62. When Jack Antonoff Met Lena Dunham

It was 2012: the word “hipster” was everywhere, Fun was on the radio, and Girls was playing on HBO. And one controversial writer/director/actor, Lena Dunham, started dating the bespectacled musician/producer, Jack Antonoff.  Based on Lena’s personal essays and Jack’s song lyrics, the couple appeared very in love. Both Jack and Lena talked about marrying someday, but refused to exchange rings until marriage became legal for all in the U.S. So on June 25th, 2015, when same-sex marriage became legalized in all 50 states, why didn’t Jack and Lena head down the aisle?  Join us as we revisit Jack and Lena’s story, featuring the mystery of their dog Lamby, a questionable friendship with singer Lorde, and a series of unfortunate tweets.  *****  Want more couples?
