Fans of Stranger Things know only him. Since 2016 and the first season of the cult series on Netflix, David Harbour has been everywhere. The actor who plays the touching police chief Jim Hopper is now an iconic face on the small screen. But while the actor excels in front of the camera, his love life is more chaotic.
From his relationship with Alison Sudol to his divorce from Lily Allen and his affair with Natalie Tippett, his romances are quite eventful. Romances full of twists and turns that could have disrupted his career.
David Harbour: who is Alison Sudol, his partner for a year before Lily Allen?
In January 2018, Alison Sudol and David Harbour made their union official. In an Instagram post, the star of Fantastic Beasts wrote these tender words on February 15, 2019, according to our colleagues at Bluewin: “I am sitting here thinking about myself, wow, this human being I am on a crazy journey with. It’s truly amazing. What a generous, big-hearted, and wonderful person I am walking around with and doing things like eating and reading books out loud,” she confided before adding, “Love is a truly wonderful and rare thing, and it makes me think that celebrating it for a day might not be the worst thing after all. Thank you for making my life infinitely more beautiful.”
While the couple seemed to be deeply in love, they announced their separation a year later. Shortly after, the Stranger Things actor appeared with Lily Allen, whom he married in Las Vegas in 2020 and broke up with in February 2025. A divorce caused by David Harbour’s infidelity, as revealed by the singer.

On March 2nd, during a tour, Lily Allen surprised her Scottish fans with a striking dress. Indeed, for her first date, the performer of “Fuck You” wore an impressive dress decorated with gift receipts from her ex-husband David Harbour to his mistress at the time, Natalie Tippett, a costume designer he met on set.
A striking moment for the internet that did not hesitate to spread it across the globe. A revenge dress 2.0 that shows the actor’s infidelity during their years of marriage. According to the lyrics of her song, the British artist reportedly discovered their affair by going through her husband’s phone.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Natalie Tippett spoke out on the matter: “Of course, I 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 what’s going on. It’s a bit scary for me.” A terrible sense of déjà vu for Lily Allen, unfortunately accustomed to it when she wrote “Smile” in 2006, after being betrayed by her boyfriend at the time.
