Who is Lily Allen's husband?

Lily Allen is married to actor 48-year-old David Harbour.

Harbour is best known for playing Jim Hopper in hit Netflix series Stranger Things, but has also starred in Hellboy, Black Widow and Extraction.

Lily and David confirmed their relationship back in October 2019, and got married a year later in Las Vegas.

They first met on celebrity dating site Raya, Lily previously revealed, a dating app where memberships have to be approved.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, the singer explained: "It was the first time I'd been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David's profile and pressed accept.

"I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show because he was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things."

She continued: "I don't even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it's a bit of fun.

"When I met him I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did [go somewhere]."

Speaking about Lily's two daughters, he joked: "I'm in a relationship with three women who all have very different opinions of me at various times."
