shes no longer caught in a constant juggling act.
But she did shock her followers when she announced her engagement to W.K.
only a week after going Instagram official with him in May 2021.
Even so, Dennings is beaming about the magical update to her longtime crush on the musician.
Below, Dennings discussesDollfaceSeason 2,her relationship with Andrew W.K, and her favorite celebrity baby announcement.
Did that resonate with you, personally?
I had to talk myself into this thing, like, “You know what?
Who said you weren’t good enough?
And why do you think that?
And why not?”
I had to bite the bullet.
And it’s very vulnerable.
But I’m so glad I did, and now it’s a big new part of my life.
What was your 30th like?
I remember feeling like it should feel like a huge giant deal, and it just didn’t.
I don’t even think I did anything.
I felt that pressure, I guess, to have it “together.”
What does that even mean anymore?
Absolutely untrue and false.
On the show, Jules friend Izzy overthinks posting a photo of her new boyfriend on Instagram.
Did you and Andrew W.K.
have a conversation before going Instagram official and posting your engagement?
On one hand, you’re really excited and you want everyone to know certain things or whatever.
It was a wonderful, joyful thing.
Maybe take a moment and really think about it, and that’s just how I do it.
I love when people post, like, “Surprise, I’m married.”
I thought that was the coolest thing anyone has ever done.
I just admire that so much.
I wish her the best.
I always admired that when people kept things really private and then just surprised.
I don’t even remember doing that.
I’ve just always admired him.
And so it is a very strange and magical update to that story.
How would you describe your friendships now and your dynamic with Andrew W.K.?
I, as a person, get overwhelmed really easily.
Any time I have something big to focus on, I kind of just drop out.
It’s not something I intend to do.
I blink and it’s a month later.
That’s just my personality, unfortunately.
But I’ve actually been a lot better, I think.
Finding the right person, being really comfortable, and feeling at ease.
It’s a tall order, but it can be done.
