Lena Dunham says her 27 years old boyfriend Jack Antonoff is ‘Someone Great.’ But she won’t marry him until gay marriage becomes legal in the US.
Lena who showed up to the Golden Globes ceremony wearing a ring on her wedding finger thanked her sweety pie after winning best actress in a TV comedy or musical.
She said:
Thank-you to my family, Laurie, Grace, Kipp and now Jack.
Nevertheless, she said backstage:
I am not engaged. I don’t want to get married until all gay people can get married.
When she interprets her role as Hannah Horvath on the 2 times winner series Girls, author and artist Lena Dunham frequently finds herself under pressure with relationships.
Thanks God the story is different in her real life, because she is totally in love with Fun guitarist Jack Antonoff.
Jack was by Lena’s side at the season 2 premiere of Girls in New York last week.
He declared then:
We work next to each other. It’s our version of relaxing.
When she won the awards she said:
This award is for every woman who felt like there wasn’t a space for her. This show has made a space for me.
She declared about her relationship:

You don’t have to post naked pictures of them on the internet or Tweet pictures of your Christmas celebration, but I feel like, in a way, he’s my best advertisement, so I’m like, ‘Why would I not tell people who ask?
I’ve started to get used to people feeling like they already know me when they meet me. I’ve obviously only experienced it within the past year of my life, but it’s really interesting to have so many people who you’re not familiar with act familiar with you.
Even though she comes from a family of artists, Carroll Dunham and Laurie Simmons, it was no bed of roses for her. She made her debut with 2010’s Tiny Furniture.
She adds:
I know that in my family – despite the massive amounts of acceptance – it was thought that in order to be a person who is really contributing something to the world, you had to be generating things creatively. So performing was only really interesting to my parents in the context of things that you create.
I think I’d aligned the idea of liking [acting] with having a horrible ego or something, and admitting that I liked it or that it was important to me – even to myself – just didn’t feel okay.
I always had these two things of feeling really respected and connected at home, and going to school and feeling like I just could not get it right. I didn’t feel like the other kids got me, but then I was also sort of bored and annoyed by them, so I knew that a large part of it was my problem. I actually had to switch schools because I didn’t have friends. I remember my parents saying, ‘She is so victimized at her school, so she has to switch.’ But I was like, ‘I’m switching schools because I’m an a–––.
