In a surprising turn of events, British singer Lily Allen has unfollowed her husband, David Harbour, on Instagram. This comes just seven weeks after the couple celebrated their third wedding anniversary. The Stranger Things star, who remains in New York, still follows Allen on the social media platform, adding to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
The reason behind Allen’s decision to unfollow Harbour may stem from the physical distance between them. While the Smile singer has been living in the UK, starring in the West End production of The Pillowman, her husband has been residing in New York. Long-distance relationships can be challenging, and it seems that these difficulties may have taken a toll on Allen.
Just last month, the couple was spotted looking happier than ever at the Chanel and W magazine dinner in New York City. Allen was captured beaming while taking a photo of her husband on a digital camera. It’s perplexing to see such moments of joy juxtaposed with her recent decision to unfollow him on Instagram.
Allen and Harbour tied the knot in 2020 following a whirlwind romance. They got married in Las Vegas, and the actor has since become a loving stepfather to Allen’s two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, from her previous marriage. Their relationship seemed to be flourishing, with Allen even expressing how the pandemic had a positive impact on their connection.
During an appearance on Alan Carr’s Life’s a Beach podcast, Allen shared how the pandemic brought them closer together. At the time of the outbreak, their relationship was still in its early stages, and they were not yet considering living together. However, due to the circumstances, Allen invited Harbour to stay with her and her daughters in the UK.
The uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic and Harbour’s isolation in New York prompted Allen’s decision to have him join her in the UK. The couple ended up living together for six months, allowing their relationship to develop further. It seemed like a positive and transformative experience for both of them.
With Allen’s recent decision to unfollow Harbour on Instagram, questions arise about the state of their relationship. Social media can often be a reflection of personal dynamics, and Allen’s action hints at potential strain between the couple. However, it is important not to jump to conclusions just based on online behavior.
Only time will tell how Allen and Harbour navigate this bump in their relationship. Distance and the challenges of balancing personal and professional lives are common struggles for couples. What matters most is open communication and the willingness to work through difficulties. As fans, we can only hope for the best for this couple who seemed so in love not long ago.
