Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford, lead singer of The Neighborhood, end their relationship

(CNN) — Billie Eilish looks to the future after ending her relationship with singer-songwriter Jesse Rutherford.

A rep for the 21-year-old Eilish confirmed to CNN in a statement Wednesday that the “Happier Than Ever” singer and Rutherford have broken up.

“We can confirm that Billie and Jesse parted amicably and remain good friends. All cheating rumors are false. Both are currently single,” the statement read.

The couple first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted kissing at a Los Angeles restaurant in October 2022.

At the time, Eilish had yet to confirm her romance with The Neighborhood frontman and vocalist, but they later went public with their relationship in November, when Eilish and Rutherford attended LACMA’s Art+Film gala and posed together at the Red carpet.

Following her red carpet debut, Eilish told Vanity Fair that despite criticism over their age difference (Rutherford is ten years her senior), her relationship with the musician is “really great and I’m so excited and happy about it.”

She also told the outlet that she loved being able to initially catch Rutherford’s attention, and that in a relationship she values ​​freedom.

“I want them to trust me and I want to be able to have space and I want love and attention,” she said then, adding that she feels “equal admiration is really important.”
