Singer Lily Allen has uncovered her husband David Harbour’s secret dating profile on the exclusive celebrity app Raya through an elaborate undercover investigation.
The 39-year-old pop star reportedly split from her Stranger Things actor husband, 49, late last year.
Sources say Allen was left “in agony” after discovering Harbour had maintained an active profile on the elite dating platform while they were together.
Raya is an ultra-exclusive dating app for celebs and other high profile people where only around eight per cent of applicants are granted a profile. It has a user base of over 10,000 but with a waiting list of 100,000.
Allen joined Raya herself, pretending to search for women, whilst conducting her investigation into her husband’s activities.
“Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to figure out who he was seeing. She was doing her Wagatha thing,” a source told the Daily Mail.

The reference draws parallels to Coleen Rooney’s famous social media investigation that earned her the “Wagatha Christie” nickname.
Allen and Harbour’s relationship began on Raya in 2019, with both initially deleting their profiles as their romance blossomed. The couple made their first public appearance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in January 2020.
They later surprised fans by marrying in Las Vegas on September 7, 2020, with an Elvis impersonator officiating the ceremony.
The pair subsequently settled in Brooklyn, New York, where Allen enrolled her children in local schools.

Reportedly, Harbour’s Raya profile describes himself as “visiting New York from Atlanta” and a “closet nerd that plays tough guys on your TV.”
It also features the Led Zeppelin song “Houses of the Holy” and lists his location as Atlanta, Georgia – 800 miles from the family home in Brooklyn.
Sources close to Allen speaking to the Mail believe Harbour has been “open to meeting new people for some time now,” and added: “Lily has never even looked at anyone else since meeting David. She is devastated.”
Before launching her sting operation, Allen herself had reopened her Raya profile after revealing she was “done with men” while speaking on her Miss Me? podcast.
The tongue-in-cheek bio said she was a “woman looking for women” and was in search for: “Someone to start couples therapy with”.
A friend at the time said that the 39-year-old singer was not actively searching for dates, partly because she hasn’t yet divorced and “takes marriage very seriously”.
