Despite her fear that she’d be “single for life,” Billie Eilish’s dating history suggests there are plenty of people lining up for a chance with the singer. The Grammy winner’s first (sort of) public relationship was with Brandon Quention Adams, per Popsugar. Eilish disclosed the romance in her 2021 documentary, “The World’s a Little Blurry,” referring to her then-boyfriend simply as “Q.” Given the timeline of the documentary, fans believe she first dated the rapper in 2018, when she was just 16 and Adams was a cool 21. As Seventeen notes, people also believe that the age difference meant the relationship was characterized by an unhealthy power dynamic. Cue Eilish’s hit “Your Power,” although the singer addressed the rumors via this vague Instagram disclaimer that the hit was actually inspired by “many different situations.”

What is clear is that viewers had lots of opinions of Adams and his portrayal in the documentary, most of which weren’t positive. Fans voiced their thoughts by attacking Adams online, prompting Eilish to jump in with a reminder to “be nice to people no matter what.” As to what led to the breakup, Eilish explained that she “wasn’t happy” and she “didn’t want the same things he wanted.” With Adams putting in minimal effort — like not attending a Coachella party with Eilish — a split seemed inevitable. However, judging by Eilish’s defense of Adams online, she doesn’t hold any grudges.
