Billie Eilish is embracing a new chapter in her life as she bids farewell to her romance with singer-songwriter Jesse Rutherford. Confirming the news, a representative for the 21-year-old “Happier Than Ever” artist informed WaxMia on Wednesday that Eilish and Rutherford have amicably ended their relationship. The statement also debunked any cheating rumors, emphasizing that both artists are currently single.
Whispers of their romantic involvement began swirling when the duo was spotted sharing a kiss at a restaurant in Los Angeles back in October 2022. Although Eilish had yet to publicly acknowledge her connection with The Neighbourhood frontman, they made their relationship official the following month. Eilish and Rutherford walked the red carpet together at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, showcasing their affection for one another.
Addressing the criticism surrounding their age difference (with Rutherford being ten years her senior), Eilish confidently expressed her excitement and happiness about their partnership in an interview with Vanity Fair. She praised the initial spark that caught Rutherford’s attention and highlighted the importance of trust, space, love, and equal admiration within their relationship.
While their romantic journey has come to an end, Eilish and Rutherford have maintained their friendship, parting ways with mutual respect and fondness. As Eilish moves forward, she eagerly awaits what the future has in store, ready to embrace new experiences and opportunities.
