Billie Eilish cuddles up to Jesse Rutherford from The Neighborhood
Billie Eilish has been noted to be holding a hand with The Neighborhood singer Jesse Rutherford – and fans are divided over a possible new romance.
Fan posted TikTok video A couple exiting a haunted maze during Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on Friday, where 20-year-old Eilish grabbed 31-year-old Rutherford’s hand.
“OMG, I just saw Billie Eilish on Horror Nights,” a fan wrote.
Although Rutherford’s face was not visible in the clip, he appeared to be wearing the same leather jacket in an Instagram story shared by Eilish’s brother Finneas shortly after.
Two days later, Pop Crave’s Twitter account shared a photo of a couple who reportedly had a meal together in a restaurant.
Eilish and Rutherford wore different outfits than their amusement park date, signaling that they went out more than once together.
Eilish officials did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
After the video and photo hit the Internet, fans began debating on social media whether the couple’s nearly 10-year age gap was inappropriate.
“Yes, there are adults, but 20 and 31 are not ALMOST the same maturity range … just as a 20-year-old is a college age and a 31-year-old is a fully grown-up ass,” argued one Twitter user.
Another person jumped to the comment section of the TikTok video to write, “I love Jesse, but I don’t like the fact that he can’t even drink legally and he’s 31, no, no.”
A third person simply commented, “the age difference is killing me.”
Social media users also showed the photo shared via a Rutherford fan account in December 2017, which showed the couple playfully posing at a costume party to emphasize that they have known each other for years.
At the time, Eilish was 15 and Rutherford was 26.
The singer “Happier Than Ever” has been silent about her love life for years. Previously, she was associated with rapper Brandon “Q” Adams and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.
In turn, the musician “Sweater Weather” dated the model Devon Lee Carlson from 2015 to 2021.
