Lily Allen has left her followers puzzled after posting a cryptic video referencing the “brutal” cycle of life, following reports of her separation from husband David Harbour.
Split Confirmed After Five Years
According to DailyMail.com, the 39-year-old singer has ended her five-year relationship with the Stranger Things actor, 49. Reports of their split gained further traction when Lily was spotted on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya.
Amid ongoing speculation about her personal life, Allen shared an Instagram video on Monday featuring a pride of lions devouring a zebra carcass. The post, captioned simply with “That circle of life. brutal,” marked a significant departure from her usual content, which often includes updates about her life and podcast.
Rumors about trouble in their marriage have circulated for months, and a close friend of Allen confirmed the separation. Adding to the speculation, a source shared an image of the singer’s profile on Raya, which noted she was “visiting Los Angeles from New York” and included a tongue-in-cheek bio stating, “Looking for someone to start couples therapy with.”
While her account was visible on Raya, the friend clarified that Allen isn’t actively seeking dates as she still takes her marriage seriously.

Signs of Trouble in Paradise
Fans had noticed several signs pointing to the couple’s struggles:
Allen was seen without her engagement ring in recent public appearances.
She unfollowed Harbour on social media last year.
In December, Allen admitted on her podcast that she was “bored of men” and going through couples therapy with Harbour.
In a candid moment on her podcast, Allen opened up about her mental health, admitting she was “not in a great place mentally” and struggling with family pressures. She described a recent incident where she lost her temper with her children but later apologized, explaining that the family is “going through some difficult stuff.”
Allen also praised her mother’s boyfriend, Aaron Batterham, calling him a “pillar of support” and the “main male person in her life.”
Timeline of Lily and David’s Relationship
January 2019: The couple was first linked after attending the BAFTA Tea Party together.
November 2019: Lily was spotted wearing an engagement ring.
September 2020: They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony during the Covid-19 lockdown in New York.
As Allen navigates this challenging period, her fans and followers are left speculating about her cryptic posts and the next chapter in her life. Meanwhile, Harbour has yet to comment publicly on the separation.
Lily Allen’s Raya Profile Raises Questions
Allen’s dating app profile includes a lighthearted bio stating she’s “Looking for someone to start couples therapy with” and notes she is “visiting Los Angeles from New York.” Her account appears to target women interested in dating other women, though it remains unclear if she is seeking a romantic partner or simply exploring platonic connections.
The same friend revealed that, while Allen has a Raya account, she isn’t actively searching for dates. The singer reportedly “takes marriage very seriously” and has not yet filed for divorce.
Interestingly, Allen and Harbour initially met on Raya, a detail the singer has shared in past interviews. A representative for Harbour has yet to comment on the current situation.
Allen’s reappearance on the app comes shortly after she admitted on her podcast Miss Me? that she is “bored of men” and “not in a great place mentally.” She has previously been candid about her experiences, including hiring a “high-class hooker” during the breakdown of her previous marriage, as revealed in her 2018 autobiography.
The British singer-songwriter has also ventured into unconventional projects. In October, she shared that she began selling photos of her feet on OnlyFans, following advice from her pedicurist. Allen remarked on social media that this venture earned her more than royalties from her nearly 8 million monthly Spotify listeners.
