Singer Billie Eilish has spoken candidly about being attracted to women and opening up about her sexuality.
Billie Eilish talked about her gender identity and attraction towards women in an interview with Variety. “I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life.” she said by adding, “I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”
She added that she has never really felt like she could relate to girls very well. “I love them so much as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real… I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you,” she clarified.
“I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine. I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl. I identify as ‘she/her’ and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl,” Billie asserted.
Eilish said that she has faced a great deal of scrutiny surrounding topics like her sexuality and dating history, which she told Variety has been ‘upsetting’ as she has been relatively private about her personal life in the past.
The singer was last linked to Jesse Rutherford of the band The Neighbourhood in October 2022. However, after eight months of dating, a source confirmed in a 2023 report by People that the two had split between May, but noted they ‘remain good friends’.
Before that, she has reportedly dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce for a little over a year from April 2021 to May 2022. She had also opened up about dating and breaking up with Brandon Adams.
