The couple is currently in the United States but will be moving to London shortly where Felber is originally from. Dunham previously disclosed that she underwent a hysterectomy due to endometriosis in 2017 when she was 31 and had her left ovary removed in 2018 because of medical complications related to fertility issues.

Story summary
Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber have welcomed their first child via a surrogate mother. The couple, who had previously discussed expanding their family, faced medical challenges due to Dunham's severe endometriosis. In 2017, at age 31, Dunham underwent a hysterectomy, and in 2018 she removed her left ovary, which was encased in scar tissue and fibrosis. Despite these health issues, the pair are currently in the United States but plan to move to London, where Felber is from, after welcoming their new addition. Dunham has been open about her reproductive struggles, describing them as a "grief" but also a "relief," emphasizing that they are now expanding their family through alternative methods safely.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
