Lena Dunham, the creator of Girls, has revealed intimate details about one last emotional entanglement that left her reeling just before tying the knot.

In a new essay for British Vogue, the 39-year-old American writer and director has shared honest details about her last “affair” before getting married and her final dating experience before marrying her husband, Luis Felber, in 2021.

Just before the release of her new Netflix series, Too Much, Dunham wrote, "You really never know when you’re having your last affair.”

“Some of us hope that every frog we kiss is our happy ending, while others stand hand in hand with their soulmate, still terrified of the vista narrowing, the buffet running out, closing time,” she added.

Dunham, who made and starred in the HBO show Girls, went on to talk about her mystery man, “I met Craig in a backyard in LA, in the halcyon days of the pandemic. He was sitting in a folding chair with his mask on, ankles crossed in perfectly worn Vans.”

"But when he lowered his mask – Covid restrictions were only just lifting – to take a sip of water, I felt my stomach flip-flop. It was something about the golden symmetry of his face, the position of his pillowy mouth in relation to his strong yet cherubic nose, like they were selected right from a 'Brad Pitt facial features' catalogue."

However, Craig said to her, “You make me nervous," to which The Treasure star scribbled, “I wondered if beautiful men are like spiders – they’re just as scared of you as you are of them.”

It is pertinent to mention that Dunham, who has been open about her love life, was in a relationship with Jack Antonoff from 2012 to 2018.
