Inside Lena Dunham’s quiet life in London after fleeing Hollywood

Inside Lena Dunham’s quiet life in London after fleeing Hollywood

Lena Dunham is living a quiet life, going back and forth between London and Connecticut with her husband, Luis Felber, and their four pet pigs.

“I really love London deeply,” she exclusively told The Post, “although I will say that there are times when the lack of exceptional tacos really gets to me.”

The “Girls” alum moved to London in January 2021 and soon met Peruvian-British musician Felber on a blind date organized by a mutual friend. The couple married soon after, in September 2021, in a small ceremony that saw Taylor Swift serve as a bridesmaid.

Dunham still sounds a little shocked by the speed at which she got hitched after enduring a painful breakup with Jack Antonoff in 2017.

“I had decided that perhaps [marriage] was not going to be my particular story and really got to be OK with that idea, and then a person came along, and it was very quick and surprising, and now we’ve been married for almost five years, and it’s really lovely,” she shared.

Luckily for Dunham, 39, she can sate her taco cravings because she also spends a good chunk of time living on a farm near her parents, artists Carroll Dunham and Laurie Simmons, in Connecticut.

It’s also where her four pet pigs reside.

“Two live inside and two in the barn,” she explained, adding that she’s “obsessed with them all.”

The “Two Much” co-creator waxes lyrically about her porcine loves.

“They’re very chatty,” she divulged. “They’re very emotional, they’re sort of moody. My husband says it’s like living with a terrible two-toodler who can only oink. They’re very vocal, they’re very insistent on having their way.”

Dunham stressed that it’s a huge “misconception” that pigs are dirty and insists that they’re actually “very tidy” and “will let you know when something needs to be cleaned.”

“I feel like they’re the animal equivalent of me,” she continued. “Like when I met pigs, I was like, ‘Oh, I get it, you’re chatty, scared, and not that steady on your feet, I completely get you.’”

The “Tiny Furniture” star is currently promoting her memoir, “Famesick,” which looks at the corrosive effects of fame and her chronic illnesses.

Dunham also writes about her time in rehab, her work on “Girls,” and her relationship with Antonoff.
