Lena Dunham took to Instagram on Tuesday to address her split with longtime boyfriend Jack Antonoff.
Dunham, who dated Antonoff for five and a half years, thanked fans in a four-minute Instagram Live video Tuesday evening. The 31-year-old actress said she will always wear the ring he gave her.
"I'm wearing this ring that Jack gave me and I'll always wear it, because love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing and it doesn't have to be defined the way we in Western culture define it as beginnings and ends," Dunham said.
"Things can be 'you're a drop of water and you re-enter the ocean,'" she added. "Anyway, I really love you all and I'm really thankful for the support, really thankful for the love."
E! News announced on Tuesday Dunham and the Bleachers’ singer Antonoff broke up before the New Year because they were growing apart. A source told the entertainment outlet that the duo are still on good terms.
