In a joint statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Dunham and Konner stated on Tuesday that,
"We have had one of the most significant relationships together in our adult lives and we respect each other’s choices."
The duo reasoned the difference in their interests as their main reason for the current split stating,
"While our interests are pulling us in different directions right now, we are excited about our current work and are firmly committed to the projects we have together. HBO has been our home for quite some time and we look forward to continuing there as we both move forward."
Both Konner and Dunham have walked a long way of friendship since their first collaboration, Girls. Dunham once explained their working dynamics as “symbiotic.” Talking to NPR, she said,
"It’s very hard to know where one of us stops and one of us ends at this point. I’m always at her house. I mean, she’s my family.”
Konner, in turn, called Dunham “the bravest person I’ve ever met,” as well as “a lovely friend” and “my valentine.” As for their working relationship on Girls?
“I was definitely hired to be the grown-up on set. The hardest part was trying to get them [to] not get tattoos and haircuts during the off season.”

The duo, Dunham and Konner are scheduled to poise before reporters at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour to promote the upcoming series premiere of “Camping.”
