Previously, David has remained tight-lipped on their split and the accusations of cheating but in a new interview, has given an insight into his new single life. The New York native revealed that recently, he had let himself go "physically and emotionally."

It comes just hours after he confirmed their split after ditching his wedding ring on the red carpet at the premiere for the Marvel movie, Thunderbolts on Tuesday night.

David said: "I can go to these dark places." He also found solace in Buddhist monks he first met when he went through a rough period in his thirties, and still goes to see them every couple of years. "You just talk about life," he said of his time at the monastery in Escondido, California.

However, he hasn't been to the monastery in the past few years as "things have been busy" for him. When prompted directly about his split from Lily, David gave a two-word response. "Oh boy," he commented. But he later opened up about his reasoning for remaining silent.

"I'm protective of the people and the reality of my life," he said. He added to that he didn't see the point in engaging with the interest surrounding the split as it had been based on "hysterical hyperbole."

David also admits he has a new appreciation for his body after social media users had branded him a "DILF". He said when he was in his "romance period" with social media, he thought it was "great, culturally" to see people celebrating "real bodies." He added: "It was like, Oh – the guy with love handles, who's a mess? That's the guy you love? OK! Good for you guys!"

Lily and David, who tied the knot in Las Vegas back in 2020 seemed to be the complete "it couple." But rather than meeting at a glitzy showbiz event, the pair met on an exclusive dating app the year prior. However, the Not Fair songstress admits that she didn't have high expectations of falling in love on it.

During an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, she explained: "It was the first time I'd been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David's profile and pressed accept. I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show because he was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things. I don't even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it's a bit of fun."
