After Lena Dunham confirmed that her and boyfriend of five years Jack Antonoff split earlier this month, rumors began that he had already moved on — but Antonoff took to Twitter this morning to deny them.
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. with that said, im not seeing anyone. lol.

After the split, according to SPIN, Us Weekly published an article announcing the Bleachers frontman was dating someone new, and that person was also a musician. However, the article was quickly updated with the “musician” part removed. Fans immediately began speculating this person was Antonoff’s longtime friend and collaborator Lorde.
This Jack Antonoff leaving Lena Dunham for Lorde is the Hellmans level drama that I didn’t even know I wanted

To add fuel to the fire, Perez Hilton reported that while Dunham hadn’t deleted pictures of Antonoff from her Instagram, she did appear to remove a post about Lorde’s latest album, Melodrama.
And while Antonoff didn’t directly mention Lorde in his tweet, she did retweet it.
Incredibly great that he didn’t address lorde by name but she still smashed the RT pic.twitter.com/m9v9FembBR
