  • Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford have broken up after just seven months together.

  • "We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," a representative for Eilish told Page Six.

  • The pair drew controversy when they started dating because of their 10-year age difference.

Billie Eilish and her boyfriend, Jesse Rutherford, have broken up after less than a year together, Page Six has confirmed.

"We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," a representative for Eilish told Page Six.

It's unclear exactly when the couple parted ways, although Eilish did share photos with Rutherford on Instagram as recently as April. (Representatives for Eilish did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.)

The couple initially sparked dating rumors last October when they were photographed having dinner together. Their relationship drew controversy due to their notable 10-and-a-half-year age gap, Insider previously reported.

The couple even seemed to poke fun at fans' concerns by dressing up as a baby and an old man for Halloween.

Eilish opened up about their relationship in a video for Vanity Fair published last November, shortly before the seven-time Grammy winner turned 21.

When asked if she has a boyfriend, Eilish replied, "Yeah, I do. And it's really cool and I'm really excited and I'm really happy about it."

Eilish added that she has long admired the 31-year-old rocker and is proud that he even knows who she is.

"I managed to get my way to a point in my life, my life to a point, where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest fucking fucker alive, but pulled his ass," she said. "Are you kidding me? Can we just, round of applause for me?"

After Eilish took a moment to bow, she added, "Jesse Rutherford, everyone. I pulled his ass. All me. I did that shit. I locked that motherfucker down."

The two musicians met in 2017 when Eilish was 15 years old. She was an avowed fan of his band The Neighbourhood and had previously attended one of their concerts in Los Angeles.

She previously dated 31-year-old actor Matthew Tyler Vorce and 26-year-old rapper Brandon Quention Adams, whereas Rutherford split from influencer Devon Lee Carlson in 2021 after seven years of dating.
