David Harbour and Lily Allen have come a long way since meeting on a dating app.
The duo first sparked romance speculation in August 2019 after they attended a play together in London. Two months later, they made their red carpet debut at a Skin Cancer Foundation Event.
Allen and Harbour tied the knot in Las Vegas after they were inspired by a comment made by Allen’s daughters, Ethel and Marnie, whom she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper.
“We were riding around at the beginning of the [coronavirus] pandemic — she has two kids, these beautiful daughters, 8 and 9 — and we were riding bikes out in the country trying to figure out what we were gonna do for the next year or however long it was going to take,” the Stranger Things star recalled during a June 2021 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “And the little one was riding along and she was going like, ‘David, Dad, David, Dad.’ Because the ‘d’ got her confused. And the older one got very upset with that, which I understand, and she was like, ‘He’s not our dad! He’s not our dad!'”
He continued: “And the younger one was like, ‘Well, what is he? He’s kind of our dad.’ She’s like, ‘No, he’s not.’ ‘He’s kind of our stepdad.’ ‘No, he’s not,” he continued. “And she goes, ‘What is he?’ And she goes, ‘He’s just some guy in our lives!’ … I was like, ‘I need to marry this woman.'”

"And the little one was riding along and she was going like, ‘David, Dad, David, Dad.’ Because the ‘d’ got her confused. And the older one got very upset with that, which I understand, and she was like, 'He’s not our dad! He’s not our dad!'" He continued: "And the younger one was like, ‘Well, what is he?

I was like, ‘I need to marry this woman.'"
October 2020
"I wasn’t able at that point to communicate my wants and needs, and so things broke down [with my ex-husband]," Allen told Womanizer one month after the wedding, explaining that she and Harbour focus on communication.

July 2021
The Equalizer actor gave some insight into the start of his romance with Allen, telling The New York Times that they began dating while he was in the middle of filming Black Widow. “It’s a true testament to my undeniable charisma when I say that my wife met me at 280 pounds with this beard and this hair,” he joked in July 2021. "We went on a date at The Wolseley [restaurant] in London, and she really fell for me at my worst, physically and hair-wise." After filming wrapped, Harbour began losing the weight he gained for the role, and it took his now-wife some time to get used to his new look. “So as the thing went on, I started losing the weight and working out,” he explained. “And she honestly has some mixed feelings about it.”
July 2021
"[Stranger Things] sort of opened my heart in a lot of different ways. And one of the ways [was that] it made me realize how thin my existence was without a family," Harbour said during a July 2021 appearance on the “That Scene With Dan Patrick” podcast. "I think there was something in Hopper that had a deep need in family. And there was something in me that had it too that I wasn’t aware of. [This] role allowed me to do that in my real life."

July 2022
“I was in London alone, doing Black Widow, on this app, going on dates and stuff. And yeah, I started texting with her, she was in Italy at the time — we got together, went on a date at the Wolseley, and it was, you know, she’s f--king unbelievable,” the Stranger Things star told British GQ about his introduction to Allen. Harbour also opened up about the moment he knew the musician was The One. "It was our third date. I was just in this phase, where I was like, I’m just going to be brutally honest about everything, because why lie? And I told her something about my life, about my beliefs,” he shared. “It would take a really extraordinary person to be accepting of the things that I said. And I remember thinking, 'Wow, that’s somebody I want to be around.'"

October 2025
Allen released her album West End Girl, which chronicled the breakdown of her marriage to Harbour and insinuated that the actor may have cheated on the English singer-songwriter. In “Sleepwalking,” she sings, “Been no romance since we wed / ‘Why aren’t we f***ing, baby?’ Yeah, that’s what you said / But you let me think it was me in my head / And nothing to do with them girls in your bed.” Harbour’s rep did not respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.
