“It’s really cool, and I’m really excited and I’m really happy about it,” Eilish said with a smile. “I managed to get my life to a point where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f***ing f***er alive, but pulled his a**!

Billie Eilish fans are concerned about the singer’s relationship with boyfriend Jesse Rutherford
Fans are worried about Billie Eilish after the singer’s comments about her relationship with boyfriend Jesse Rutherford. They discussed the new romance, particularly the age difference and power dynamics between the 20-year-old and the 31-year-old, in a Reddit thread.
“He knew her when she was 15 and she’s admired him all throughout her teenage years,” one fan wrote. “He took advantage of that and used it to get into a relationship… the attraction definitely didn’t start overnight, it’s so gross to think he could’ve manipulated her adolescent feelings for him.”
“It’s weird to blame her for anything when this quote just goes to show the power imbalance in the relationship,” said another fan. “She’s a twenty year old girl who’s dating a guy from a band she’s liked since she was a teenager, like of course she’s saying things like this. it’s an obvious manipulation tactic and the only person who should be blamed and clowned is Jesse Rutherford the grown man responsible for said manipulation tactic.”
“i’m not going to drag her for this because i was the exact same way when i was her age,” wrote another fan. “i’m sure when she gets older she’ll reflect on that relationship and know it wasn’t right.
And one fan said, “Ohhh her 30s are gonna be fun when she starts understanding all of her unresolved trauma.”
