Following the release of Lily Allen<\/a>’s explosive new album detailing the demise of her marriage to David Harbour<\/a>, fans are predicting somewhat of a ‘nightmare’ for the Stranger Things<\/a> actor in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Rumours of trouble in paradise<\/a> between Lily and David, who wed in 2020, first started swirling in early 2024, with the then-couple quickly quashing speculation that they were ‘living separate lives’.<\/p>\n

However, it appears all was far from rosy behind the scenes, as Lily, 40, and David, 50, confirmed last December that they were, in fact, divorcing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the months since, there’s been plenty of speculation surrounding what led to the high-profile split, with accusations of infidelity on David’s part gaining momentum.<\/p>\n

While the TV star is yet to respond to the allegations that he was cheating on Lily\u2014potentially for as long as three years with an unnamed costume designer\u2014the LDN hitmaker has seemingly given her side of the story in her new record, West End Girl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Lily explores themes such as cheating, sex addiction, and open relationships, shocking lyrics include<\/a> references to an ‘arrangement’ between the former spouses, who allegedly agreed to sleep with other people, but they had to be ‘strangers’.<\/p>\n

Lily also tears into a mystery woman, whom she names ‘Madeline’<\/a>, suggesting David had an affair with someone his wife knew well.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the album\u2019s release, fans have taken over social media<\/a> with their reactions, noting the apt timing of its drop, given that David is due to start promoting the final season of Netflix<\/a>’s Stranger Things and will possibly have to dodge some awkward questions.<\/p>\n

What’s more, the Jim Hopper actor appears to have disabled his Instagram<\/a> comments, preventing Lily supporters from inundating him with accusations.<\/p>\n
