read lorde’s super-cute birthday messages to boyfriend james lowe

For the most part, Lorde and her boyfriend James Lowe have kept their relationship out of the public eye, save the occasional instagram, but they clearly share a lot of love on the down-low. But when the Grammy Award winner has something she wants to express, she certainly does just that. Lorde shared a few adorable Instagrams for James Lowe's birthday week, letting her love for her man really shine through to the world. And if it wasn't already clear, we freaking love this couple.

Check out the gallery to see Lorde's sweet messages for the birthday boy, along with some more snaps of the cool twosome. But first, watch this adorable video of Lorde singing with a sleepy James. She captioned the vid, "I know you guys don't know as much about this dude as you do about me, but lemme just tell you, he falls asleep at parties and then I wake him up to make him be the other half in my Shaggy duet, and he does it, so basically he's the best. There's no better analogy. And no better half. Love you, J!"
