Lena Dunham has revealed that she had a traumatic experience with Bruce Springsteen in her new memoir, Famesick. She initially met with Springsteen while she was dating Jack Antonoff, but was later informed of their breakup after she and Antonoff split. Dunham expressed her love for Springsteen and expressed her dissatisfaction with Antonoff's relationship with an ex-boyfriend and was suspicious of his apparent closeness with an unnamed "teen pop star." Springsteen responded by offering creative advice and expressing his own hurt through art. The couple are set to marry in 2023.
