Published 01/29/2026, 11:27 AM PST

Breakups are terrible. But imagine your breakup being so devastating that you metaphorically end up with Sigmund Freud. Not with him, obviously, but close enough to make the universe smirk. After a very public split from Stranger Things star David Harbour, Lily Allen did what she has always done best: turned chaos into candor. There were songs. There were fashion shows. And now, judging by her latest appearance, there is also joy, worn on her sleeve and quite literally on her arm.

Because when Lily Allen stepped out recently, she did it arm-in-arm with a new man, smiling like someone who has processed the pain. So naturally, the question followed: who is he?

So, who is Lily Allen dating now?

It appears the English singer-songwriter has a new leading man in her life - Jonah Freud. A writer and artist, Freud comes from one of Britain’s most culturally entangled families, where art, media, politics, and psychology all sit at the same dinner table.

Allen and Freud made their first notable public appearance together in Paris on Wednesday, January 28th. Together, they stepped out in coordinated green outfits while attending Valentino’s Paris Fashion Week afterparty. The sighting, first reported by Page Six, marked a clear ‘hard launch’ moment.

As for Freud himself, his résumé reads like a footnote to British cultural history. His father is Matthew Freud, founder of the international PR powerhouse Freud Communications. His mother, Caroline Hutton, is an aristocrat and the former wife of Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother. And looming largest of all: his great-great-grandfather, is Sigmund Freud.
