Did 'Stranger Things' star David Harbour CHEAT on Lily Allen? 'West End Girl' lyrics implies 'open marriage', 'secret pregnancy' and more
Singer-songwriter Lily Allen's marriage to 'Stranger Things' actor David Harbour is back in the headlines following her shocking claims in her newly released album 'West End Girl'.
The singer has social media abuzz over the lyrics of her songs that imply that she and her husband had an 'arrangement' for an open marriage and how things eventually went south.
While Allen never mentions Harbour by name, nor mentions his alleged lovers, her songs give details about their 'arrangement' and eventual emotional fallout when her partner violated their agreement.
However, in the song, 'Madeline', she goes on to detail, 'We had an arrangement / Be discreet and don’t be blatant / There had to be payment / It had to be with strangers / But you’re not a stranger, Madeline.'
Although the woman in question is not named 'Madeline', fans online have speculated that the person may have been someone Harbour met on the film sets. Rumours are rife that he could have even had a romance with a 'Stranger Things' star, considering that Allen refers to the word “stranger” several times in the album.
In 'P–sy Palace', the singer even details discovering her partner’s "double life." From alleging that she found his stash of sex toys to lubricant and “hundreds” of condoms, she asks, "How did I get caught up in your double life?"
Meanwhile, in '4chan Stan', she even wonders if he was involved with someone famous, while singing of a luxury bag that her partner purchased from Bergdorf Goodman. She sings, 'You took someone shopping there in May 24… You bought her a handbag, it wasn’t cheap / I was in London, probably asleep.'
'Why won’t you tell me what her name is? This is outrageous / What, is she famous?'
The song 'Tennis' also raised eyebrows over Allen confronting her partner about the flings and asking if it was “just sex, or is there emotion?”
Speaking to Vogue this week, the singer said the album was "inspired by what went on in the relationship." However, she also cautioned listeners saying, "There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage. But that’s not to say that it’s all gospel."
