Lily Allen is praised by close friends Miquita and Andi Oliver for 'rebuilding' herself after going through 'absolute hell' when divorce from David Harbour 'nearly broke her'

Lily Allen has been praised by her close friends Miquita and Andi Oliver for 'rebuilding' herself after her divorce from David Harbour 'nearly broke her.' 

The singer, 40, and the actor, 50, tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2020 before splitting in 2024, with Lily detailing his alleged affair in her West End Girl album. 

Speaking in the latest issue of Good Housekeeping UK, mother-daughter duo, Andi and Miquita said she went through 'absolute hell.' 

Miquita said: 'It’s not been easy for Lily. But we’re still silly with each other, and I doubt the playfulness we had as children will ever leave us now.'

Andi added: 'You know, Lily nearly broke last year. She’s been through absolute hell, and it’s been extraordinary to see her rebuild herself.

'I’m incredibly proud of her. Miquita nearly broke when she had to declare herself bankrupt but, like Lily, she rebuilt herself.' 

Lily had a tumultuous year which kicked off with news of her split from David after four years of marriage.

The breakdown of her relationship prompted Lily to seek treatment at a mental health facility. At the time, she explained on her podcast that her priority was being the best mother possible.

Speaking candidly on her podcast Miss Me? with Miquita, Lily previously said: 'I've done quite a lot this year.

'I've finished an album, I got a boob job, I had a nervous breakdown, I went into hospital for a bit, I came out, I did some podcasting for a while, then I played one of the hardest tracks in theatre and killed myself [in the role of Hedda Gabler] every night for seven weeks.'

Lily has since moved on with new love interest Jonah Freud, with the pair seen leaving a Paris Fashion Week event together on Tuesday. 

Jonah is the son of entrepreneur Matthew Freud and ex-wife Caroline Hutton and the nephew of celebrated late artist Lucian Freud. 

The pair have been spotted on multiple dates and recently took things to the next level by jetting to Italy together - reportedly staying in a suite at the Hotel Locarno, thought to cost around £800 per night. 

Days after their holiday, Lily flew to Paris where she was seen heading out to a party during the city's Haute Couture Fashion Week.  

The trip to Paris comes after Lily's romantic break to Rome with writer Jonah Freud, 28, following the breakdown of her marriage to David.  

Lily and Jonah took their romance to the next level by jetting to Rome for a mini-break, weeks after sharing a passionate kiss.

She was seen on a coffee date with the writer outside the Sant' Eustachio Caffè in Rome.

Spotting the pair in Rome, a source told The Sun: 'We walked past her and it was my daughter-in-law who recognised her and went, "Oh my God, it's Lily Allen."

'We did a double take, and it was definitely her, she was with Jonah Freud. They were just having a coffee and a cigarette together.'

After weeks of speculation that she is in a relationship with writer Jonah Freud the pair were spotted kissing at her celeb-packed Christmas party at London's Stringfellow's in December. 

In a revenge dress that put her straight on the naughty list, the pop star painted the town red – a far cry from last Christmas, which she is said to have spent alone after splitting from her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour. 

She and Jonah had their arms around each other in several photos before they were pictured sharing a kiss in front of the rest of the guests, in snaps acquired by TMZ. 

Meanwhile the month before, Lily was spotted enjoying a cosy-looking dinner date with Jonah in a west London restaurant.

Lily brushed off the recent talk surrounding her marriage as she spent an evening at the Michelin-starred Dorian in Notting Hill.

The pair looked cosy while chatting and laughing over dinner and are said to have spent more than two hours together before leaving the venue separately. 

The pair were also pictured together back in September at an Oasis party held at the Chiltern Firehouse.
