Singer Lily Allen has been photographed sharing a passionate kiss with author Jonah Freud at a celebrity holiday party in London, marking a new chapter as she navigates her divorce from actor David Harbour.
The intimate moment occurred on Friday night at a Stringfellows Christmas bash, where Allen, 40, and Freud were seen cozying up in multiple photographs. Images captured the pair kissing and holding each other closely, with Allen dressed in a festive Santa Claus-inspired outfit and Freud in a sharp suit. The event was attended by numerous celebrities, adding to the buzz around their public display of affection.
According to reports from Page Six and Yahoo Entertainment, the photos show Allen leaning her head against Freud and smiling warmly, indicating a comfortable rapport between the two. Witnesses noted that they did not shy away from public displays of affection, suggesting a budding romance amidst the holiday festivities. This outing comes as Allen is in the midst of finalizing her divorce from David Harbour, the ‘Stranger Things’ star she married in 2020.
The couple officially separated in September 2025, though Allen hinted in a November interview on ‘CBS Mornings’ that their split may have occurred earlier, possibly before Christmas 2024. Allen has been open about her personal struggles during this period, revealing that she checked herself into a facility for help after feeling her life was ‘falling apart.’ She discussed this in the context of her new album, ‘West End Girl,’ which features songs that nod to her breakup with Harbour.
On Harbour’s side, he has reportedly been seen on the celebrity dating app Raya and was spotted with a much-younger woman earlier this year, indicating both parties are moving on. The divorce proceedings are ongoing, with details being hashed out privately between their representatives. Allen and Freud have been linked before, having been seen together at an Oasis party at the Chiltern Firehouse in London last September.
As the news spreads, fans and media are watching to see how this new relationship unfolds against the backdrop of Allen’s high-profile divorce. With the holiday season in full swing, this development adds a personal twist to Allen’s public narrative, showcasing her resilience and willingness to embrace new beginnings.
