What a Smile, Lily!
Star is a picture of happiness as she frolics in the Caribbean surf with Stranger Things husband
IN THE words of her hit song, Lily Allen just goes ahead and smiles as she frolics in the sea with husband David Harbour on a sunshine getaway in the Caribbean.
Loved-up Lily, 37, was pictured kissing David – the star of the Netflix sci-fi drama Stranger Things – on a beach in St Barts.
Wearing mix-and-match aquamarine bottoms and a halterneck triangle bikini top, Lily completed her indy look with gold chains, a heartshaped pendant and gold rings.
Perhaps she was also laughing off a backlash for ‘nepo-baby’ remarks she made last month.
Lily, whose mother is film producer Alison Owen and whose father is actor Keith Allen, suggested nepotism was a much bigger problem in politics, law and finance than in the entertainment industry. She was forced to back-pedal a few days later, posting: ‘I think it’s important to disclose what a privileged upbringing I’ve had and how that has created so many opportunities for me.’
David, who gave up alcohol in his early 20s, has said his role as a father figure to Eleven – played by British actress Millie Bobby Brown in Stranger Things – helped prepare him to be stepdad to Lily’s daughters Marnie, 11, and nine-year-old Ethel.
The couple met in 2019 after matching with each other on a dating app. They were married a year later by an Elvis impersonator in a Las Vegas ceremony before celebrating their nuptials with burgers at fast food restaurant In-N-Out.
Lily’s girls are from her first marriage to builder Sam Cooper. Last week she, David, 47, and Marnie were spotted on a boat trip off St Barts.
Lily has resumed her acting career and in 2021 made her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, for which she received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress.
