Actress and writer, Lena Dunham is off the market as she said "I do" to her musician boyfriend, Luis Felber.
The 35-year-old married her English-Peruvian fiance over the weekend, according to PEOPLE. Early on Sunday morning, the music personality appeared to have hinted at his day of joy.
He posted "This Will Be Our Year," a song by "The Zombies" on his Instagram story captioned with heart and alien emojis.
Life Before Marriage
During a candid interview with The New York Times published in April, the "This is 40" actress confirmed her relationship with Felber— professionally referred to as Attawalpa.
Dunham explained their relationship was a few months old at the time, and she felt fortunate. She referred to her partner as "the greatest person" she had ever met.
On June 9, the filmmaker updated her Instagram page with a series of photos featuring her and her partner to celebrate his birthday.

She spoke about how, when she was "3 weeks old", she had no idea a baby "Feliz Cumpleanos Luis" was being born in Winchester.
Dunham said the musician challenged her beliefs about herself and the world with "magical abandon."
She continued that everyone who came in contact with Felber "creatively, emotionally, accidentally— is lucky," but she was the luckiest of all.
The HBO star rounded up her tribute with "Happy birthday Lulu" in front of lyrics from "This Will Be Our Year" by The Zombies,
"The warmth of your love is like the warmth of the sun, and this will be our year, [It] took a long time to come."
In August, the newlyweds made their red carpet debut as each other dates to a screening of "Zola" at London's Sundance Film Festival in London.
Kissing A Famous A-Lister!
On July 31, 2019, The Blast reported that Dunham attempted to lock lips with her "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" co-star Brad Pitt.
The bold New Yorker executed her lip-locking strategy at the movie premiere that Tuesday night.
A motivated Dunham headed towards Pitt, who was conversing with Tarantino, Leo DiCaprio, and Margot Robbie.
Placing her arm around the A-lister as if going for a hug, Dunham managed to get a half mouth contact before Pitt turned his cheek.
The 35-year-old had previously told fans on Instagram that her time on set with the Oscar winner was a career highlight.
Dunham's Apology
In November 2017, The Blast shared that the "Not That Kind Of Girl" star apologized after receiving backlash for defending a "Girls" writer accused of sexual assault.
Dunham, who had previously excused the writer Murray Miller's charges as "one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year", took to Twitter with regrets.
She said she never thought she would "publically support someone accused of sexual assault" but "naively" believed it was important to share her perspective on the situation. She continued,
“I now understand that it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement and I am so sorry … Every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard, fully and completely".
