AceShowbiz - They sure look like more than just friends! Lorde and Jack Antonoff got cuddly when they stepped out together in her hometown of Auckland, New Zealand, despite the music producer denying the rumors last month following his split from longtime girlfriend Lena Dunham.
Lorde, whose real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'connor, and Jack were photographed strolling around the streets. The "Ruler" hitmaker was seen wrapping her arms around the Fun. lead guitarist. At one point, the rumored lovebirds were walking arm-in-arm during the outing in the town.
In some photos obtained by Daily Mail, the 21-year-old songstrees, who looked beautiful in a sheer green top and white pants, and the 33-year-old songwriter/music producer, looking comfy in a casual blue outfit, certainly had a great time together as they flashed big smiles and shared laughs together.
The rumored couple's PDA-filled outing comes just a month after Jack denied he was dating Lorde just days after his breakup with Lena was confirmed. Taking to his Twitter account on January 17, the three-time Grammy-winning musician insisted he was definitely a single man after the split.
"normally i would never address rumors but i resent having the most important friendships and working relationships in my life reduced to dumb hetero normative gossip. those relationships are deeply important and sacred," he said, adding, "with that said, im not seeing anyone. lol."
Lorde herself has also addressed the dating rumors between them in a recent interview with Billboard. Opening up about her special relationship with the Bleacher founder, she explained that they've become close friends after working on music together.
"We still FaceTime almost every day," she said of her platonic relationship with Jack, whom she collaborated with on her hit album "Melodrama". "When you work with someone, you sometimes think, 'Maybe it will just be for this time,' and we say we're going to keep in touch but we won't," she continued explaining. "But we really ... I'm like, 'Hey, d**khead, what are you getting me for Christmas?' "
Speaking about their mutual admiration for each other, Lorde shared that when she first came to New York, "we had only written together maybe a couple of times, and we were very obsessed with each other on a creative level and as buds."
