THE woman at the centre of Lily Allen and David Harbour’s marriage split has been revealed as costume designer Natalie Tippett.
Natalie, 34, a single mother from New Orleans, met David on the set of the Netflix film We Have A Ghost in 2021, where she worked in the costume department.
The pair reportedly began an affair during filming, and David later flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
He had married Lily the previous year in a Las Vegas ceremony.
Speaking from her home in New Orleans’ historic Treme district, Natalie told Daily Mail she was the woman behind “Madeline” — the pseudonym Lily uses in her latest album, written after discovering her husband’s infidelity.
Lily asks ex David “who the f*** is Madeline” on the record West End Girl, after accusing him of cheating.
When approached by Daily Mail, Natalie said: “Of course I’ve heard the song.
“But I have a family and things to protect.
“I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on.
“It’s a little bit scary for me.”
The affair reportedly came to light when Lily found an incriminating text on David’s phone.
The discovery inspired several tracks on her new album, including Tennis and Madeline, which detail betrayal and heartbreak.
Natalie declined to discuss the lyrics further, saying: “Yeah… I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it at the moment.”
Lily and David announced their split in January after four years of marriage.
It is understood they separated in December, with Lily spending Christmas alone with her children in Kenya.
