Jack Antonoff took the rare move of responding to swirling rumors about his private life on Tuesday night (Jan. 16) when he tweeted to shoot down the whispers surrounding his dating status in the wake of his recent break-up with long-time love Girls creator Lena Dunham. “Normally I would never address rumors but i resent having the most important friendships and working relationships in my life reduced to dumb hetero normative gossip,” he wrote.
While Antonoff, 33, did not specify who the rumors surrounded, he made it clear that whoever people were talking about it was not cool with him. “Those relationships are deeply important and sacred. With that said, im not seeing anyone.”
