“Of course I’ve heard the song”, Tippett said, “but I have a family and things to protect. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on”.

Allen filed for divorce from Harbour in September, seven months after it was first reported the pair had separated.
The 50-year-old has avoided answering questions about his estranged wife since the split.
In April, he told GQ Magazine discussing his relationship with Allen would only cater to “a salacious s***-show of humiliation”.
“I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life”, he said, “there’s no use in that form of engaging [with tabloid news] because it’s all based on hysterical hyperbole”.
But Allen has been open about the end of their four-year marriage, admitting she had checked herself into a treatment facility for “emotional turmoil” in February, according to Page Six.
She told Vogue the 2025 album was not “all gospel”, but “inspired by what went on in the relationship”.
The pair were married by a Las Vegas Elvis impersonator in September 2020, sharing photos of the low-key ceremony on social media.
“In a wedding officiated by the king himself, the people’s princess wed her devoted, low born, but kind credit card holder in a beautiful ceremony lit by the ashen skies courtesy of a burning state miles away in the midst of a global pandemic”, Harbour wrote on Instagram.
