Some happy news for singer Lorde - her parents have got engaged after thirty years together!
The singer tweeted she had the "BEST DAY", adding "Went to Niagara Falls - my dad proposed to my mum after almost 30 years together."
Lorde's father, civil engineer Vic O'Connor, proposed to her mother, poet Sonja Yelich, at the waterfall - and now Lorde really HAS "seen a diamond in the flesh".
Her twitter fans clearly noticed this too, and she was tweeted incessantly about the lyric from her hit Royals:
"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh / I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies / And I'm not proud of my address / In a torn-up town, no postcode envy."
So she tweeted back: "Inevitable response yes I know I have seen a diamond now."
Lorde has previously spoken about her parents, and how they know exactly how to deal with a teenager with worldwide fame:
"My parents are really onto it; they know what young people need. My mum takes my iPhone off me at night, because I need to do homework and sleep, otherwise I'd spend all night on Facebook and Instagram… My parents are pretty good; they understand what I really want. If I do decide to leave school at the end of this year, that's a bridge we'll cross."
Congrats!
