Lily Allen's Fashionable Exit: Stylish Shopping Spree in NYC Before Moving Back to London
LILY ALLEN'S NEW YORK NIGHTMARE: SINGER SPOTTED SHOPPING IN NYC JUST WEEKS AFTER REVEALING SHE'S LEAVING THE CITY FOR GOOD
It's been a whirlwind few months for Lily Allen, but it seems the singer is finally starting to move on from her marriage woes. The 40-year-old was spotted out and about in New York City on Monday, looking stylish as ever as she hit the shops with a friend.
But don't be fooled by her carefree demeanor - behind closed doors, Lily has been dealing with the aftermath of her split from husband David Harbour. The couple's marriage ended in acrimony earlier this year, with reports emerging that David had cheated on Lily using celebrity dating app Raya.
According to insiders, Lily was left "in agony" when she discovered David's secret profile on the app. But rather than letting it get her down, the pop star took matters into her own hands and joined Raya herself - pretending to be looking for women in a bid to uncover the truth about her husband's alleged infidelity.
It's no surprise that Lily has been using this time to focus on herself and start fresh. The singer has just revealed that she's buying an ex-council flat in London, where she'll live with her two daughters. And it seems she's thrown herself into decorating the property - which she's dubbed a "dream come true" - as a way of coping with the stress of her break-up.
Speaking on her popular Miss Me? podcast back in March, Lily opened up about her new home, revealing that she's been wanting to live in the area since she was a baby. "This flat that I've bought is in a social housing building," she explained. "I kind of gave myself a 'get out' clause because it is slap bang in the area which I grew up in, so I don't feel like I am coming from outside and coming into the area and gentrifying it."
But despite her best efforts to put the past behind her, Lily has admitted that she's been struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation in her New York home. "I've been feeling incredibly low," she revealed on the podcast. "I don't have much to do here, and I'm just feeling extremely heavy."
It seems that a change of scenery is just what Lily needed - and it looks like she's making the most of her time in the Big Apple while she still can. With her shopping trip on Monday, the singer proved that she's still got style for miles - even if she does have to leave New York behind soon.
So what's next for Lily Allen? With a new home on the horizon and a fresh start on the cards, it's clear that this talented singer is ready to take on whatever comes her way. Will we see her back in the spotlight anytime soon? Only time will tell - but one thing's for sure: with Lily Allen at the helm, you can bet it'll be an interesting ride.
