Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford’s relationship has raised many eyebrows, but no one is happier than Eilish herself.
The couple has been seen going on dates and even making a red carpet appearance for several months, but they have not confirmed or denied their relationship.
But, for the sixth year in a row, the 20-year-old singer was interviewed by Vanity Fair, and she was not afraid to declare her love for her new beau.
When asked if she was in a relationship, she replied:
“I feel extremely grateful for the relationship that I was in last year. I think he’s so much happier now, which makes me really happy.”
She finally answered:
“Yeah, I do. And it’s really cool, and I’m really excited and really happy about it.”
“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**kin’ f**ker alive, but pulled his ass.
“Are we kidding me? Can we just. round of applause for me? Thank you. Jesse Rutherford, everyone. I pulled his ass, all me. I did that s**t. I locked that motherf**ker down.”
In another segment of the interview, Eilish was asked what makes her happy in relationships, to which she simply replied with her love language.
She said:
“My love language is just physical touch. Just need to be touching skin all the time. Touching, cuddling, hugging, and anything skin related is a big thing for me.”
This was clear in the months leading up to her confirming her relationship with the Neighbourhood singer. They were first seen holding hands as they exited a Halloween ride on Halloween.
They then appeared on the red carpet wearing what appears to be sleepwear, with a Gucci blanket wrapped snugly around them.
Rutherford and the “Happier Than Ever” singer have known each other for quite some time, even before they started dating.
They date back to 2017, when Eilish was 15 years old, according to Seventeen. The couple’s age difference has also caused some consternation, as Rutherford is 11 years older than Eilish.
However, it appears that Eilish isn’t concerned with her age; she appears to be content with her new relationship and determined to keep the haters at bay.
