From Fleetwood Mac to Eric Clapton, some of the finest art has emerged from complicated love triangles. Lorde, who recently released a new album, is speculated to have been involved in not one, but two romantic entanglements over the years.
The 28-year-old musician recently ‘went public’ with producer Jim E-Stack, 33, with reports of the two getting cozy at Glastonbury over the weekend. His former partner, Kacy Hill, 31, seemed to suggest that he ended their six-and-a-half-year relationship following his collaboration on the New Zealand singer’s album.
This sharp remark brought back memories of another romantic ‘rivalry’ involving the Kiwi artist, industry giant Jack Antonoff, 41, and his ex-girlfriend Lena Dunham, 39.
But while all the parties have denied bizarre speculation that the Bleachers front-man cheated on Lena with Lorde, some dedicated fans are still convinced something happened – with one even creating a detailed PowerPoint to make their case.
The document – which insisted that Lorde’s album Meodrama (produced by Jack and recorded largely in the apartment-dash-studio he shared with Lena) offered an insight into the alleged ‘affair’ – went viral.
In a series of rambles, it posited that Lorde and Jack got together in April 2016; just months before Jack and Lena’s split in December 2017, after five years of dating.
The slides also included a ‘timeline’, stating that Lorde and Jack met sometime around 2014 to 2015, whereas Jack and Lena are understood to have started their relationship around 2012.
It summarised reports – made in January 2018, which claimed that Jack was ‘seeing someone else’, as per US Weekly – as well as the follow up that just one month later, he and Lorde were spotted looking cosy and hugging while strolling in her native Auckland, where his band was opening for Paramore.

Speaking to The Cut in 2018, Lena praised user @buzzkillary, who was behind the project.
‘Actually, I completely respect this girl, because she did a very good job and she was very funny,’ she quipped – albeit admitting that ‘it was so embarrassing’.
‘It was awful because I felt like a weird… I don’t think anything happened between them. I can never know someone else’s life. I have never spoken to Ella [Lorde] about it,’ she continued.
‘We haven’t talked since Jack and I broke up. It was awful, and I couldn’t do anything about it except trust that what he was saying to me was true.’
Jack and Lorde, meanwhile, have both rubbished rumours that anything romantic between them ever happened, both taking to social media that same year.
‘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,’ the producer penned.
‘Those relationships are deeply important and sacred. With that said, I’m not seeing anyone. lol.’
‘Guys… Jack and I are not dating, for the last time,’ Lorde also wrote on X. ‘I love him, he’s awesome, but we’re not dating! Please!’

Needless to say all seems to be history – as Jack married actress Margaret Qualley in 2023 (both pictured in March), while Lena wed musician Luis Felber in 2021
In July 2021, Lorde went so far as to tell Ash London Live on Australia’s Hit Network that she sees him as a ‘platonic husband’.
‘Jack’s and my relationship is really deep and is like a marriage in some ways – a platonic marriage,’ she explained.
‘We’re in it for life I think at this point. We’ve been very close for five or six years now. We don’t seem to get sick of each other. But who knows, anything could happen.’
Lorde set the record straight once again, a few months later, in an interview with The New York Times.
She had hit back at the ‘growing narrative’ concerning her connection Jack following his involvement in her album Solar Power that year.
The singer, whose real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, said it was ‘insulting’ and ‘sexist’ for critics to refer to Solar Power as ‘a Jack Antonoff record’.
‘I haven’t made a Jack Antonoff record. I’ve made a Lorde record and he’s helped me make it and very much deferred to me on production and arrangement,’ she added.
‘Jack would agree with this. To give him that amount of credit is frankly insulting.’

Lorde then criticised the speculation surrounding her personal relationship with Jack, as well as the idea she’s part of his so-called ‘stable’ of female collaborators.
She called the discussion around the subject – which has also included speculation about the pair’s romantic and sexual life – ‘retro’ and ‘sexist’.

Lorde meanwhile, looks to have confirmed romance rumours with producer Jim E-Stack over the Glastonbury weekend.
According to The Sun, the Teams hitmaker was spotted ‘getting close with the musician on stage’ after playing a surprise set at the Woodsies stage on Friday.
It was also reported that the pair were seen ‘with their arms around each other while they watched The 1975’ and went on ‘partying until well after 4am’.
MailOnline contacted Lorde’s representatives for a comment at the time.
Amid the blossoming romance however, Jim’s ex-girlfriend Kacy Hill – an American singer – appeared to throw shade as in a TikTok she revealed that her six-and-a-half year relationship came to an end when he started working with Lorde on her single Man Of The Year.

Last weekend at Glasto, he singer – who previously graced The Pyramid stage in 2022 – performed all of her biggest hits from Ribs to Green Light, as well as a rendition of her new album
‘Let’s hear it for the man who ended a 6.5 year relationship while making a girl’s album then started dating her,’ she quipped.
A source told the publication: ‘Lorde is really happy with Jim after they bonded making the album.
‘But there was no overlap and she was very respectful.’
The Royals singer and Jim were previously linked in October 2024 when the pair were seen making a rare public outing in New York.
At the time, Lorde wasn’t been pictured with her music executive boyfriend Justin Warren since March 2023.
The pair began fuelling rumours they are working on a new album together after Jim-E shared a photo of Lorde to Instagram in August.

Wearing her jet black hair down, Lorde sported an all-white look for the occasion consisting of a pair of straight leg jeans and a plain T-shirt.
While belting out her lyrics, Lorde put her abs on full display as she lifted her T-shirt up to reveal her bra.
She later stripped out of the T-shirt, laying bare her impressive figure and sending thousands of supporters wild.
‘Moooorning’, she greeted the crowd, ‘this is sick’.
And it seems her performance didn’t disappoint, with a host of festival-goers taking to X to praise the popstar.
Supporters described the show as ‘out of this world’, ‘utterly euphoric’ and ‘brilliant’.
