Lena Dunham’s boyfriend revealed as musician Luis Felber as she tells fans ‘don’t give up on the miracle’
Lena Dunham’s boyfriend has been revealed as English Peruvian singer Luis Felber.
The Girls star is currently living in the United Kingdom, where she has been filming the medieval comedy Catherine, Called Birdy alongside Billie Piper and Andrew Scott, and a secretive project called Sharp Stick.
While in London, she met Luis, 32, and in an interview with the New York Times in April, Lena called the musician ‘the greatest person I’ve ever met’, although did not name him.
However, the 35-year-old actress has been supporting his work on social media, having retweeted posts about his concerts and interviews.
Lena shared an article about Luis’s new single Yellow Fingers under his professional name Attawalpa – named as as such after the Incan King Atahualpa – and wrote: ‘Certainly my favorite London-based Peruvian like this write up a lot, love this song and video the most @attawalpasongs.’
And this week, she heaped praise on Luis, tweeting about the ‘miracle’ of finding a good boyfriend.
She wrote: ‘When I feel sick, my boyfriend makes delicious pasta & rewatches as much BoJack as I want, walks the dog & makes up songs about her face. In January, all I Tweeted about was how men are basically refried beans in human form.
‘What I’m saying is, don’t quit before the miracle, kids.’
Sound advice.
Lena was previously in a near six year relationship with musician Jack Antonoff before their split in 2018.
The pair had previously planned starting a family together but have remained friends after their ‘mutual’ decision to break up.
In the months after the break-up, Lena briefly became engaged to an unnamed man who ‘proposed with the lace of a Timberland boot while they were snowed in at her parents’ apartment’
She wrote for Cosmopolitan: ‘I’d just had a hysterectomy, I’d broken up with my boyfriend, I was in the process of breaking up with my business partner – I had no business buying a pair of shoes, [let alone] getting engaged.
‘Then I just went, “You know what? I’ve been dating since I was 15 years old. I’m allowed to take a break”.’
Lena began dating again when she moved to the UK, but admitted that sober dating in Wales was a ‘roughie’.
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actress has been sober for three years.
