Lena Dunham Welcomes First Baby with Husband Luis Felber
Actress Lena Dunham announced on September 16 that she and husband Luis Felber welcomed a baby girl via surrogate, detailing the experience in a Vogue op-ed.
After undergoing a hysterectomy for severe endometriosis in 2017, the 40-year-old actress faced unsuccessful IVF attempts before pursuing 'new ways' to expand her family, she told The Times.
Dunham described the birth as '13 days late, in the face of a solar eclipse and a meteor shower,' marking a joyous milestone in her long journey toward motherhood.
The Girls alum previously noted the 'grief' of not carrying children but shared she has 'come to a place where I feel really excited' about building her family.
In her memoir Famesick, Dunham discussed her long-held desire for motherhood, having previously explained she wanted to 'safely meet our children' before sharing the experience publicly.
