The pair have spent much of their relationship on different continents, dividing their time between the UK and David's New York City apartment.
During the coronavirus pandemic, David moved into Lily's London home with her children Ethel, eight, and Marnie, seven, who she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper. David had been in Atlanta filming Stranger Things, but managed to fly out to the UK to see Lily just before travel restrictions kicked in, admitting it would have been a "really bad situation" for his mental health "to be quarantined alone".
In 2023, David Harbour gave an updated tour of his home for Architectural Digest, featuring Lily as it turned out the couple had moved into a stunning Brooklyn townhouse.
David described his wife as "someone who lives with color in a deeper way than most. Her taste is bold, silly, fun, eccentric—it’s exciting."
Lily told Grazia that she loves the anonymity she experiences when she's in Brooklyn, explaining: "No one knows who I am. Growing up with the attention I had in my twenties can lead to, sort of, narcissistic feelings. It’s nice to be in a relationship where somebody else gets all of that attention. It’s good for my ego."
When did the singer start wearing an engagement ring?

Her fans have also quizzed her about it on Instagram, but the British singer has always refused to comment.
Responding to a direct fan question, she joked: 'First rule of engagement club........,' referencing Brad Pitt's famous line from Fight Club ("you do not talk about Fight Club").

You might recognise some of David's famous exes! The star was previously in a relationship with Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them actress Alison Sudol.
David and Alison, who also performs under the name A Fine Frenzy, called it quits a few months before he was linked to Lily.
The actor was previously rumoured to be engaged to Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Maria Thayer. However, the pair quietly ended things in 2011 before they were allegedly set to walk down the aisle.
In other surprising news, he also dated Julia Stiles for four years between 2011 and 2015 – and they even lived together in New York! Who knew!
When did they marry?
Lily and David exchanged vows at the Graceland Wedding Chapel, with the ceremony carried out by Brendan Paul, an Elvis impersonator who owns the chapel.
The couple are in good company, as Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea held their wedding there, while Billy Ray Cyrus and actress Andie McDowell are among those who have renewed their vows at the chapel.
What has David said about their marriage?
During the SAG/AFTRA strike, David struggled to keep busy - and he got frank about the impact it had on his relationship.
"Ultimately, it's very good because you get to know someone", he told PEOPLE about their marriage. "But, let me tell you, my wife likes when I go to work because it's nice for her to have her life and me to have my life and for us not to just annoy each other by being around all the time."
Despite this, the couple seem to only get stronger. "We have these two kids, and it's so great,” David said, referring to his stepchildren, Ethel, 11 and Marnie, 10. “We get to raise them and stuff, and as our marriage continues, we grow closer and closer.”
