Lena Dunham has been fielding questions left and right about her supposed engagement to Fun frontman, Jack Antonoff.

The Girls creator first sparked speculation after she uploaded a picture of her newly adorned ring finger onto Instagram - but the actress insists it's merely a friendship ring.
"It's one of a stack of three that Jenni Konner [co-writer] and I have collected over the last four years," Dunham explained.
"Jack's friends were texting, 'Congratulations on the big news.' Finally I had to say something because soon people were going to start getting offended that they weren't invited to our non-existent wedding."
Dunham has good reason not to wed however - the 28 year-old's sister Grace is gay, leading Dunham to conclude that it isn't fair to beat her sister down the aisle just because same-sex marriage is still illegal in some areas of the United States.
"It's really important for us to wait, because we both have a lot of gay friends and the idea of skipping ahead of them doesn't feel good to us," Dunham explained to Grazia UK.
"I don't want to do something my gay sister, Grace, can't do in a number of states. There are lots of things I'm obsessed with, but marriage isn't my be-all and end-all."
