Lorde and Jack Antonoff ‘get close’ on Grammys weekend

Lorde and Jack Antonoff have been spending a lot of time together.

The couple looked closer than ever over Grammy weekend nearly two weeks after he insisted that they were nothing more than just work friends.

On Saturday the two appeared to be ‘very much like a couple’ at Clive Davis’ party in New York City, a source tells DailyMail.com.

Then at the Grammy Awards show on Sunday, the musicians sat side-by-side with the beauty leaning on the Fun front man.

‘They were very cute at Clive’s party, he never left her side,’ a source told DailyMail.com.

‘It was obvious they are dating. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her. She looked very smitten as well, as if she was hooked. They are definitely more than friends.

‘But he looked really shy about it, he was looking over his shoulder all the time, like he didn’t want to get busted being with Lorde.’

The next night they were seen together again.

Though they did not walk the red carpet together (he came with sister Rachel and she was joined by brother Angelo), during the show he sat next to the brunette beauty.

And when they were photographed together, the musician looked like a deer in headlights and even tried to look away as if he didn’t know her.

PageSix has also reported that they were close on Grammy weekend, saying they were ‘attached at the hip.’

This comes after his strong denial they are an item.  

The Bleachers frontman took to Twitter nearly two weeks ago to shoot down rumors he was seeing the singer, just days after his break-up with longtime partner Lena Dunham was confirmed.

‘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,’ he wrote. ‘Those relationships are deeply important and sacred.’

He added: ‘With that said, I’m not seeing anyone. lol.’

The record producer and the Kiwi singer are close friends and frequent collaborators, he said.

He penned 10 songs for her sophomore release, Melodrama, which has been now been nominated for a Grammy for Album Of The Year.

He also makes frequent appearances on her Instagram page.

In early January reps confirmed Antonoff had split from Girls creator Dunham after five years together.

A report in US Weekly claimed the two ‘took forever to actually break up.’

‘It was very drawn out,’ an insider told the magazine, adding that the couple ‘had been slowly breaking up for the last six months.’

The source told the publication that ‘it just took way too long to pull off the band aid’ from the relationship, which reportedly came to a close in December. 

Lena briefly discussed the split during an Instagram Live session on January 9, and told her fans that she is ‘still wearing’ a ring that Jack gave her. 

‘Love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing,’ she said. ‘It doesn’t have to be defined the way, we in Western culture, define it as beginnings and ends.’

Last week Jack was seen with model and artist Carlotta Kohl at Gemma in NYC, but they may only be friends.

At the Grammys, Lorde wore a red dress. The 21-year-old shared a snap of the poem, by Jenny Holzer, saying it was her ‘version of a white rose.’ 

‘My version of a white rose — THE APOCALYPSE WILL BLOSSOM — an excerpt from the greatest of all time, Jenny Holzer,’ Lorde captioned the snap. 

The poem reads: ‘Rejoice! Our times are intolerable. Take courage, for the worst is a harbinger of the best.’

‘Only dire circumstances can precipitate the overthrow of oppressors. The old and corrupt must be laid to waste before the just can triumph. Contradiction will be heightened.’
