Indie Singer Jenny Lewis Celebrates 50th Birthday with Unconventional Union to Beloved Cockapoo.
In a whimsical twist on traditional milestone celebrations, singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis marked her 50th birthday by exchanging vows with her loyal canine companion, Bobby Rhubarb. The unique ceremony was attended by close friends and family members, including Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald, Morgan Nagler, and Postal Service bandmate Ben Gibbard.
The joyous occasion took place at a party/wedding reception last week, where Lewis was joined by her loved ones in singing a performance of "Such Great Heights" with the Postal Service. The emotional ballad holds special meaning for Lewis, as it was inspired by Bobby Rhubarb's presence in her life during a challenging period.
In 2021, Lewis released a song titled "Puppy and a Truck," which captured her feelings about adopting Bobby Rhubrad at a time when she was struggling with isolation. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2023, Lewis revealed that the cockapoo had brought her much-needed companionship and purpose during her forties.
As she now embarks on this new chapter of life as a married woman, Lewis has expressed gratitude for Bobby Rhubarb's unconditional love and support. "I don’t have any kids, but this dog opened me up in so many ways — being responsible for a soul and caring for something outside of yourself," she said.
With her 50th birthday celebration now behind her, Lewis is gearing up to rejoin Rilo Kiley for a series of reunion shows across the U.S. and Europe later this year. As she looks forward to her next adventure with Bobby Rhubarb by her side, fans can't help but be charmed by this heartwarming union.

! It's like, who needs a fancy wedding when you've got a fur baby to love? 
I mean, Bobby Rhubarb is more than just a pet, he's her soulmate 
. Their special ceremony was totally low-key and adorable, and I'm sure it was the purr-fect way for Lewis to celebrate this milestone birthday.
. And can we talk about how cute her outfit was at the party? 
Anyway, now that she's married (in spirit, at least 
), I'm super excited to see what she does next. Maybe a Bobby-themed tour? 
. Getting married to your furry bestie at 50 is a whole new level of age goals 
. I mean, Bobby Rhubarb has been more than just a pet, he's like a soulmate for Jenny 
. Can't wait to see Rilo Kiley back on stage with Jenny leading the charge! 
I'm beyond thrilled for her and that adorable cockapoo Bobby Rhubarb. Their bond is so strong, it's like they're meant to be together forever 
!
On a more serious note, it's lovely that she has found companionship and purpose in Bobby Rhubarb, especially during her 40s. Maybe this unconventional union will inspire others to reevaluate what love and commitment mean to them. And hey, if a puppy can bring so much joy and meaning to someone's life, why not celebrate it? 
anyway can't wait for rilo kiley's reunion shows, gonna be so much fun!!! 
. Now, I'm hyped for Rilo Kiley's reunion shows - bring on the nostalgia & music therapy 
and who adopts a dog on their 40s? seems like she was just lonely or something, maybe even broke 
. I mean, i get it, Bobby Rhubarb is cute and all 
but getting married to a pet? it's kinda weird 
. and what's with the party reception thing? sounds like some celeb drama 
So I'm thinking, 50 is a big milestone and Jenny Lewis has always been known for being super genuine and heartfelt in her music... it's awesome that she's found someone (or something 
. And can we talk about how adorable their wedding party was? Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald showing up is like, the ultimate best friend move
