The 28-year-old was interviewed by Howard Stern on SiriusXM on Thursday (2nd October) and he questioned Dunham about her relationship with Antonoff. Dunham admitted the two were very much together and described Antonoff - who is the lead guitarist of the band Fun - as her "life partner".

Stern then asked when she and Antonoff were going to tie the knot, as Perez Hilton reports. Dunham explained her reasons behind holding off on marriage as she wants gay couples to be able to marry on equal terms to straight couples. Her reason was also personal as her younger sister Grace is gay.

Dunham said "We're not against marriage, but I wanna wait until it's something. my sister's gay and it just doesn't feel good to me to do something she can't do. She can do it in some places but not all places."
