Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford caught some serious heat over their 10-year age gap. However, the couple couldn’t have cared less. They poked fun at detractors by dressing as a baby and a senior citizen for Halloween. Eilish posted a since-deleted pic of their get-up on her Instagram in November 2022.
The Eyelash brigade didn’t have to wait long for another couple pic, though. Eilish and Rutherford made their red carpet debut days later at the 2022 LACMA gala. They were clad in matching Gucci monogrammed PJs, huddled together under a giant logo-embossed comforter. Everything seemed to be peachy between the musicians until it wasn’t. They were spotted at Coachella in April 2023, uncharacteristically keeping under the radar and out of the glare of the cameras. A month later, they were done. “We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends,” her rep told Page Six in May 2023.
Rumors that the two had rekindled their romance reignited thanks to the emergence of a video showing Eilish shaving Rutherford’s head in a closet. However, sometimes a haircut is just a haircut. Eilish candidly confirmed her split from Rutherford during a Q&A on her Instagram Story in August 2023. “Are you dating anyone?” a fan asked. “No sir,” she shot back. “Jesse?” another asked. “Very, very good friends only,” Eilish replied.
