Lily Allen’s two children were spotted out with her ex-husband David Harbour over the weekend at Universal Epic Universe after she released an album about their split, other theme park-goers have claimed.
The Stranger Things actor, 50, was said to have been seen with Lily’s daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 12, in a video believed to have been taken on Sunday.
It’s an astonishing turn of events considering the same weekend he’s looking after her children, Lily, 40, released her fifth studio album, West End Girl, which publicly humiliates David and brands him a cheating ‘sex addict’.
But this could mark the first public sign of easing tension between the former couple, as it appears David is still a part of her children’s lives despite their bitter break-up.
The singer, who claimed the album is a mix of both fact and fiction, was previously asked by Vogue if David was planning on continuing his stepfather role to her kids.
Lily replied ‘you’ll have to ask him’, but this latest outing suggests that David still has an active role in her daughter’s lives.
Looking every inch the doting stepdad, David was seen wearing a Super Mario t-shirt and a bucket hat, while walking at the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Fans will no doubt be confused by the move, after Lily, 40, released the no-holds-barred record about how David was unfaithful during their four-year marriage
The Daily Mail have contacted representatives for Lily and David for comment.
Lily has caused a huge stir with her no-holds-barred record West End Girl, which details the breakdown of her marriage to the Stranger Things star.
The fallout from their split is revealed in explicit and brutally honest lyrics, where Lily recalls discovering he had cheated on her by finding messages on his phone.
Lily references a mistress called Madeline, who is apparently a construct of several people and seemingly lies at the heart of the issue between her and David.
Commenting on reports of David being seen out with the children while Lily promotes her new music, some shared their confusion underneath the TikTok post.
One person wrote on: ‘So while she’s out there humiliating him, Harbour is on vacation with her kids? I can’t cope with this.’
Another said: ‘So he’s there with Lily’s children while she promotes an album.’
A third posted: ‘They are Lily’s children what the hell.’
Already at the top of the UK iTunes album charts, the songs have been streamed more than eight million times worldwide on Spotify, since it was released on Friday.

Their troubling relationship started off as a dream come true for the unlucky in love singer.
A year after they met, the pair wed in Las Vegas joined only by Ethel and Marnie and Lily shared pictures of her daughters celebrating by eating hamburgers outside the chapel with their new step-father.
But, as she alleges in the ‘tell-all’ album, her landing a role in 2:22 A Ghost Story on the West End in 2021 cemented the beginning of the end, as he was unsupportive and asked for an open marriage, but eventually ‘broke the rules’ and cheated on her.
Now public enemy number one, the internet is awash with calls for David’s whereabouts, imagining him hauled up in his Brooklyn apartment, ordering take-out to the Brooklyn townhouse they once shared [but are now selling] and cowering with shame.
David, who has no children of his own but grew close to Allen’s daughters over their four-year marriage, was reportedly not keeping a low profile and chatting to fans at the theme park as he accompanied the girls and a group of their friends.
Meanwhile, Lily has been celebrating the release of the album, recorded in Los Angeles, by giving various interviews across the Atlantic, discussing David and her daughters.
Lily and David are set to make a huge profit on their Brooklyn property, which they originally purchased for $3.3 million (£2.5m) in 2020.
David has amassed a $6 million fortune thanks to his role in the Netflix hit Stranger Things, while Lily is thought to be worth $4 million thanks to her music and podcast success and a series of stage and TV roles.

The couple have documented the vast renovations they made to their home, and even invited Architectural Digest for a tour of the property.
Lily has relocated back to London following her split from husband David, but in a new interview admitted she wants to return to New York in the future.
According to The US Sun, Lily and David’s property only hit the market on Sunday, two days after her bombshell album was released.
Documents obtained by the publication, show that Lily and David purchased the property under two separate trusts as co-owners, and have spent thousands on renovations to the home.
It’s listed as a ‘layered narrative of traditional English charm, modern Brooklyn sensibilities and rich Italian influence’.
Lily and David previously showed off their New York home after undergoing extensive renovations, including a tiger-print media room, their luxury kitchen inspired by The Godfather, their floral Parisian-inspired rooms and a walk-in wardrobe.
While the living room is filled with ‘detailed crown mouldings,’ it leads to a private garden that features a sauna and cold plunge at the owner’s disposal.
As well as two guest bedrooms on the third floor, the house also boasts a fully-furnished basement with a gym storage space and a laundry room.
A local admitted it’s been ‘quite some time’ since it seems anyone has lived in the property, telling the publication: ‘Every house on the street has Halloween decorations, but not Lily and David’s.’

