Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lorde has been in the spotlight lately, not just for her music but also for her personal life. Her new album, Virgin, has created a lot of buzz, and she is set to headline Lollapalooza Brazil 2026, marking a high point in her career. Fans, however, are curious about her love life and whether she is currently dating anyone.
Is Lorde dating Jim-E Stack?
As of September 2025, Lorde is not publicly dating anyone. In June 2025, rumors circulated about a possible romance with Jim-E Stack, who co-produced her album Virgin. The two were photographed together at Glastonbury and a London heliport, sparking speculation. However, neither Lorde nor Jim-E Stack has confirmed any relationship.
Lorde’s first public relationship
Lorde’s first reported relationship was with New Zealand photographer James Lowe. She was just 16, and he was 24, which drew some public attention. Lorde’s parents reportedly liked James, with her mother telling Rolling Stone:
“I didn’t say, ‘Yeah, sure, go date a 24-year-old.’ But her dad and I met James, and we liked him.”
Their relationship lasted about two years, ending in 2015. Fans believe that her critically acclaimed 2017 album, Melodrama, was inspired by their breakup, particularly the single Green Light. Lorde has admitted that the heartbreak influenced the album, but she stressed that Melodrama is much more than just a reaction to the breakup. She told The New York Times Magazine:
“After your heart is broken, music enters you on a new level. You suddenly find yourself crying when Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart [song by Alicia Keys] comes on.”
Rumored romance with Jack Antonoff
Some fans speculated that Lorde had a romance with Jack Antonoff, who co-wrote and co-produced Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021). Their close creative partnership and the emotional depth of the music fueled these rumors, but both have denied any romantic involvement. Jack Antonoff is now married to actress Margaret Qualley.
For now, Lorde appears focused on her music and upcoming tour, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her Lollapalooza performance while respecting her private life.
