"No matter what the day, we go to sleep laughing, and we wake up laughing," the couple, who have been dating since 2009, told People. "We can't imagine a love any better than this."

Dunham also took Twitter to thank his followers:

Dunham has three daughters from a previous marriage.

He debuted a new Comedy Central special earlier this month and will kick off his "Disorderly Conduct" tour on Nov. 1.

They are 18 years apart...but love is love. Must be a slow news day seeing as this is at #5 on the most popular list...oh well, Dunham rocks.

I believe Walter said "When you get the call from the Governor, you don't jump back in the chair and strap in".

Seriously, we love your humor and wish you the best. You deserve it for the laughs you give millions.
