He\u2019s been nominated for an Emmy, and it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We\u2019re all doing our own thing, and we\u2019re all doing what we\u2019re supposed to do. If there\u2019s one thing I know about David Harbour, it\u2019s that he\u2019s an excellent actor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Smile singer &#8211; who has daughters Ethel, 14, and 13-year-old Marnie with first husband Sam Cooper &#8211; confirmed she is in a new relationship but she is keen to &#8220;protect&#8221; the romance so won&#8217;t share too many details out of respect for her partner.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;&#8216;Yes, I have a boyfriend&#8217; is about as far as I\u2019m willing to go. I am actively trying to protect this relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if maintaining privacy is difficult, she said: &#8220;Yes, because I\u2019m not a particularly private person. I would be happy to share with the world all the intimate details of my life because I think what makes us human is discussing relationships.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But I\u2019m not the only person in these equations. There are other people. And so it\u2019s not so much my privacy; it\u2019s theirs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLily is feeling optimistic about life and thinks surrounding herself with &#8220;positive and supportive people&#8221; helps her maintain a bright outlook on life.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I\u2019m pretty filled with hope, and I\u2019m pretty optimistic. I feel like I don\u2019t spend as much time with people who bring out a more pessimistic side of me. I\u2019m surrounded by pretty positive and supportive people.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I can definitely be a victim of myself and spiral when things really are not that bad. And I think I\u2019ve found a way to keep out that noise.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My life is pretty good, you know? I\u2019ve done really well this year.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019ve gotten myself into a place where I\u2019m financially stable and self-sufficient. I\u2019m setting a good example for my kids. I\u2019m eating well. I\u2019m going on nice holidays. I\u2019m booked and I\u2019m busy.
