If these pictures are anything to go by, Lorde has a steamy new man on her hands.

The singer was spotted on a beach in New Zealand last week with hunky Universal Music promoter Justin Warren, and it looked like the pair were having a lot of fun together.

But despite the frolicking snaps, Justin says there's absolutely nothing going on.

"Ella and I have worked together for years and we're good friends. Any rumours of us being 'a pair' are ridiculous," he told the New Zealand Herald. 

"Ella has a really busy year ahead of her and we'll be spending more time together as plans for the next Lorde record unfold."

Even though he said all this, we still have our suspicions. Firstly, usually promoters use the performers stage name instead of their real name, sparking rumours that the two are quite close.

And secondly, usual business meetings don't involve frolicking and playing around on a beach. Hmmm.

Lorde split from her former boyfriend James Lowe late last year, and while the singer hasn't confirmed it, many sources say they had an amicable split.
