NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Lily Allen opened up about her celebrity interactions on social media during a chat with her 'Miss Me?' podcast co-host Miquita Oliver. 

During their candid chat, the 'Smile' hitmaker admitted that British rapper Central Cee slid into her DMs after her split from 'Stranger Things' actor David Harbour, as per Aceshowbiz.

While playing a game with her podcast co-host, Miquita Oliver, the topic of who is more likely to get messages from celebrities came up. Without hesitation, Oliver said, "It's Lily," and Allen confirmed, laughing, "It happens all the time."

Recounting the interaction, Allen said Central Cee sent her a casual message saying, "Where you at?" Her response? "I’m in the departures lounge at Heathrow Airport. Next time, sorry." When Oliver playfully questioned his intentions, Allen quipped, "Punani, obviously."

Central Cee, who gained fame with tracks like 'Day in the Life' and 'Loading', has been linked in the past to TikToker Madeline Argy and rapper Ice Spice.

Talks of Allen's split from Harbour surfaced in late 2024, and on an episode of her podcast, Allen opened up about experiencing severe panic attacks. She also admitted that she wasn't "in a good place" and had been "spiraling and spiraling." 

Lily Allen was 'devastated' on finding estranged husband David Harbour's profile on Raya

Lily Allen reportedly split from David Harbour after she found out that he maintained a secret profile on the celebrity dating app, Raya, according to the Daily Mail.

The couple, who first met on Raya in 2019 and tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony a year later in 2020, had both deleted their profiles after getting married. However, sources reveal that Harbour recently returned to the app, leaving Allen reeling.

The singer reportedly suspected Harbour of infidelity and rejoined Raya herself to investigate, pretending to search for women. "Lily was looking for women on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to figure out who he was seeing," a source told the publication.

Harbour's profile had reportedly been in use for at least a month. Another source added, "Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone. She has never even looked at anyone else since meeting David. She is devastated."

The discovery came as a particularly painful blow, as Harbour was supposed to join Allen on a Christmas holiday in Kenya. "The last few months have been truly agonizing for Lily. He broke up with her and left her devastated," a friend shared.

While neither Allen nor Harbour have directly addressed their relationship status, a friend of the singer has since confirmed that the couple has officially separated.

Allen, who shares two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, with ex-husband Sam Cooper, is now focusing on her own well-being.

It was reported last week that Allen had checked into a trauma treatment center after telling friends she was close to a nervous breakdown after the collapse of her marriage.
