Lily Allen and David Harbour are moving forward with their separation by selling the family home they shared in Brooklyn, New York. The property, a distinctive 19th-century Italianate brownstone in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood, is reportedly under contract for $7.99 million—a profit over the $7 million the couple initially paid for it.
Colorful Residence and Relationship Timeline
The home, designed with input from architect Ben Bischoff and designer Billy Cotton, was known for its vibrant, whimsical interior, often described as an “Alice in Wonderland” aesthetic. Allen and Harbour purchased the property in 2021, shortly after marrying in a 2020 Las Vegas elopement officiated by an Elvis impersonator.
Harbour became stepfather to Allen’s two daughters, Ethel (born 2011) and Marnie (born 2013). The couple’s marriage lasted until 2025, when they publicly separated amid reports of infidelity and irreconcilable differences.
Divorce Proceedings and Public Disclosures
The split was widely covered in the media, with insiders citing a breakdown in trust as the primary cause. Allen alluded to the circumstances in her 2025 album, West End Girl, suggesting Harbour violated the terms of their open relationship by engaging with known acquaintances rather than strangers.
The sale of the Brooklyn home marks a significant step in finalizing the divorce proceedings. The couple had initially listed the property for $8 million before settling on the current sale price.
The transaction represents a financial resolution to one aspect of the separation, allowing both parties to move forward independently. This sale concludes another chapter in a high-profile divorce marked by both personal turmoil and public scrutiny.
