Girls star Lena Dunham reveals she was secretly engaged following Jack Antonoff split
LENA Dunham has revealed she secretly got engaged to a mystery man following her five-year romance with Jack Antonoff.
The Girls actress, 33, was proposed to with a "lace of a Timberland boot" while the pair were snowed in at her parent's apartment in 2018.
Lena moved on with the mystery man shortly after calling it quits with Bleachers singer Jack in December 2017.
She told Cosmopolitan UK: "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 [Jenni Konner] – I had no business buying a pair of shoes, [let alone] getting engaged."
The Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood star is now on a "hiatus from dating".
She added: "Then I just went, 'You know what? I've been dating since I was 15 years old. I'm allowed to take a break.' Sobriety for me means so much more than just not doing drugs, it also means that I abstain from negative relationships.
"It means I've taken a hiatus from dating, which has been amazing for me. I think it's been 14 months now that I've just been totally single."
Lena was spotted canoodling with a mystery man in New York in August 2018.
The star previously revealed she underwent a full hysterectomy after battling endometriosis for years.
She opened up about her decision to undergo the procedure – which involves the surgical removal of the cervix and uterus – in an essay for Vogue.

“Adoption is a thrilling truth I'll pursue with all my might."
