Billie Eilish publicly confirmed her new relationship with musician Jesse Rutherford during a notable display of affection in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, ending weeks of speculation about her romantic life.
The American singer shared a kiss with Rutherford after a dinner date at Studio City restaurant La Mirch, where she had previously shared photos of them enjoying an Indian meal.
With arms around each other, Eilish, 20, and the 31-year-old singer, known for his work with rock band The Neighbourhood, shared a tender moment as they walked onto the street.
Eilish appeared elated as the couple walked arm in arm, exchanging kisses along the way, and eventually departed in a modest VW Beetle.
She maintained her signature edgy style, sporting an oversized denim jacket, baggy shorts, and plaid Converse sneakers, while Jesse opted for a casual navy and white striped top, grey trousers, and white plimsolls.
The evening marked their second date in as many days, following a cozy pasta dinner the day before. Speculation about their relationship began when they were spotted holding hands at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights.
Their first dinner date was at Crossroads Kitchen, a vegan restaurant with investments from Kourtney Kardashian’s husband, Travis Barker.
Eilish wore an ornate embroidered nᴜde top and drop earrings, while Jesse donned an elegant black and off-white blazer.
Rumors intensified when a fan posted a video seemingly showing the couple holding hands, and Jesse appeared in an Insta Stories post from Billie’s brother Finneas. However, neither Eilish nor Jesse has publicly addressed the speculation.
Social media discussions about their 11-year age difference have ensued, particularly given their potential association since Eilish was a minor. Photos from a costume party in 2017 resurfaced, showing the pair playfully posing together when Eilish was 16 and Jesse was 26.
Eilish, known for her discretion regarding her personal life, has previously expressed a preference for privacy in relationships.
She has not commented on the latest rumors. Jesse, frontman for The Neighbourhood, previously dated model Devon Lee Carson, though reports suggested they split last year.
