Lorde's Boyfriend Finally Opens Up About Relationship And Internet Bullying

Much has been written about 17-year-old Lorde's relationship with 24-year-old artist James Lowe. And despite the verbal bashing he has received on the Internet, her paramour has stayed mum -- until now.

In a new post on his blog, Ono Field, Lowe breaks his silence about what it's like to be dating music's "It" girl.

"I've written, deleted, re-written, and deleted this post at least five times over the past few months, wondering when would be an appropriate time to start writing again. Since originally sitting down to write this post, Ella has become a two-time Grammy winner."

He also comments on his pride for his lady love, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, writing, "She has taken home a Brit too. Currently she is on the opposite side of the world on tour. As much as I miss her, I couldn't be prouder of what she has achieved so far."

Lowe also addressed the Internet bullying that was directed at him after his relationship with the pop star was revealed. In December, Twitter users slammed the photographer, calling him "ugly" and making racist comments.

"My life is probably a lot different now, but it feels normal on the inside. Jared Leto said that fame doesn't change you, it changes everyone around you. While I'm not the centre of attention here (and f--k, the times I have, it's never been fun), I do become aware of the people around me and their transparency," said Lowe.

But despite the down sides, Lowe remains positive about the ride. "There is a bright, shining silver lining to this thing I've been exposed to ... I've been able to tell tales of the many amazing people I've met along the way -- from fellow photographers, to artists I've always admired and never thought I'd get to meet, let alone have a simple thing like coffee with."

Always look on the bright side!
