Billie Eilish revealed in an unpublished excerpt from her Rolling Stone cover that she remains on good terms with her ex, Jesse Rutherford, and considers him to be one of her favorite people in the world. The two split amicably after less than nine months of dating, with Eilish’s representative dispelling any rumors of infidelity at the time of the breakup. While fans speculated on which songs on her new album were inspired by Rutherford, Eilish emphasized that the record drew from various people and experiences and advised against trying to guess the specific influences of her songs.
The singer, who has rarely spoken about Rutherford since their breakup, shared that the reaction from fans trying to guess the origins of her songs can be toxic, and she does not want to further enhance that speculation. Eilish reiterated her belief that as songwriters, artists should write about what they feel compelled to express and urged fans to take her music and feelings to heart rather than engaging in a guessing game. Despite the rumors and speculations, Eilish emphasized the importance of understanding and connecting with her music on a deeper level, rather than dissecting its inspiration.
Billie Eilish recently opened up about her sexuality, revealing that she is queer and confirming that she is currently single and plans to stay that way for the foreseeable future. She expressed that she is not interested in entering into a serious relationship until she finds someone who truly feels right to her. Eilish’s newest album helped her come to terms with her sexuality, with songs like “Lunch,” which explores having a crush on a girl, playing a significant role in helping her embrace her authentic self and recognize her feelings towards women.
In her candid interview, Eilish shared that she has been in love with girls her whole life but only fully understood her sexuality last year when she realized her romantic interests were specifically geared towards women. This realization has been a transformative journey for her, culminating in a deeper connection with her identity and an acceptance of who she truly is. Eilish credited her music and the process of creating her latest album for empowering her to embrace her sexuality and express her true feelings through her artistry.
Despite the personal revelations she has made in her music, Eilish is careful to navigate the public speculation and scrutiny surrounding her personal life. She prefers that her fans focus on understanding and connecting with the emotions and messages conveyed in her songs rather than trying to uncover the exact inspiration behind them. As she continues to evolve as an artist and individual, Eilish remains committed to expressing her truth authentically through her music and empowering others to embrace their own stories and experiences through her relatable and heartfelt lyrics.
