AceShowbiz - Lena Dunham has addressed rumors that she and her boyfriend Jack Antonoff are engaged. The 28-year-old actress set the record straight when attending "Girls" season 4 premiere party in New York City on Monday night, January 5.
Lena's friend and co-executive producer of "Girls" Jenni Konner told reporters, according to PEOPLE, "[Lena and I] have friendship rings. They're a stack of three. We both wear them on that finger for some reason - that's the finger they fit on - and those are our friendship rings. When they announced that [Lena] was wearing an engagement ring, I was like, 'Yeah, to me!' " Lena then added, "Yeah, we're engaged to continue to work together for the rest of my life."
Lena was wondering why the ring captured people's attention. "It's funny, I have a ring that my boyfriend gave me that I wear on my right hand, and like, clearly nobody gives a s**t about - it's like a diamond!" she said, "And everybody was like, 'Let's ignore that diamond and focus on this stack of three rings.' I definitely had a feeling, like, 'Slow news day, dudes?' "
According to Lena, Jack's mother even questioned him about the rumors. "My boyfriend ... was like, 'My mom called asking if we're engaged?' She has a Google Alert on him," she shared, "I also just want to say, if we're going to get engaged, we would be more creative than to do it on New Year's Eve."
The "Tiny Furniture" actress first sparked engagement rumors after she shared a selfie which showed her wearing a suspicious gold band on her ring finger on December 29. She was later photographed sporting the same ring when going out on New Year's Eve.
