Posing with family and friends, this marked their first official public appearance together, and fans are overjoyed for the couple.

Following the singer’s previous breakup with Jesse Rutherford, and the harsh controversy that circulated about their age gap and history, Billie was much more vocal about wanting privacy around her relationships and sexuality moving forward.

Now, the Grammy, Academy Awards, and Golden Globe Awards winner seems to be healing as her and her family stand proudly beside her new boyfriend, Nat Wolff, celebrating her career and the people who have supported her through it.

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff’s relationship timeline

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff have the friends-to-lovers timeline of everyone’s dreams.

The pair first became friends through Nat’s brother Alex in 2023 and the three of them bonded over their shared experience with Tourettes syndrome, which Alex speaks on to Variety. Since then, their friendship grew.

They went to Coachella together in 2024, Nat appeared on Billie’s Chihiro music video, and soon after, Nat and Alex’s band The Naked Brothers Band opened for her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.

However, dating rumours between Billie and Nat only started circulating in March 2025 after the pair were spotted leaving the iHeartRadio Music Awards together and bar-hopping across New York City. However, sources reportedly close to Eilish told Page Six at the time that “they are close friends. Nothing more.”

Although, they couldn’t claim “close friends” for much longer after they were spotted kissing on a balcony in Venice, Italy in June 2025. Since then, the couple’s relationship was thrown into the spotlight and the pair embraced it, posing for photos at the 2026 Grammy’s together.

Now, their relationship is red carpet official, and what better red carpet to debut their relationship than the premiere for Billie’s tour film, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) in Los Angeles.

The film charts her four-night sold-out run in Manchester, England and touches on the star’s commitment to the environment and her fans. At the world premiere, Nat, Billie, her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell, and the film’s co-director James Cameron were photographed together.

We’re glad Billie is getting her flowers, and that she has a partner by her side who she adores!

Who was Billie Eilish’s previous boyfriend?

Billie Eilish was linked to The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford in 2023.

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.

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.
