public with their courtship earlier this year, but the internet was used as the first means of communication between them.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Rolling Stone, Skrillex &ndash; who was born Sonny John Moore &ndash; stated after sending each other messages on the web, they started texting and talking, before finally meeting up in the US.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to note that they are not a &quot;public thing&quot; at the moment, hinting they prefer to keep their relationship private.<\/p>\n<p>The budding romance between the Grammy Award-winning artist and Goulding &ndash; who emerged
