there may have been some boundary issues in her relationship with the 50-year-old actor. 

Shortly before Allen released her new album, she opened up about how it felt to be back in the dating scene following her split from Harbour. 

The Grammy Award nominee admitted that she wrote “West End Girl” from a place of deep pain and revealed that not having her person to lean on is “really sad” and “hard.”

“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 added, per The Blast. 

Still on the topic of struggling to date again, Allen shared that she has never considered an open marriage. 

The “Not Fair” singer revealed that she grew up in an “unstable household,” which made her develop an unhealthy attachment style.

As such, she now craves stability in her adult relationships and would likely not thrive in an open marriage.
