‘Feliz Cumpleanos Luis. When I was 3 weeks old in downtown Manhattan, I had no idea a baby was being born in England (Winchester, no less!) who would rocket into my life — wearing a lime green polar fleece snood — and challenge so many of my beliefs about myself and the world with magical abandon,’ she began.
‘Everyone who comes into contact with you — creatively, emotionally, accidentally — is lucky,’ she added.
‘But I am the luckiest, because that snood is now in our shared chest of drawers,’ she continued.
She ended her birthday tribute with lyrics to This Will Be Our Year by The Zombies, stating, ”The warmth of your love is like the warmth of the sun and this will be our year, took a long time to come.’ Happy Birthday, Lulu.’

Lena had been promoting Luis’ work on her Instagram account and when promoting one of his songs on her socials, Lena referred to him as the ‘king of my heart’.
Additionally, the Tiny Furniture star recently revealed how she had nearly given up on men several months earlier – until her boyfriend came into her life.
‘When I feel sick, my boyfriend makes delicious pasta & rewatches as much BoJack as I want, walks the dog & makes up songs about her face,’ Lena tweeted.
‘In January, all I Tweeted about was how men are basically refried beans in human form. What I’m saying is, don’t quit before the miracle, kids.’

Lena and Luis made their red carpet debut together in August when they attended the premiere of Zola at the Sundance Film Festival.
Speaking to Yuck magazine about his career back in July 2021, Luis said: ‘I’ve been signed to labels before, and had a bunch of money.
‘They’ll say “make something with this” and that’s really cool, and I did, but then they’re allowed to dabble in it and I really like the sort of DIY, out on the street, aspect of making things.
‘Especially with videos, I get to collaborate and evolve with really cool directors and people I’ve been wanting to work with for ages.’
The couple don’t have any children together but they do share a pet dog.
Lena had previously dated musician Jack Antonoff from the bands fun and Bleachers.
They had dated for five years from 2012 to 2017 before their split, which was described as ‘amicable.’
Lena had spoken about her heartbreak in an essay for Vogue in May 2018. ‘We sat in our shared kitchen of nearly four years and quietly faced each other, acknowledging what nobody wanted to say,’ she began.
‘That obsessive connection had turned to blind devotion, and the blinders were coming off to reveal that we had evolved separately (the least shocking reason of all and perhaps the most common),’ a second excerpt read.
Rumors had swirled that he was romantically involved with his frequent co-collaborator Lorde at some point during their relationship, before he shut the situation down publicly in a now-deleted tweet.
‘Normally I would never address rumors. But I resent having the most important friendships and working relationships in my life reduced to dumb heteronormative gossip. Those relationships are deeply important and sacred. With that said, I’m not seeing anyone. lol.’
Following her split from boyfriend Jack, Lena revealed she was briefly engaged to an unnamed man, after he ‘proposed with the lace of a Timbaland boot while they were snowed in at her parents’ apartment.’

Writing for Cosmopolitan she said: ”I’d just had a hysterectomy, I’d broken up with my boyfriend, I was in the process of breaking up with my business partner – I had no business buying a pair of shoes, [let alone] getting engaged.
‘Then I just went, ”You know what? I’ve been dating since I was 15 years old. I’m allowed to take a break”.
‘Sobriety for me means so much more than just not doing drugs, it also means that I abstain from negative relationships. It means I’ve taken a hiatus from dating, which has been amazing for me.’
