David Harbour<\/strong> has kept silent in the wake of his split from wife Lily Allen<\/strong><\/a> and a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> he\u2019s pouring his efforts into acting while vowing to keep things as civilized as possible with the British pop star.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDavid is an extremely ambitious guy, he\u2019s able to keep his eyes on the prize and do the steps, and that is how he\u2019s handling this divorce,\u201d the insider says. \u201cSure, he could lash out and air out his grievances, but he\u2019s choosing to stay totally silent and stoic in the face of a lot of mud being slung his way.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Stranger Things<\/em> actor, 49, tied the knot with pop star Lily, 39, in September 2020. Their marriage started out quirky, yet passionate \u2014 they had an Elvis impersonator officiate in Las Vegas after being inspired by a comment from Lily\u2019s daughters, Ethel<\/strong>, 13, and Marnie<\/strong>, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper<\/strong> \u2014 but soured into a dour affair just a few years later.<\/span><\/p>\n Before announcing their divorce in February 2025, a second source told Life & Style<\/em><\/a> the two had \u201cbeen leading separate lives for months \u2026 She\u2019s been so busy with her play in London, and he\u2019s spent a lot of time back in the States. No doubt the long distance has taken a toll.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Whether it was the distance,\u00a0 or the Raya dating app profile Lily allegedly discovered David was using, that ultimately ended their marriage, the first source notes the Hellboy<\/em> star is trying his best to take the high road and not respond to the accusations \u2014 for the good of his career.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe knows anything he says will be on the public record forever and he doesn\u2019t want that following him around,\u201d the insider says. \u201cHe has huge goals when it comes to his work, he wants to do Broadway, he wants more blockbusters, the last thing he wants is for his name to become synonymous with a messy divorce.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So far, both parties have been fairly quiet about their split, though a different source told People<\/em><\/a> the British pop star is \u201cdevastated and not in a good place<\/a>,\u201d adding that the impending divorce has \u201cbeen very hard for her and her girls,\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s been a bad start to the new year, but Lily is tough. She\u2019s very good at prioritizing herself when she has to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As for David, the first source insists \u201cstaying tight-lipped<\/a> is the smart move,\u201d as he plans to expand his Hollywood career, though according to Daily Mail<\/em><\/a> he has already moved on with aspiring model Ellie Fallon<\/strong>, who is 22 years younger than him. She even posted pics of herself smoking David\u2019s favorite brand of cigar to Instagram \u2014 a move Daily Mail<\/em>\u2019s source claimed made Lily \u201cvery upset.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The first insider is also wary of the rushed relationship. \u201cThe only problem, of course, is that he\u2019s already moved on with a much younger wanna-be model who\u2019s very eye-catching and only 27 years old.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
