Global pop sensation Billie Eilish, and her boyfriend, Jesse Rutherford, have reportedly ended their relationship, putting a cap on their love story that lasted for seven months.
Romance was often a topic of public discussion and raised eyebrows due to the substantial age difference between them and the disparity in their levels of fame.
Eilish, at just 21 years old, has already achieved unprecedented success in the music industry. Her records have consistently topped the charts, she has toured the world selling out concert venues, and her merchandise has seen exceptional sales.
In addition, her songs and music videos have also set streaming records on various platforms. Eilish’s success has positioned her as one of the world’s most influential and successful artists today.
On the other hand, Rutherford, the 31-year-old frontman of the band, The Neighbourhood, has enjoyed success but not to the same level as Eilish. Although The Neighbourhood has made a name for itself, its popularity has not matched the level of bands like Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, and Imagine Dragons, let alone other more established bands such as The Strokes, The Killers, Interpol, Coldplay, and Franz Ferdinand.
Given the circumstances, their relationship sparked quite a buzz, mainly because of the disparity in their public profiles. Many found it surprising that Rutherford, the leader of a band that does not enjoy the same mainstream success as Eilish, was in a relationship with the globally acclaimed singer.
According to various media reports, including Page Six, the decision to end the relationship was mutual. Despite their romantic separation, Eilish and Rutherford reportedly chose to part on amicable terms. They shared a final hug and promised to remain good friends for the rest of their lives, indicating that their relationship concluded on a note of respect and affection. This mature handling of their breakup exemplifies their respect for each other and the bond they shared during their time together.
