While it may have appeared to be a match made in music heaven, Billie Eilish’s relationship with The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford arguably became one of the most contentious pairings in Hollywood.
Days after Billie and Jesse went Instagram official in 2022, the couple made their red-carpet debut – and many of Billie’s fans had questions.
Who is Billie Eilish dating?
As of October 2023, Billie Eilish is currently believed to be single.
Billie most recently addressed her relationship status during an August 2023 Instagram Q&A, responding “NO SIRRRRRR” to a fan who asked if she was dating anyone.
Who has Billie Eilish dated?
Billie Eilish was most recently linked to The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford.
Billie reportedly first crossed paths with Jesse in late 2017, with fans taking to Twitter at the time to share a snap of The Neighbourhood star with a then-16-year-old Billie at what appears to be a backstage meet-and-greet.
While the specific timeline of their early relationship is largely unknown, rumours surrounding a potential romance between Jesse and Billie first began to surface on October 13, 2022, after the pair were captured by TMZ out for dinner in West Hollywood.
Less than one week later on October 18, the rumours appeared to be confirmed as the couple were photographed kissing outside a restaurant in Studio City, Los Angeles.
Billie and Jesse further confirmed the rumours of their relationship during their Halloween celebrations, with the new couple dressing as a baby and an old man.

Although the new couple seemingly poked fun at criticism surrounding their 11-year age gap, fans were not impressed with the look, with many taking to Billie’s Instagram comments to condemn the “extremely disturbing” look.
“Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford’s matching Halloween costumes are incredibly sick and twisted – especially with their age difference and power imbalance,” wrote one fan.
“Billie is grown enough to know how weird and creepy this is” commented another.
“It’s not funny or chic, it’s not poking fun, it’s disturbing, and the adults in her life are letting her down once again.”

Following Billie’s controversial Instagram post, the couple publicly debuted their romance on the red carpet on November 8 at the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala in their coordinated Gucci pyjama-style ensemble.
Shortly after their red carpet debut, Billie spoke publicly about her relationship with Jesse for the first time.
“I managed to get my way to a point in my life where not only was I known by a person, that I thought was the hottest f****ing f***er alive, but [I] pulled his ass… Jesse Rutherford everyone…. I locked that f***er down,” she told Vanity Fair.
In December 2022, Billie and Jesse donned another couple’s costume to celebrate Billie’s 21st birthday, with the pair co-ordinating as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

Keeping their relationship out of the public eye, Billie and Jesse only shared a handful of photos together throughout early 2023, with the couple making their last red-carpet appearance together in March at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
Two months later, the couple announced that they had split after less than one year together, with a representative for Billie confirming the breakup to People.
“We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends. All cheating rumours are false. Both are currently single,” the statement read.

Following their split, Billie took to her Instagram in August 2023 to respond to fan queries regarding her relationship with Jesse, with the star stating they are “very very good friends only,” before calling Jesse “my homie forever.”
While the conversation surrounding Billie and Jesse’s relationship may have left headlines shortly after their split, Billie sent fans into a frenzy in later October when she was photographed holding hands with Jesse’s ex-girlfriend Devon Lee Carlson as they attended Kendall Jenner’s Halloween party in Hollywood.
