Lily Allen is opening up about her sobriety and how it’s impacted her sex life.
The “Smile” singer confessed she’s never “had sex” with a partner “not drunk” until she married her current husband, “Stranger Things” star David Harbour.
“We don’t really talk about it,” Allen, 39, told The Times of London. “I don’t think I’d ever had sex with anybody not drunk before I got together with him. So that was different for sure.”

Allen’s comments come after she recently celebrated five years of sobriety. Harbour, 49, has also been sober for more than 20 years, respectfully.
“It’s a totally different thing. It’s unavoidable, conscious and real. He had a lot of experience with it, so it’s been helpful to do it with someone that’s long-in-the-tooth in that game,” she laughed.
The two tied the knot in a low-key ceremony officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator in 2020.
Allen continued to recall her earliest memories of being surrounded by drugs and alcohol. She confessed that she saw her father – actor and comedian Keith Allen – using cocaine.
“I think that addiction runs deep in my family, so self-medicating was going to be on the cards. For me, it didn’t really feel like an ‘if’, it was a ‘when,’” she explained.
Allen remembered hitting rock bottom when she turned up at her ex-husband’s house after he started a new relationship.
