Story summary

Lena Dunham, 40, welcomed her first child via a surrogate in July 2025, becoming a mother after undergoing a hysterectomy at age 31 due to severe endometriosis. In an op-ed for Vogue, she described the emotional journey leading up to the birth, expressing both grief and relief about her medical history. Dunham had previously shared details of her fertility struggles in essays and interviews, noting that her left ovary was removed because it was "encased in scar tissue and fibrosis." She expressed joy at finally meeting her daughter after waiting for 13 days beyond the expected due date. The couple plans to move from the States to London, where Felber is from.
