On Wednesday, May 17th a source from inside the Billie Eilish team confirmed the breakup. “We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends,” they told Page Six. The former couple have more than a decade between them in age, and have not had the easiest time in the media and among fans because of this difference in age. 

The last time Eilish and Rutherford were seen together was in April at Coachella music festival in Indio, California. When the Met Gala rolled around this year, the Grammy award winning singer Eilish attended solo without Rutherford. 

The rumor mill about Eilish and Rutherford being a possible couple first started back in October of 2022, when the two were spotted locking lips outside of a restaurant in Los Angeles. This sighting came just a few days after they were seen together holding hands at Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Studios. Quickly after the gossip started churning, many fans took to social media to express their concern over their large age gap, as Eilish is 21 years old and Rutherford is 31 years old.
