Quick Refresher on Lena Dunham’s Husband Luis Felber Amid the News That They’re Now Parents (!!)

Just days after the news broke that Lady Gaga is now a mother (and not just Mother Monster), Lena Dunham revealed in an essay for Vogue that she and her husband, Luis Felber, are now parents as well. After undergoing a hysterectomy in 2018 to combat her painful endometriosis, Lena spoke to The Times last summer about how she and Luis still had hopes of “expanding” their family. And now the two have welcomed a baby girl via surrogate.Wondering who exactly Lena’s husband is? While he didn’t play a big role in her viral memoir Famesick, Luis did help inspire her 2025 Netflix series Too Much. In case you missed it: Following her 2018 breakup with Jack, Lena moved to London in January 2021. A month later, she met Luis, and by September of that year, the two were married. Looove that for them.During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Lena confirmed that at least a “germ” of the series is based on her own real-life romance. “A girl moves to England. She meets a musician. They fall in love. That was the exoskeleton,” she said. Cute cute cute.For more on the talented musician (and his whirlwind relationship with Lena), keep on scrolling.Luis is a musician.Also known by his stage name, Attawalpa (which is his middle name), Luis toured with various bands before going solo in 2020. He’s since released two EPs and a full-length album as Attawalpa and—when asked by The New York Times to describe his sound—called his musical style “between Prince and Nirvana.”He also worked on the soundtracks for the films Sharp Stick and Catherine Called Birdy (both of which Lena wrote and directed), as well as her most recent series, Too Much.He’s British and Peruvian.Though born in England to a British father and Peruvian mother, per The New York Times, Luis spent part of his childhood living in Peru and Chile before moving back to England at age 7.In January 2024, Luis and Lena even visited Peru together on a trip.He and Lena met on a blind date.In February 2021, a month after Lena moved to England, she and Luis were set up on a date by a mutual friend. According to the musician, he and Lena “didn’t stop talking for, like, eight hours,” and apparently, things escalated quickly from there.Lena and Luis got engaged just four months later, and in an interview with Vogue, Lena explained how he proposed with an “Incan Peruvian ring from the early 1700s” that belonged to his grandmother.They got married in London.Lu and Lena tied the knot in September 2021 at a members-only space in London called Union Club, where only about 60 guests (including Taylor Swift, nbd) were present. And from the sound of it, the two made the day very much their own.“Our vows were a big part of our wedding day,” Luis told The Times. “I wrote that Lena and I are like two raccoons in the trashcan of life. We’ve always got our hands full and at the end of the day we nuzzle up to each other.”He went on to add, “Our first dance was to ‘This Will Be Our Year’ by the Zombies and it was easily the best day of my life.”He had never heard of Lena before they met.According to Luis, he’d never heard of Lena Dunham before their first date. “I had to Google her,” he confessed to The Times. “I was aware of her show Girls because my mother and sister were fans.”In Lena, however, he quickly recognized a “soulmate.” As he explained during his interview with The New York Times, “I think when you know, you know…and I think—I’m going to sound cheesy—but when you find your soulmate, you just know.”Love to see these two step into their parenthood era!!
