Several famous friends shared birthday wishes for Allen in the comments section of her post, including “Unwritten” singer Natasha Bedingfield, who wrote, “40 is the best.”
On her actual birthday on May 2, Allen shared a carousel of sultry snaps on her Instagram feed with the caption, “Happy Birthday to me.” The photo set began with a photo of the “Smile” singer looking at the camera while leaning against a wood-paneled wall as she sat on a sofa.
The English pop star wore a sheer baby blue spaghetti top accessorized with two statement necklaces. She rocked a burnt orange bob with bangs and accessorized with a pair of oversized sunglasses.

Later that month, Allen confirmed that she had a recent stay at a treatment center, but said she was in a “stronger place” following a time of “emotional turmoil.”
Sources told PEOPLE that Allen was “devastated and not in a good place” following the breakup with Harbour, 50. The insider added that the split has also been “very hard” on her daughters, Ethel Mary, 13, and Marnie Rose, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper.
Allen and Harbour were first linked in January 2019. They tied the knot with a Las Vegas wedding in September 2020.
