How Lily Allen was left “in agony” after she turned detective and discovered her Stranger Things husband David Harbor was looking for other women on the celebrity dating app

Lily Allen became an amateur detective after suspecting her husband of cheating and was left in agony when she discovered the actor had a secret profile on celebrity dating app Raya, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Pop star Allen, 39, played detective by joining the app herself and pretending to “look for women” – and discovered her husband David Harbour, 49, had already set up a dating profile. The app said it had been active for at least a month.

Raya is so exclusive that it only accepts about 8 percent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, 100,000 of which are on the waitlist. Once users find a new partner, they usually deactivate their profile.

A source said: “Lily looked for women who were on Raya and compared them to women David follows on Instagram to find out who he was seeing. ‘She was doing her Wagatha thing.’

Former England football star Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen has been famously dubbed “Wagatha Christie” after she became an internet detective and identified our WAG colleague Rebekah Vardy as the alleged leaker of stories about her.

Allen, 39, met Harbor on Raya in 2019 and they both deleted their accounts after enjoying a whirlwind romance before getting married in Las Vegas a year later.

A source told The Mail on Sunday last night: “Lily only went back to Raya to find out if he was seeing anyone.”

“Lily has never looked at anyone since she met David. She is devastated. He broke up with Lily a month ago. “He was supposed to be on holiday with her in Kenya over Christmas.”

The singer has not made any public statements about her relationship with Harbor since it was revealed they had parted ways last month, but a friend of the Smile hitmaker confirmed that they had officially “separated.”

Harbour’s dating profile, published exclusively by MoS, reads: “Travelling from Atlanta to New York” and “Basement nerd playing tough guys on your TV.”

He calls his profile song “Houses Of The Holy” by Led Zeppelin.

Harbor describes herself as living in Atlanta, Georgia, 800 miles from the family’s home in Brooklyn, New York, where the couple moved in 2020 while Allen enrolled her children in local schools.

He bought a house in Atlanta last year so he could be closer to the Stranger Things set.

The show is currently filming its fifth and final season. Allen’s London circle of friends say they have believed since the fall that her husband was interested in other women.

“He’s been living in Atlanta filming for a year.”

Further social media sleuthing by the Mail on Sunday revealed that Harbor was in India last week and was reportedly seen on Thursday with another woman at a temple in Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. He and the woman were accompanied by a guide.

Harbor posed for a photo with a fan at his temple, but made sure his friend, described as “not blonde, very slim and between 22 and 30 years old,” did not appear in the picture.

One fan expressed his surprise on social media after spotting Harbor in India, saying: “Stranger things happen.”

“Now I have the coolest story to tell: I was walking the holy streets of Rishikesh with David Harbor and thinking about life.”

At the time, Allen was 3,000 miles away in Kenya, vacationing without David and instead retreating with her children.
