Billie Eilish, 20, goes Instagram-official with boyfriend Jesse Rutherford, 31
Backlash be damned, she’s happier than ever.
Billie Eilish made her controversial relationship with her much-older boyfriend, Jesse Rutherford, Instagram-official early Tuesday.
The “TV” singer, 20, shared a carousel of photos from her weekend of Halloween celebrations, including one of her and the Neighbourhood vocalist, 31, in costume as a baby and an elderly man, respectively.
She also included a snap of Rutherford as a clown.
“life is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy🤡 happy halloween🎃🥰,” Eilish captioned the post.
The new couple raised eyebrows on Sunday when they debuted their Halloween costumes at a star-studded party, with Eilish wearing a bonnet, a bib and doll makeup while Rutherford sported a bald cap and a gray mustache.
“can’t believe billie eilish and jesse rutherford didn’t dress up for halloween,” one fan tweeted, poking fun at the pair’s 10-year age gap.
“Billie is grown enough to know how weird and creepy this is,” another wrote.
Eilish and Rutherford first sparked dating rumors in mid-October when they were photographed having dinner together in Los Angeles. The next evening, they were spotted holding hands at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights.
Throwback photos shared by fans at the time revealed the musicians have known each other since at least 2017 — when Eilish was 15 and Rutherford was 26.
The “Happier Than Ever” songstress and the alternative rock star have since gone public with their romance, making out in front of the paparazzi outside a restaurant in Studio City, Calif.
Eilish has a history of dating older men: She was previously in relationships with rapper Brandon “Q” Adams, who is five years her senior, from 2018 to 2019 and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, who is 10 years older, from 2021 to 2022.
