David Harbour 'dating young model' as ex Lily Allen 'thinks romance began before their split'

David Harbour is reportedly dating aspiring model and actress Ellie Fallon after his split from Lily Allen.

The Stranger Things actor, 49, and Smile singer, 39, called things off in December following four years of marriage after he was reportedly caught on the celebrity dating app Raya.

Soon after the separation, Harbour was seen on a New Year trip to India with 27-year-old Fallon, who is 22 years younger than the Hollywood actor.

Allen is “very upset” over the romance after seeing a photo of Fallon smoking one of Harbour’s favourite brands of cigar, sources told The Mail on Sunday.

Fallon posted the provocative snap on Instagram in October, several weeks before Harbour and Allen’s split, which has reportedly led the singer to believe there was an overlap.

“Lily is aware of the romance and has been very upset,” an insider told the outlet on Sunday.

The source added: “Seeing the picture Ellie posted of herself smoking a cigar, taken weeks before Lily and David called it quits, has convinced her that Ellie and David had been seeing each other before they split.

“After all, how many 26-year-olds smoke cigars?”

Harbour is often spotted smoking cigars in public and was pictured puffing on one during a stroll with Scarlett Johansson last month.

The Hellboy star is believed to have met Fallon in Atlanta, Georgia, where he has been living for a year to film the fifth and final series of Stranger Things.

The Standard has contacted representatives for Harbour, Fallon, and Allen for comment.

Allen and Harbour met on Raya in 2019 and married in Las Vegas a year later. They had been living in New York and looking after the two children she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper.

The couple split shortly before Christmas after she reportedly caught him using Raya.

The singer allegedly created her own profile on Raya to see if he was on it and cross-referenced women on the app with women Harbour was following on Instagram.

The Mail pictured a Raya profile that appears to be of Harbour, who describes himself as 47 and a “closet nerd who plays tough guys on TV”.

Earlier this week, Allen revealed she stayed at a £8,000-per-week trauma treatment centre after battling “emotional turmoil”.

Last month, reports surfaced that she had checked herself into the facility after confiding in friends that she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown in the wake of her breakup.

Discussing her stay on her podcast Miss Me?, Allen said: “It was a big decision to have to leave [her kids] for a few weeks to go and focus on myself but ultimately it was for them so that I can get us through this bit. I needed some help to be able to do that.

“I don't want them to ever feel like they have to prop me up. None of this is their fault and it's my job to support them and make them feel safe and secure, and I just don't think I was able to do that because of the emotional turmoil that I was in at the time.”
