“The year: 2009,” she detailed in her 2024 post of crossing paths with a group of “rowdy and loose” British boys while preparing to debut her first film, comedy-drama Tiny Furniture, at South by Southwest.
She found herself making note of one in particular, “wearing a French military coat,” the same epaulet- and brass button-covered jacket Felber would pull out of his closet as they were preparing to move in together.
“It was him. The beautiful boy,” reflected The C-Word podcaster. “My infinite, swirling companion animal. So nice I married him twice.”
Because sometimes you really just know.
“A mutual friend of ours basically set us up,” Felber—raised in his mother’s native Peru before returning to his father’s home country of Britain—told The New York Times in 2021 of their first blind date. “We didn’t stop talking for, like, eight hours.”
In the past, he acknowledged, he’d found himself holding back with someone new.
But, “I was just a bit fed up with that, so I just walked into the situation very myself, shall I say,” he continued. “And Lena liked that. And she’s the same.”
