Billie Eilish is, without question, one of the most talked-about teens in the entire
world.
In her music, she sings about her hopes, dreams, and fears - and of course, about falling in
love.
But what's the story on her real life situation?
Here's the truth about Billie's love life.
Eilish has openly dished about her first kiss.
And it definitely wasn't a good one.
She remembered a date where she went to see a movie with a boy, when she was just 13.
She told Howard Stern,
"He kissed me and then he said that was not as magical as I thought it was gonna be."
Oof.
To add insult to injury, the kid immediately left with his actual butler, leaving Eilish
stranded at the movie theater.
"His butler was there the entire time, but in a different movie theater."
"And he left and I was stuck there, no one told me that they were gonna leave."
But, as far as karma goes, Billie says,
"Dude is hella ugly now."
After Eilish regaled her fans with the "first kiss" story at a show in 2018, she name-dropped
the offending party - Henry Whitford - and then launched into a rendition of "My Boy."
But if you thought Eilish's fans would simply leave Whitford alone, you'd be sorely mistaken.
They hunted him down and dragged him on Instagram immediately following the show.
One user commented,
"Imagine kissing Billie Eilish and thinking it wasn't magical."
Another wrote,
"I'm laughing cause I thought I'd be one of the only ones to try and find the dude […] just
to see who he was but wowwww is this really the guy???"
Whitford now has over 26,000 followers, likely thanks to Eilish.
Maybe it's a silver lining.
It's pretty apparent in songs like "wish you were gay" and "My Boy" that Eilish knows what
it's like to have her heart broken.
"I just love pain.
I've always loved pain."
She told NME,
"When older people say, 'What do you know about things like love?,' I know more about
it than you do because I'm feeling it for the first time right now, whereas you haven't
felt that for a long time."
"I was like hard core…Bieber."
Having openly admitted her crush on Justin Bieber back in the day, Billie's fans often
confess to a deep emotional connection to her.
She revealed to The Guardian,
"People at my meet-and-greets have said: 'Billie, I feel the way you feel about Justin Bieber
about you,' and that blows my mind."
"Damn.
Come over.
Come over and let's write a song."
But Eilish doesn't want her fans to fall in love with her as she knows firsthand how devastating
that can be.
She added,
"I just feel bad because if that's actually true?
I'm sorry, bro.
I do not mean to be putting anybody in the position I was in.
That s--- hurts."
Before Eilish embarked on her 2019 tour, she was struggling with her success.
She told Rolling Stone,
"I just couldn't take the fact that I had to leave again.
It felt like an endless limbo.
Like there was no end in sight.
And, I mean, it's true: There really is no end in sight with touring."
According to The Guardian, touring can put a strain on any relationship, as it's difficult
to find quality time with a partner when you're constantly on the move.
But it also might be difficult for Eilish to prioritize romance right now, amidst the
demands of her career.
"Giving your all to someone, it's draining."
One thing that Eilish has been outspoken about is her commitment to a vegan diet.
She once posted a video that depicted the devastating treatment of livestock at the
hands of some cruel farm workers, writing on her Instagram Story,
"I keep my mouth shut most of the time about this because I believe everyone should do,
eat, and say whatever they want.
[…] But man […] if you can watch the videos that I just posted and not give a f--- that
it's YOU contributing by LITERALLY EATING the creatures that are being fully tortured
just for your pleasure, I feel sorry for you."
"Dude, animals bro.
I just don't understand the point."
Given just how morally important being a vegan is for Eilish, it seems pretty likely that
she would want her romantic partner to have the same views.
And the same probably goes for drugs and alcohol.
She told the Guardian,
"I have never done drugs, I've never [gotten] high, I've never smoked anything in my life.
I don't give a f---, I never have.
It's just not interesting to me.
I have other s--- to do."
"I'm not scared to walk away from something.
If it is not who I want to be."
