Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford Split After Dating for Just 6 Months
May 17 2023, Published 4:30 p.m. ET
Singers Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford confirmed their break up after six months of dating, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Confirmation of the split came after Eilish, 21, attended the Met Gala without Rutherford, 31, earlier this month.
Prior to Eilish's solo red carpet appearance, the former couple was last spotted together in April, when the pair attended Coachella music festival in Southern California.
A rep for the Bad Guy singer revealed that despite their relationship ending, the two intended to "remain good friends."
"We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," Eilish's spokesperson told PageSix.
The rep additionally denied that cheating played a factor in the couple's break up.
After Eilish was seen getting "cozy" with queer actress Ava Capri at a Met Gala afterparty, rumors swirled that the Ocean Eyes singer was unfaithful, which her spokesperson branded as simply "false."
Eilish and Rutherford first made headlines in October 2022, when they were initially linked to each other. Shortly after rumors began, Eilish debuted the budding relationship on her Instagram.
In the Halloween-themed post, Eilish and Rutherford raised eyebrows with their unusual costume choices, which appeared to mock their 10-year age difference.
Eilish dressed as a toddler, with exaggerated doll-like makeup and an oversized bonnet a la Bo Peep. Rutherford, on the other hand, donned the costume of an elderly man. The Sweater Weather singer wore a bald wig cap, gray mustache, suspenders and a cardigan.
Amid backlash, Eilish deleted the photo from the carousel-style post.
While fans were taken back by the couple costume choice, dating an older man wasn't unusual for Eilish.
