Lily Allen revealed in a hilarious podcast moment that she had to Google how long she had to wait to sleep with her now-husband actor David Harbour.
In her podcast on BBC Sounds, Miss Me? with Miquita Oliver, who she has been friends with for many years, Lily, 38, revealed that she had some burning sex questions when it came to dating her Stranger Things star husband.
The F*ck You singer explained that she really wasn’t much of a dater and her first date with David, 49, was in fact her first date ever.
The hitmaker who was married for seven years to builder, Sam Cooper, until their divorce in 2018, explained that she was clueless when it came to dating etiquette.
‘I remember Googling when I was with him – when I first started dating David -like, how many dates are you meant to go on before you sleep with someone.’
‘And there was a different answer depending on whether they’re English or American. I think English was five and American was seven.’ She then laughed and told her co-host, ‘That was the Google protocol that I read.’

The Smile singer has been sober since 2019 and explained that when she drank, dating looked very different and mostly consisted of meeting people on nights out.
The star explained: ‘My thing had always just been, like, when I drank, it was like you go to a pub – not even with the intention, sometimes you just go out with some friends!
‘You get really, really drunk, you meet someone, you’d end up sleeping with them, and then either they called you back or they didn’t. That was how my dating experience went.’

Lily has spoken several times about how she met her husband on the celebrity dating app, Raya. The couple first met in the spring of 2019 and the pair tied the knot in September 2020 in Las Vegas.
The couple now live in Brooklyn with Lily’s two children from her previous marriage, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 10.

The pair also discussed the difference between the way Americans look at dating versus the English approach, highlighting that in America is very common to date several people at once.
Miquita said: ‘In America, you date multiple people, and that is dating, and I think that’s still quite a new notion to us.’
Lily responded: ‘Yeah, and also, it’s acceptable to be dating several people at the same time as they’re dating you.
‘I think when I started dating David, he was doing that, And I remember saying to my therapist at the time: “I think he’s seeing other people.”’

Miquita asked: ‘But if you asked him, would he have said: “Yes, I’m currently dating”?’
Lily replied: ‘Yeah, but I wouldn’t want to ask the question. That was way too vulnerable for me.’
‘I sort of remember us talking about it on a date and being like: “Yeah, totally fine, yeah of course”.’
She then concluded the segment as she joked: ‘And I think he was attracted to me pretending to be fine with it – so the whole relationship is based on a lie!’
