Debbie Harry, 79, says she’ll join Lily Allen on Raya – so, which other famous couples met on the celeb dating app?
The exclusive, membership-based app 'has a 100,000-person waitlist'
The list of famous faces looking for love on celebrity dating app Raya may have grown again – after 70s pop icon Debbie Harry admitted she’s tempted.
The Blondie singer, 79, told The Sunday Times this weekend that, as she approaches her 80th birthday as a single woman, she’s considering joining the exclusive, membership-based platform.
Harry, who’s the face of Gucciβs Cruise 2025 collection and was once in a long-term relationship with band member Chris Stein, told said she was prepared to give Raya a go as she enters her ninth decade, after a friend met a ‘terrific guy online’.
The Call Me and Hanging on the Telephone singer told journalist Julia Llewellyn Smith ‘OK, OK, Iβll do it! And Iβm going to get back in touch and let you know how it went.’
Raya was launched in 2015 as a dating app for people from creative industries but has since turned into what one New York Times journalist described as ‘Illuminati Tinder’.
The app’s been back in the headlines this week after The Mail On Sunday revealed that Lily Allen played detective by pretending to be ‘looking for women’ β and found her husband David Harbour, 49, had already set up a dating profile.
The couple, who also met on the app and married in September 2020, are set to divorce after announcing their split late last year.
Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around 8 per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list. Once users find a new partner, they usually disable their profile.
