Lily Allen takes a break from her world tour to visit Niagara Falls and catch up with 13 Reasons Why actor Tommy Dorfman in Toronto ahead of her shows at Massey Hall.
A Day Off in Toronto
The 40-year-old singer shares photos capturing her admiration of Niagara Falls’ stunning views alongside a friend. She also posts images from a casual meal and a cozy cafe meetup with Dorfman. Allen sports a black turtleneck jumper, while Dorfman wears a brown jumper over a white T-shirt.
Her Instagram caption reads: ‘What to do with a day off in Toronto.’
The pair, longtime friends, previously attended events together, including the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in New York last June.

Allen arrives in Canada for performances at Massey Hall on April 7 and 8, followed by a stop in Boston on April 11. The tour supports her latest album, West End Girl.
Album Insights and Recent Nominations
The record serves as a tribute to her ex-husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, 50, reflecting their contentious split. Allen discovered Harbour on the celebrity dating app Raya, leading to the marriage’s end.
West End Girl earns three nominations at the 2026 BRIT Awards, though she secures no victories.
Navigating Personal Challenges
Following the breakup, Allen enters a U.S.-based trauma center for intensive group counseling and one-on-one therapy at a cost of £8,000 per week. She previously reports nearing a nervous breakdown.
Allen shares daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, with ex-husband Sam Cooper. She defends leaving her daughters briefly for treatment, stating it became ‘getting harder to be there’ for them.
In her first podcast episode post-treatment, she explains: ‘People think I hate my children. I really don’t. I absolutely adore my children and I’m in a situation now where I really have to be my strongest self for them.’
She adds: ‘I felt like it was getting harder and harder for me to be able to show up for them in the way that they need me to. It was a big decision to have to leave them for a few weeks to go and focus on myself but ultimately it was for them so that I can get us through this bit. I needed some help to be able to do that.’
Allen continues: ‘I don’t want them to ever feel like they have to prop me up. None of this is their fault and it’s my job to support them and make them feel safe and secure, and I just don’t think I was able to do that because of the emotional turmoil that I was in at the time. But I do feel like I am now. I’m not saying that I’m 100% there or getting it 100% right or that I ever will but I’m definitely in a stronger place.’
Later, she pauses her podcast to prioritize recovery upon returning to the U.S.
