Music icon Lily, 39, and builder and decorator Sam, 46, tied the knot in 2011 before welcoming daughters Marnie, 12, and Ethel, 11. Lily also gave birth to their son in 2010, who was stillborn. They split in 2018, with Lily going on to marry Stranger Things star David, 49, the following year.

Last month, sources shared that the couple had split after a profile for Lily was found on the dating app Raya. Speaking on her podcast with Miquita Oliver, Smile hitmaker Lily has opened up on how, when previously going through difficult times, she felt she could open up to people and she ‘didn’t want it to end up in the papers’, possibly referencing her first marriage breakdown.

‘When I’m feeling lonely I cannot do the text,’ she told Miquita during the latest episode of Miss Me?. ‘I just feel like when I’m feeling low and lonely, I feel like a burden. I don’t want to offload my s**t onto other people. ‘I feel like, “It’s OK, you can handle this, you can do this, you’ll get through this and then you’ll be back, and then you’ll be fun Lily again”.’.

She then became teary as she opened up on her past, saying: ‘I think, also, there is, like, trauma from the noughties in that, when things were bad, or I felt guilt or shame around things that I didn’t want to tell people because I didn’t want it to end up in the papers…I feel like I can’t be honest about what’s going on in my life sometimes.’.
