David Harbour Made An Emotional Announcement About His Marriage With Lily Allen

Fans were sent into a frenzy when Stranger Things’ David Harbour wed pop star Lily Allen at the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas, California. Their romance – while beloved by the internet – had been a whirlwind. Interestingly, though, Harbour would soon reveal the emotional reason why they decided to take the plunge.

Dress Shopping

On that fateful day in September 2020, Allen had been dress shopping with her daughter Ethel. The British star was looking for something in particular, despite having already rented another dress which was whisking its way to her Las Vegas hotel room. Allen found what she was looking for in the back room of a local store: a white Dior number in an off-the-shoulder style.

One Hour Prior

Allen told Sunday Times Style that she asked Ethel her opinion, and the young girl replied, “I really don’t think you’re leaving this shop without it.” Apparently, this sealed the deal! Allen bought the dress and made the trip to her destination for the day: Graceland. There – in her dress that she’d bought an hour before the event – the singer married Harbour.

Fairy Tale Ending?

And Harbour hasn’t been shy about declaring his love for pop star Allen. In June 2021 the No Sudden Move star told reporters at the Tribeca Film Festival, “I’m in awe of her. I think she’s a remarkable, extraordinary woman and beautiful, talented, lovely, caring…” It’s a fairytale ending for two people who have taken vastly different paths to love and fame.

Impressive Resume

Before 2016, Harbour was a working actor in Hollywood – but not exactly a leading man. He’d had small supporting roles in movies like The Green Hornet, Brokeback Mountain, Quantum of Solace and End of Watch. Harbour also enjoyed recurring parts in television shows such as Pan Am and The Newsroom.
