Who Is Natalie Tippett? The Woman Linked to David Harbour After Lily Allen Split

On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, new details surfaced about the woman at the center of Lily Allen and David Harbour’s rumored breakup. Natalie Tippett, a 34-year-old costume designer from New Orleans, has come forward claiming she is the woman mentioned in Lily Allen’s new song Madeline.

The Smile singer released her latest album last Friday, and one song caught everyone’s attention. In Madeline, Lily seems to reference a woman who came between her and her ex-husband, actor David Harbour. The pair reportedly separated earlier this year after rumors of Harbour’s alleged three-year affair surfaced.

Who Is Natalie Tippett?

Natalie Tippett is a single mother with a two-year-old daughter. She lives in a beautifully decorated historic home in New Orleans, filled with neon lights and vintage furniture. Tippett works as a costume designer and describes herself online as a “COSTUMES//CREATOR//CURATOR.”

According to IMDb, she has worked on three major films — The Channel (2023), The Boogeyman (2023), and We Have a Ghost (2023). Her social media posts show a love for fashion, film, and creativity.

How Natalie Met David Harbour

Natalie reportedly met David Harbour while working on the Netflix movie We Have a Ghost in 2021. Harbour played the lead role in the horror comedy, and Tippett was part of the costume crew. Their professional connection allegedly turned into something more over time.

Sources claim the two stayed in touch after the filming wrapped. According to Tippett, their secret relationship was discovered when Lily Allen found a text message from her on Harbour’s phone.

The Song That Sparked the Drama

In Madeline, Lily Allen sings about finding a message on her partner’s phone. She hints at feelings of betrayal and heartbreak, saying: “So I read your text, and now I regret it. I can’t get my head round how you’ve been playing tennis. If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous. You won’t play with me and who’s Madeline?”

Fans quickly linked the lyrics to Harbour’s rumored affair, fueling speculation about Tippett’s identity.

Her Social Media and Interests

A look at Natalie Tippett’s Instagram shows she still follows David Harbour — and he follows her back. It’s unclear if they still communicate. Her posts reveal a deep interest in astrology and spirituality, featuring crystals, yoga, and zodiac captions like “Scorpio season.”

This detail connects with the lyric “Love and light, Madeline,” which many fans believe hints at her personality.

Where Things Stand Now

Neither David Harbour nor Lily Allen has publicly commented on Tippett’s interview. Harbour continues working on new projects, while Lily’s new album has sparked major public interest due to its raw, emotional lyrics.

Natalie Tippett’s revelation has reignited discussions online about celebrity relationships, infidelity, and privacy in Hollywood.
