According to E!, the actress and singer broke up in December 2017, but this wasn't revealed until early January. Their breakup was reportedly "amicable." In an Instagram live video, Dunham explained why she's still wearing a ring from the Bleachers musician.
"I'm wearing this ring that Jack gave me and I'll always wear it, because love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing and it doesn't have to be defined the way we in Western culture define it as beginnings and ends," Dunham said.
