Lily Allen and David Harbour are selling their New York City home following the release of her breakup album, West End Girl.
The pair listed their 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse for $7,995,000. The four-level abode features five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Allen, 40, and Harbour, who split in 2024, bought the house in 2021 for $3,350,000. They redesigned the property with the help of designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff, transforming the inside of the brownstone to have traditional English charm, modern Brooklyn sensibilities and a rich Italian influence.
The home’s casual living room features a built-in fireplace and direct access to the yard. The home also boasts a fully finished basement with a gym, storage space and laundry room.
The listing comes days after the British singer dropped West End Girl. The album made headlines as Allen insinuated via numerous tracks that her partner — whom fans are presuming is Harbour, 50 — was unfaithful during their marriage. (Harbor has not addressed the claims. The Stranger Things actor’s rep did not respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.)
In the titular track, Allen sings about moving to New York City with Harbour at the beginning of their relationship. After getting an offer for a lead role in a West End play, she informed her partner of the news and his “demeanor started to change.” Allen went home to London “all alone” to begin rehearsals. (The singer starred in 2021’s 2:22 A Ghost Story and 2023’s The Pillowman.)
In additional songs on the album, Allen recalls learning about her partner having an alleged affair.
“So I read your text, and now I regret it / I can’t get my head round how you’ve been playing tennis,” Allen sings in the “Tennis” chorus. “If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous / You won’t play with me and who’s Madeline?”
After using the name Madeline in “Tennis,” Allen also wrote a song titled “Madeline” about confronting the woman having an alleged affair with her partner.
“I know none of this is your fault / Messaging you feels kind of assaultive,” she sings. “Saw your text, that’s how I found out / Tell me the truth and his motives.”
While there have been theories about the identity of Madeline, Allen shared in a Saturday, October 25, interview with The Times of London that the person was a “fictional character” and a construct of multiple people, rather than one specific person.
“I just feel we are living in really interesting times — in terms of how we define intimacy and monogamy, people being disposable or not,” she told the outlet. “The way we are being intimate with each other is changing as humans. Lots of young women are not finding the idea of marriage or even a long-term relationship that attractive any more.”
Allen continued, “I don’t know [that] it’s necessarily bad. Lots of people from my parents’ generation stayed together forever and were miserable. You didn’t have endless choice so you may have worked at something harder. But now you don’t have to.”
