It’s that time of year again—cuffing season, and as the weather gets cooler, Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford are seemingly getting cozier and cozier.
New photos from TMZ show the two musicians dining together in Los Angeles last night. They were even spotted sharing a steamy kiss on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.
This wasn’t the first time Billie and Jesse were seen together. During a date at Los Angeles’ Crossroads Kitchen on Oct. 13, they were also spotted kissing, per People. Clearly, they’re not trying to hide their affection!
Additionally, a fan captured a video of the celebs holding hands earlier this week while attending Halloween Horror night at Universal Studios. How romantic!
While Twitter users have a lot to say about the Sweater Weather singer’s age compared to Billie’s, the negative attention doesn’t seem to phase the potential new couple. (Billie is 20 years old compared to Jesse’s 31 years.)
Regardless, they’re not afraid to lock lips, putting the “public” in PDA.
Although neither of the stars has publicly confirmed their relationship yet, I’m expecting an announcement any moment now.
IDK about you, but I’m Happier Than Ever about the pop singers’ budding romance (see what I did there?). So, as a loyal Billie fan, I did some digging to get the low-down on her likely new beau.
Here’s what you need to know.
Who is Billie Eilish dating now?
Nothing is official as of yet, but Jesse Rutherford seems to be Billie’s new man, given all of the dates and kisses the duo has been spotted sharing.
Billie previously dated Rapper Q, aka Brandon Adams, and was said to have also been in a relationship with actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, per People.
There were some cheating allegations after her relationship with Matthew ended; however, the actor debunked them via his Instagram stories on May 30, 2022. “Nobody cheated on anyone. Relationships end. Simple as that,” per People.
Jesse previously dated Devon Lee Carlson, the model and entrepreneur, from 2015 to 2021, Newsweek reported. This couple was even dubbed “2019’s most 2019 couple” by GQ. While I’m not exactly sure what qualifications that title entails, it’s safe to say that their six-year relationship was pretty serious.
Who is Jesse Rutherford?
Jesse is a singer, songwriter, and actor. However, you probably know him best as the lead vocalist for The Neighbourhood, the alternative rock band that wrote the hit single Sweater Weather in 2013, per Billboard.
He has performed at Lollapolooza and Coachella, so he’s kind of a big deal.
Jesse had his first solo tour in 2019, according to The LA Times, and created the popular TikTok song Stargazing in 2020, per Seventeen.
How did they meet?
It’s not entirely clear how Billie and Jesse met. However, photos of the duo posing together in 2017 indicate that they’ve been friendly for a while.
How large is their age gap?
Jesse turned 31 in August. Billie is 20, and her birthday is in December, per Newsweek.
That leaves the maybe-couple with a 10.5-year age difference.
How have fans reacted to their ‘ship?
Many fans have taken to Twitter to discuss the singers’ age difference. While many users have negative thoughts on the matter (and aren’t afraid to share), some highlight the fact that Billie is mature for her age and can make her own decisions.
This Tweet put their age gap in some pop-culture terms.
How long have they been together?
It’s tough to say. Because neither Billie nor Jesse has publicly commented on the romance, their relationship timeline is a bit unclear.
However, there’s no denying that sparks have most definitely been flying for the past month or so.
