As a fan who has been following Billie Eilish’s journey since her debut, I must say that I respect and understand her decision to keep her personal life private, particularly regarding her sexuality. The young artist has grown up under intense scrutiny, with every aspect of her life being put under the microscope. From her body to her fashion choices, Billie has faced criticism and judgment from all corners, and it’s heartening to see her reclaiming her privacy and autonomy.
In 2021, Billie Eilish has been associated with two songs that resonate strongly within the LGBTQ+ community – “Lunch” from her latest album and “Guess,” a collaboration with Charli XCX. Although she currently serves as a musical advocate for this group, Billie Eilish stated in a recent interview that she will no longer discuss her personal sexuality publicly.
No, Billie Eilish Doesn’t Want To Talk About Her Sexuality
Billie Eilish’s latest Vogue feature showcases her with blonde locks once more on its cover, prompting her to reflect on her conversation about her sexuality from almost a year ago, and she expresses some remorse about it. To quote the artist herself:
I prefer to keep my personal matters, particularly regarding my sexuality and romantic relationships, private. I hope this remains a secret for all eternity, and I won’t discuss these topics in the future either. Unfortunately, I sometimes overlook the potential impact of my words, and it seems they can become major headlines unexpectedly.
Over the last few years, I’ve found myself right in the thick of it when it comes to my personal life, particularly with regard to my relationship with Jesse Rutherford from The Neighbourhood. There was quite a stir due to our age difference, and we faced a lot of criticism before parting ways in May 2023.
How Billie Eilish Was Outed On A Red Carpet
In November, Eilish told Variety she was attracted to women while promoting the Barbie movie before being asked about it on a red carpet for the publication’s Hitmakers award show where she won Film Song of the Year. During the red carpet interview, she said she “didn’t realize people didn’t know” before saying she doesn’t really “believe in” coming out before asking “why can’t we just exist?” After the event she wrote this on her Instagram:
I appreciate your diversity for bestowing the award upon me, and for bringing up my appearance on the red carpet at eleven in the morning rather than discussing more significant topics. However, I kindly ask you to refrain from questioning my personal preferences regarding gender, as it seems irrelevant and unimportant to many.
I had no intention of discussing my sexuality for eons, but it seemed like the entire world was quick to define me without giving me a chance to voice my identity or make my own decisions about it. No one should be compelled into conforming to a specific label, and I believe there’s an excessive focus on categorizing people in today’s society.
Even though popular figures such as Billie Eilish are currently receiving much attention for advocating within the LGBTQ+ community, it’s entirely appropriate for the singer to maintain privacy regarding her personal life. Growing up under the public eye and dealing with a multitude of opinions about various aspects of her life, from her physical appearance to fashion choices, she has chosen to concentrate on her music. In the past year, she has been seen as an icon within the queer community, but it’s not obligatory for her to discuss her sexuality or romantic relationships with others.
Billie Eilish is currently touring across North America for her album titled “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” which kicked off last week in Canada. She’ll be performing her music throughout North America until the end of 2024, after which she plans to visit Australia and Europe during the first half of 2025.
