Billie Eilish confirmed that she and Jesse Rutherford are still on good terms despite going their separate ways three months ago.

“Very very good friends only 🫀 my homie forever 🫂,” the “Bad Guy” singer wrote when a fan asked her about Rutherford via Instagram Saturday.

However, when asked by another fan if she was dating anyone at the moment, Eilish wrote in all caps, “NO SIRRRRRRR 😁😁😁”

The “Neighbourhood” singer, 31, and the “What Was I Made For” actress, 21, dated for about six months before Eilish’s rep confirmed to Page Six in May that the two decided to end their romance.

“We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends,” their rep told us at the time.

The former couple was first romantically linked in October 2022 after a fan shared a TikTok video of the two holding hands as they left a haunted maze in Los Angeles.

They later went Instagram official on Nov. 1, making a jab at their 10-year age gap.

In the since-edited post, Eilish included a Halloween photo of herself dressed as a baby next to her then-beau, who was costumed as a senior citizen.

In an interview with Vanity Fair the following month, Eilish gushed over Rutherford, sharing with the mag that she was “really excited and really happy” with him.

“I managed to get my way to a point in my life where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f–king f–ker alive, but pulled his ass,” she added.

The two packed on the PDA across Hollywood during their six-month romance, including a red carpet debut in November in which the two coordinated Gucci pajamas for the event.

However, rumors that Eilish and Rutherford’s romance was heading for the door came when the “Lovely” singer appeared at the 2023 Met Gala in May without the “Sweater Weather” crooner by her side.

While Eilish has made it known to her fans that she is out of the dating scene, it is unclear if Rutherford is dating or also taking a break from romance.
