Lily Allen proved her career is going better than ever thanks to the release of her tell-all album West End Girl as she stepped out of a new £120,000 Porsche on Tuesday, Daily Mail reports.
The singer’s latest record, which details the breakdown of her marriage to David Harbour, has won rave reviews and she is due to embark on an arena tour in 2026.
The success of the album – which reached number 2 in the UK – means Lily Allen appears to have treated herself to an early Christmas present with her new set of wheels, according to the report by Daily Mail.
The hitmaker, 40, also proved she has expensive taste when it comes to fashion as she carried a £16,500 Hermes bag through the streets of East London.
Lily Allen wrapped up for the outing in a black knee-length coat which she paired with a brown scarf and matching tracksuit bottoms.
The mother-of-two also wore a dark top and completed her look with a grey beanie hat and a pair of sunglasses.
Lily’s album recounts in painfully raw detail the collapse of her four-year marriage to Stranger Things actor David.
At its emotional core sits Madeline, a blistering track devoted entirely to the woman Lily believes her husband was involved with during their marriage.
In it, Lily Allen sings of confronting the woman directly by text, asking: ‘How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?’
The lyrics sparked a frenzied online hunt among Lily’s millions of fans desperate to identify ‘Madeline’ – or, as the singer snarled in lyric form, ‘Who the f*** is Madeline?’
Despite Lily claiming the name was a pseudonym, the Mail on Sunday exclusively revealed Madeline to be costume designer Natalie Tippett.
It is understood that Natalie met 50-year-old David, who is 16 years her senior, while filming the Netflix movie We Have A Ghost in 2021, on location in New Orleans.
David was the movie’s leading man, while Natalie worked in the costume department. Their affair reportedly began shortly after shooting started.
But even after filming ended, he reportedly flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia, as the affair continued behind Lily’s back.
Natalie broke her silence on the cheating accusations in a series of Instagram posts over the weekend. She denied claims of a long-term affair and said she felt ‘extremely violated’ by the way she has been portrayed by Lily.
‘I did not have a three year affair with anyone,’ she wrote. ‘I’m unsure why this person wants so badly to pit people against me or create this narrative that we both know is false based on the actual messages that I have saved between us. The same ones that have now been referenced in a song without my consent.
‘I don’t weaponize women against women for the behaviour of men, especially not in an open relationship. I’m wishing her all the success, money, healing and happiness and whatever else she’s seeking through this.’
The 34-year-old single mother said she is ‘aware of the repercussions speaking out’ may cause, but that it couldn’t be worse than ‘having to watch someone profit off painful lies’.
‘I’m a human being, not a character someone created,’ she added.
David married Lily, who has two daughters, Ethel, 13, and 12-year-old Marnie from her previous marriage to Sam Cooper, in Las Vegas the year before.
The couple, who had met on the celebrity dating app Raya, had disabled their profiles following a whirlwind romance.
But Lily decided to re-join the app to check on her husband’s activity and discovered he had a secret profile which had been active for around a month.
A source said at the time: ‘Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing.’
Since the split, Lily has moved back to London and has bought an ex-council flat in a building near where she grew up.
She said: ‘I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it’s been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did.’