Lily’s marriage broke down last December after she accused David of having multiple affairs including a three-year affair with a younger costume designer (pictured in 2023)
Lily relocated to London she and David split last year, having discovered he’d been having a three-year affair.
But the star has shared in a new interview she would like to return to New York in the future, telling The Sunday Times Culture Magazine: ‘My recovery is in New York and my health is a huge priority.’
The star added that she finds the support and therapy she gets to help with her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction are better in the US.
In P***y Palace, Lily sings how she arrives at an apartment in the West Village where her ex was living, but instead with greeted with ‘sex toys and lube’.
‘I found a shoebox full of handwritten letters,’ Allen sings in the second verse of the track: ‘From broken-hearted women wishing you could have been better. Sheets pulled off the bed, they’re strewn all on the floor. Long black hair, probably from the night before.’
Late last year, Lily was forced to sell her beloved home in The Cotswolds to pay a hefty tax bill, but has since bought a property in Notting Hill, where she grew up.
‘She’s a west London girl and is loving being back,’ a family friend told Daily Mail’s Richard Eden. ‘Her new place is just a ten-minute walk from her mum’s home and they are very close.’
Lily, who has two children with her ex-husband Sam Cooper, sold her 17th-century home in Cranham, Gloucestershire, for £4.2 million in 2016 after being sued by an ex-tour manager for more than £100,000.
‘I had my house of dreams.’ she later reminisced. ‘I did it up so nice, it was my life project, the place where I was going to raise my children.’
She added: ‘I’m a firm believer in paying tax. But I got sued. I had to pay him off, with the money I’d put aside for my tax.
‘I tried to work out a deal with HMRC to pay them back in instalments, but they said no. It was absolutely soul-destroying, and a real lesson in life.’
The record comes after a turbulent time in Lily’s life following the breakdown of her marriage last December after she accused David of having multiple affairs including his three-year affair with a younger costume designer.
The Mail on Sunday has exclusively revealed the identity of ‘Madeline’ and spoke to her from her home in the US.
Lily’s fans have said the song is a modern-day equivalent of Beyonce’s ‘Becky with the good hair,’ which featured on a song called Sorry, a cheating diss track from her 2016 album Lemonade.

The lyrics see Lily appearing to suggest the couple had an open arrangement in regards to sex, as long as it was discrete, with paid strangers and not based on emotional connection.
She sings: ‘How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?/ He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open.
The chorus reads: ‘We had an arrangement/ Be discrete and don’t be blatant. There had to be payment/ It had to be with strangers/ But you’re not a stranger, Madeline.’
Speaking to The Times, Lily seemingly confirmed that ‘agreed-upon boundaries were not adhered to’ in her relationship with David, while addressing how apps had made cheating easier.
She said: ‘There are usually agreed-upon boundaries in relationships. But whether those boundaries are adhered to or not is becoming a grey area all of a sudden.
‘Dating apps make people disposable and that leads to the idea that if you are not happy, there’s so much more to choose from — right in your pocket.
Lily famously uncovered David’s infidelity when she discovered his profile on celebrity dating app, Raya, and ‘joined the dots’.
The pop star joined the app herself, pretending to be ‘looking for women’ – and allegedly found that her now ex-husband had already set up a dating profile.
Speaking to the publication, she detailed how she believed dating apps were making people ‘disposable’ and changing conventional ideas about monogamy.
Her split from David led Lily to check into a £8,000-a-week trauma treatment centre to focus on her mental health.
And she admitted that she has used her music as a way to work through the dark feelings she was having and to ‘lay my truth on the table’.
