Personal life
Harbour had relationships with Alison Sudol and Julia Stiles.[19][20] Since 2019, he has been in a relationship with singer Lily Allen. They made their red carpet debut during the 26th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. They married on September 7, 2020, in Las Vegas in a wedding officiated by an Elvis impersonator.[21] The couple share a Brownstone in Brooklyn[22] and worked with the architect Ben Bischoff.
Harbour previously followed several religions, including
In an interview with The Guardian on his role in Black Widow in July 2021, Harbour said he was a socialist: "I don't know that there's anyone who could disagree with socialist ideology"; and later, "The idea of a kindergarten-type society where we share things is my ideal society—as opposed to this world where we're hunting and killing and destroying for our own personal hoarding, our own personal greed."[25]
Harbour struggled with alcoholism in his past[26] and has been sober since he was 24, after hitting "rock bottom" as he faced homelessness, loneliness and thoughts of suicide.[27] He began drinking as a teenager and the habit worsened during college. He decided to stop drinking after feeling "very lonely and needing a different direction in my life", and has said, "I enjoy consciousness too much now" to drink again.[8]
At age 26, Harbour was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[28][26][29][30]
