Singer-songwriter Finneas O’Connell is an active user of TikTok, and it looks like he’s seen the internet’s reactions to his sister’s older boyfriend. On December 26, a TikToker responded to one of O’Connell’s videos — in which he criticized the trend of tricking people into believing a beloved celebrity has died — by saying, “Oh yeah? Well, your sister’s dating a 31-year-old man and your music is s****y.”
Surprisingly, O’Connell turned up in the comments section of the user’s video to defend Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford’s romance. “I want my sister to be happy and safe,” he replied. “And she is a 21 year old adult perfectly entitled to make her own life decisions.”

O’Connell made it clear he is in full support of his sister regardless of the opinions social media users may hold about his sister dating someone 10 years her senior. Despite the fallout on social media, Eilish and Rutherford are still going strong, with the two lovebirds recently celebrating the hitmaker’s 21st birthday. Page Six notes that the two dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus to mark the occasion. Unbothered!
