Lorde, who is believed to have broken up with her longtime boyfriend James Lowe late last year, has been spotted out recently with Universal Music promotions director Justin Warren.
People noted that speculation the two were dating began when Warren accompanied the “Royals” singer to an award show in November. And just last week, the pair were seen together again at Piha Beach near Auckland, New Zealand. However, Warren dismissed the rumors that he and Lorde, whose real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, were a couple.
“Ella and I have worked together for years and we’re good friends. Any rumors of us being ‘a pair’ are ridiculous,” he told the New Zealand Herald. “Ella has a really busy year ahead of her and we’ll be spending more time together as plans for the next Lorde record unfold.”
Strictly professional or not judging by this photo from Feb. 8, they definitely seem to be enjoying each other’s company. And we definitely enjoy hearing that plans for another album will be in the works soon.
