David Harbor wins stepfather of the year. In May, he got his stepdaughters the hottest ticket in town for the premiere of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” in New York City.

The 48-year-old ‘Stranger Things’ star, married singer turned actor Lily Allen in 2020 and is now stepfather to her two children with ex-husband Sam Cooper, Ethel, 11, and Marnie Cooper, 10.

The sister’s relationship with Harbor is so sweet. In a June 2021 interview on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live! “We drove around the beginning of [the] pandemic . . . trying to figure out what we were going to do for the next year or however long it would take,” he shared. “And the little one rode along and she said, ‘David, daddy, David, daddy.’ . . And the eldest got very angry about that.”

He continued: “She was like, ‘He’s not our father! He’s not our father!’ And then the younger said, “Well, what is he?” He’s a bit like our father.’ [Ethel’s] like, “No, he’s not, he’s our stepfather.” And [Marnie] goes, ‘What is he?’ And she says, ‘He’s just a man in our lives!'” It was then that Harbor realized he wanted to be in Allen, Ethel, and Marnie’s lives forever — joking that it was in part to avoid emotional repercussions.

Three years later, their blended family lives together in a Brooklyn mansion (which means easy treks to New York movie premieres). “We wanted somewhere to feel like we’re the central engine of the house. When you come in, there’s a big table to dump the groceries on, the kids do the homework there, I cook,” Allen told in February 2023 Architectural Digest about their daily routines in their kitchen, joking, “Everyone is letting me down…”
