Rumours are swirling once again around David Harbour, with sources alleging that the Stranger Things star has been spotted alongside costume designer Natalie Tippett, the woman many believe inspired Lily Allen’s scathing track “Madeline.”
According to recent reports, Harbour was seen at the Thermea Spa Village in Winnipeg — the same destination where Tippett was reportedly photographed, raising eyebrows and fuelling speculation about a possible rekindling.
Tippett, 34, first came into the public eye in this saga when she was linked to Allen’s divorce via Allen’s much-talked-about album West End Girl. The singer’s lyrics in songs like “Madeline” and “Tennis” are widely interpreted to reference a secret relationship, and many fans connected the dots to Tippett, who worked with Harbour on the 2021 Netflix film We Have a Ghost, and came forward to acknowledge the affair.
In her first public comments about the matter, Tippett acknowledged hearing the song “Madeline” but struck a cautious tone. She told the Daily Mail, “Of course I’ve heard the song … But I have a family and things to protect. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter … It’s a little bit scary for me.”
She also addressed the speculation that her personal messages with Harbour made their way into Allen’s lyrics, saying, “Yeah. I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it at the moment.”
According to the Daily Mail and other outlets, fans saw Harbour at the spa multiple times while he was in Winnipeg filming Violent Night 2, but Tippett was not part of the film’s crew — adding weight to the idea that her presence might not have been purely professional.
An insider allegedly told Page Six: “We know that he and Natalie have been together recently.”
Harbour has not publicly confirmed any romance, and Tippett’s responses remain guarded. Still, the overlap in time and place, combined with Allen’s searing lyrics, has reignited intrigue around their connection.
In case you need a reminder, the lyrics to Allen’s ‘Madeline’ go as follows:
“Saw your text, that’s how I found out, tell me the truth and his motives
I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth
We had an arrangement
Be discreet and don’t be blatant
There had to be payment
It had to be with strangers
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline“
It’s unlikely fans will get any confirmation of a rekindled romance between Tippett and Harbour, but all eyes are on the actor now, regardless.
