**Lily Allen Opens Up About Her Post-Divorce Breast Augmentation Surgery**

*Published: December 22, 2025, 6:45 p.m. ET*

British singer Lily Allen, 40, has candidly shared the reasons behind her recent breast augmentation surgery, revealing it was closely tied to her emotional journey following her divorce from Stranger Things star David Harbour.

The couple separated earlier this year, amid allegations of Harbour’s infidelity—a painful experience Allen explored in her comeback album, *West End Girl*. Within weeks of their breakup, Allen underwent surgery to enhance her cleavage, a decision she has now openly discussed for the first time.

### The Real Reason Behind the Surgery

Allen explained that the stress from her divorce caused her to lose a significant amount of weight, which made her figure appear unbalanced. “Because I’ve always been really small up top, I was worried about becoming really bottom-heavy,” she said. “So I felt like… This is how I talk to myself. I felt like if I got bigger breasts, it would make me feel better about gaining weight. So that was my reasoning.”

### Stress of the Split and Weight Loss

The singer described the divorce as “devastating” and “traumatic” in many ways. She shared how the weight loss was noticeable even to her two daughters, Ethel and Marnie, from a previous marriage to Sam Cooper. Allen recalled, “I’d sit down at the breakfast table and try to get the girls to have their breakfast before school. And they’d go, ‘Mummy, your arms look so thin.’”

Despite the marriage ending, Harbour maintains contact with Allen’s daughters. “They’ve both got phones,” she said. “They all text each other. I stay out of it.”

### Balancing Out Her Body and Moving Forward

Allen and Harbour first met through the celebrity dating app Raya in 2019 and married the following year in Las Vegas after a whirlwind romance. Earlier this year, Allen revealed she had experienced crippling panic attacks triggered by her heartbreak and was focused on healing her emotional pain.

Following her surgery, fans online dubbed her enhanced bust a “revenge boob job,” admiring how stunning she looked in figure-hugging dresses that accentuated her upgraded cleavage.

In a recent interview, Allen reflected on her past relationships, expressing a deeper understanding of the pain she may have caused during her first marriage. “Having done things that were not very nice in my first marriage, I have a better idea now of the pain I may have inflicted,” she said. “I’ve learned how horrible it is to be on the receiving end of that.”

### Views on Love and Marriage

When asked if she would consider marrying again, Allen offered a nuanced response. “I’d like to say I’d never do it again, but I do like it. Everything but the institution of it, you know?” she explained.

She continued, “I like being chosen. I like jewelry. I like getting dressed up. I like celebrating. I don’t like talking about money. I like my independence. But I don’t like divorce.”

Despite the ups and downs, Allen remains candid about her experiences and continues to embrace both her personal growth and evolving perspective on love and relationships.
