Unlike most pop stars, Lorde (Ella Yelich-O’Connor) likes to keep her dating history out of the public eye. The 28-year-old singer regularly purges her Instagram, offering glimpses into her world only when promoting new music. Though intensely private, the acclaimed artist has had two reported relationships, both with significantly older partners.
Who is Lorde dating?
Lorde is not dating anyone publicly in 2025. She reportedly broke up with her previous boyfriend, Justin Warren, at the end of 2023. Though she never commented on her relationships openly, she talked about a breakup in a newsletter to her fans.
The “Supercut” singer revealed at the time, “I’m living with heartbreak again.” Speaking of the heartbreak, the singer confessed, “It’s different but the same. I ache all the time, I forget why, and then remember. I’m not trying to hide from the pain, I understand now that pain isn’t something to hide from, that there’s actually great beauty in moving with it. But sometimes I’m sick of being with myself.”
Lorde’s dating history
Lorde debuted in her music career in 2009, and reports indicate that she started dating photographer James Lowe when she was 16 years old. Lowe was 24 at the time, and the singer’s mother talked about the duo’s relationship, especially as Lowe was “older” than her.
Lorde’s mother told 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.” She added, “When Ella was much younger, her first boyfriend was older—four years or something.”
The celebrity couple apparently broke up in 2015 after being together for three years. According to fan theories, Lorde’s Melodrama (2017) track “Green Light” is about her former boyfriend, James Lowe. In “Green Light,” Lorde talks about a lover’s infidelity. In verse 1, she sings, “I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth/ She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a damn liar.”
After Lowe, fans speculated that Lorde was in a long-term relationship with Justin Warren, the American promotions director for Universal Music in New Zealand. She signed with the record label in 2009, when she was only thirteen. Rumors claim the duo started dating six years later.
Justin Warren initially denied dating rumors in 2016. However, Lorde was spotted with Warren three years later in 2019, and the Daily Mail reported that the duo could be engaged. Lorde was spotted with a bigger “engagement ring” in 2021 at the Variety Power of Women event. The duo reportedly broke up in 2023.
