Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning singer, recently opened up about her reluctance to discuss her dating life and sexuality in the public eye. In a candid interview with Vogue, she expressed regret over revealing her attraction to women during a conversation with Variety’s The Power of Women issue. The “Bird of Feather” singer admitted that the attention her statements received online was overwhelming, emphasizing that she had not planned on coming out at that particular moment but decided to take a leap of faith.
Reflecting on the experience, Eilish shared, “I wish nobody knew anything about my sexuality or dating life. Ever, ever, ever. And I hope they never will again.” She firmly declared, “I’m never talking about my sexuality or who I’m dating ever again.” The young musician acknowledged the challenges of navigating fame and popularity while still figuring out her personal life. Previously linked to Jesse Rutherford from The Neighborhood, Eilish and the band member reportedly went their separate ways in 2022. She also had a relationship with actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, which was documented in her Apple TV+ film, “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry.”
Opening up about her interactions with the media, the Oscar-winning artist expressed, “We’re all babies. We’re all little kids growing up and learning ourselves.” In a previous interview with Elle, Eilish touched on the scrutiny surrounding her relationships, questioning why there was a double standard when it came to discussing men in her life. She emphasized her initial intention to create music without seeking attention for her personal life, highlighting the unfair pressure the internet exerts on individuals to disclose their identities.
On a professional note, Eilish recently unveiled her third studio album, “Hit Me Hard Hard and Soft,” in May 2024, garnering widespread acclaim and listenership across various countries. As she continues to navigate the complexities of fame and self-discovery, Eilish remains determined to maintain her privacy and focus on her artistry.
