Lily Allen doesn’t want to date another famous person after her messy breakup with David Harbour.
The newly single “Smile” singer discussed the challenges of dating in a candid conversation with Interview Magazine published Tuesday.
When asked if using dating apps as someone in the public eye has its drawbacks, Allen replied, “It does, because I’m not really looking to go out with another famous person.”
The British singer, 40, explained that when she goes on “dates with other people, there’s a bit of a barrier.”
In fact, she noted that, “in England it’s a bit of a novelty to be on a date with” her.
Despite scoring a few dates on Raya, Allen pointed out that she has struggled with dating apps, calling them “awful.”
“Especially if you’re going through heartbreak,” she said, referring to her separation from the “Stranger Things” actor.
“There is nothing more depressing than hundreds of people that are nothing like the person that you’re missing,” she continued. “It’s just like, ‘No, that’s not him. That’s not him. That’s not him.’”
Allen also experienced a slight hiccup while exploring the virtual world of dating when she was blocked by Hinge.
“Did I tell you I got banned from Hinge for impersonating myself?” she said. “I’m like, ‘I can prove that I’m that person.’ They’re like, ‘You’ll need to send us your ID.’ And I’m like, ‘Actually, my name and the name on my ID aren’t the same.’”
Without revealing the name she uses on the apps, Allen confirmed that she is “not in a relationship” at the moment.
“But there are some people that I meet up with,” she divulged.
Allen and Harbour tied the knot in 2020 with a Las Vegas ceremony after dating for nearly a year. However, their relationship came to a screeching halt in February when news broke that they were separating.
The “F–k You” artist — who filed for divorce last month — checked into a treatment center for “emotional turmoil” while grappling with their breakup.
The pop star then hinted that Harbour, 50, had cheated on her in her new album, “West End Girl,” which debuted on Oct. 24.
In the tune “Dallas Major,” she sings about a relationship being “open” when her partner “went astray” and the unnamed person was living a “double life” in “P–sy Palace.”
This week, rumors swirled that Harbour had an affair with costume designer Natalie Tippett.
Harbour has yet to address the cheating speculation and awkwardly avoided questions about his estranged wife in April.
