Even Billie Eilish has her fair share of dating horror stories, because why should mere mortals have all the fun?
In the latest episode of the BBC podcast *Miss Me?*, the 22-year-old pop sensation dished to hosts Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver about her ghosting experience that would make even Casper blush.
“Yeah, I’ve been ghosted. For sure,” Eilish spilled. “In December, I had the ghosting of the century. It was wild.” Eilish, whose dating history includes rapper Brandon “Q” Adams, actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, and The Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford, continued, “This was the craziest ghosting I’ve ever experienced.”
“I was like, ‘Did you die? Did you literally die?’ ” Eilish quipped, recounting the incident. “I mean, we had a plan. Day of, on the phone, confirming everything—’Here’s my address, be there at 3.’ Then poof! Gone. Vanished. Houdini would’ve been proud.”
“And I was like, ‘What a f—ing little pathetic man. What a tiny little man,’ ” she vented, describing her disbelief. “It was literally unbelievable. To this day, the guy never texted me again.”
But wait, there’s more! Eilish saw that he moved on. “I saw he was dating someone else,” she revealed. “I was like, ‘Oh, so people still do that? Ghosting isn’t just for the high school drama club?’ Apparently, it is.”
Eilish also mentioned she’s still on good terms with her ex, Jesse Rutherford. “That’s my guy, truly one of my favorite people in the world,” she said. Their rep confirmed the split in May 2023 after less than a year of dating. Ah, young love.
In a *Rolling Stone* interview, Eilish joked about her dating future. “I plan on never dating again,” she said with the conviction of someone who just found out their favorite coffee shop is closed for good.
“Okay, that’s not true,” she admitted. “But really, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that makes me go ‘WOW!’ And right now, I’m more ‘meh’ about the whole thing.”
Eilish also got candid about her sexuality. Discussing her hit track “Lunch” from her *Hit Me Hard and Soft* album, she said, “That song was part of what helped me become who I am, to be real.” She continued, “I wrote some of it before doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after.”
“I’ve been in love with girls my whole life, but it clicked last year,” she shared with the kind of openness that makes you think, “She’s got guts.” “I realized I wanted my face in a vagina,” she concluded, because, why not leave us with a line that’s as bold as her hair colors?
Billie Eilish: ghosted but unbroken, sassy and sensational, navigating love like the rest of us—one ridiculous dating disaster at a time.
