Lily Allen’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” has ignited renewed speculation regarding her ex-husband David Harbour amid the release of her new album, “West End Girl.” Her performance of the song “Madeline,” which reportedly reflects the complexities surrounding their marriage, has drawn significant attention and stirred mixed emotions for Harbour, according to insiders.
Reports from Closer indicate that Harbour is feeling the impact of Allen’s rising fame as she shares the personal stories behind her music. While publicly he expresses pride in her achievements, sources claim that privately, he is grappling with the implications of her performance. An insider noted, “He’s saying he’s pleased for Lily, but the reality is that it’s been a big blow to his ego, and he absolutely hates it!”
The tension escalated due to the performance’s setting in New York, a city that Harbour considers his home base. This proximity has further complicated his feelings, with sources revealing that he was noticeably upset following her appearance. The buzz surrounding her upcoming North American tour only adds to the pressure he is experiencing.
Moreover, the presence of Dakota Johnson during the performance reportedly contributed to Harbour’s distress. Friends of Harbour have shared that he feels her performance conveyed a direct message, symbolizing support for Allen from within the industry and deepening his sense of isolation.
With the atmosphere filled with rumors and public scrutiny, Harbour is reportedly distressed about the ongoing narrative involving alleged cheating and his public image. The dynamic between him and Allen continues to capture public interest, showcasing how intertwined their personal and professional lives have become amid Allen’s musical resurgence.
