Singer Billie Eilish’s representative has confirmed that she and artist Jesse Rutherford have parted ways amicably and will remain good friends. Speaking with Page Six, the rep also shut down any speculation that there was cheating involved in the split.
Eilish and Rutherford reportedly began dating in October last year. They were photographed kissing that month.
Later Eilish spoke with Vanity Fair and said ‘Yeah, I do [have a boyfriend now]. And it’s really cool, and I’m really excited, and I’m really happy about it. 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*cking f*cker alive, but pulled his ass. Are you kidding me? Can we just—round of applause for me? Thank you. Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his ass—all me! I did that shit. I locked that motherf*cker down.’
Sharing more details about their relationship, she said, ‘My whatever they say—love language—is just physical touch. Touching and cuddling and hugging and anything skin-related is really a big thing for me. And other than that, just like, freedom. You know, I don’t wanna be controlled. I wanna be trusted, and I wanna be able to have space, and I want love and attention, and equal admiration is really important. I just am really inspired by this person [Rutherford], and you know, he’s inspired by me. It’s really cool.’
Eilish and Rutherford have also attended industry events as a couple, including the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party.
