As the poster girl of late-Noughties hedonism, Lily Allen is known for her heart-on-her-sleeve indiscretions, particularly when it comes to her sex life and former addictions to drugs and alcohol. And the pop star turned actor is now dropping hints that there is trouble in her home life.

'I'm having a bit of a rough time of it at the moment,' she admitted recently on the Miss Me? podcast she hosts with her best friend, the presenter Miquita Oliver. 'But I'm trying to soldier on.'. In a previous episode, she told how her two daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, had found themselves in the firing line.

'I exploded and screamed at the kids. I was like, 'I can't handle this at the moment; I'm going through so much, I need you two to behave yourselves'.'. She then explained to them: 'We're all going through some difficult stuff at the moment, so I apologise, and I'm sorry.'.
For some, a potential clue to the cause of her turmoil came when Lily, who is married to Stranger Things star David Harbour, announced: 'I'm so bored of men.'. In another segment she described Aaron Batterham, the boyfriend of her mother Alison, as a 'pillar of support' and 'the main male person in my life that is great and supportive to me'. No mention of David, then.
Friends of the 39-year-old singer, are concerned for her wellbeing. They say she is 'struggling', with one adding: 'I hope that everything is OK between her and David.'. Lily Allen and husband David Harbour at the Met Gala in 2022. The couple have been here before, as rumours of a split surfaced last year, not helped by Lily's revelation that she sometimes goes days without texting David. But the couple did a good job of dispelling the chatter by appearing in the front row of basketball game in November last year, smiling and cosying up to one another.
