Star reveals truth behind break-up

Billie Eilish has revealed how she’s feeling about her famous ex just months after they called it quits.

Eilish, 21, started dating Jesse Rutherford, lead singer from the band The Neighbourhood, sometime in 2022, and the usually-private star was surprisingly open about their relationship.

The pair walked red carpets together and even posted about each other online.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, she joked he was the “hottest” man and asked everyone to give her a round of applause for bagging him.

“I managed to get my way to a point in my life where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f**king f**ker alive, but pulled his a**.”
 

Sadly their relationship came to a screeching halt in May, and Eilish hasn’t commented on the split until now.

Naturally, everyone has been eager to know if the split was amicable, with Eilish today revealing on Instagram that the two are still mates.

In response to a fan question about her former beau, she confirmed the relationship was over and declared he was a “very good friend only”.

“My homie forever,” she added.

When the two first hooked up there was some slight controversy around the relationship because Rutherford is almost a decade older than Eilish.

The singer is famously very close to her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell, and during their relationship, he responded to concern about the age difference on TikTok.

“Your sister’s dating a 31-year-old man,” a fan commented.

O’Connell said he wanted his famous sister to be “happy and safe” and pointed out that she was an adult.

“She is a 21-year-old adult perfectly entitled to make her own life decisions.”
 

Eilish is never shy about telling fans what she thinks.

Earlier this year she took to Instagram after receiving hate from fans claiming she had changed too much because she’d swapped baggy pants for tighter dresses.

“I spent the first five years of my career getting absolutely obliterated by you fools for being boyish and dressing like how I did and constantly being told I’d be hotter if I acted like a woman,” she wrote.

“Now, when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I changed, and I am a ‘sellout’ and ‘what happened to her.’ You guys are true idiots. Let women exist,” she continued.
