Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford have split after seven months of dating.
The singer, 21, and the musician, 31, confirmed they had parted ways ‘amicably’ in a statement to DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
A spokesman for Eilish said: ‘We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends.’
They also denied the relationship ended due to cheating and confirmed the pair were now both single.
Eilish and Rutherford were last seen together at Coachella in April.
The pair’s age-gap romance had sparked controversy due to Billie being the tender age of 20 and Jesse, 31, when they debuted their romance.
Billie and Jesse made their red carpet debut at the star-studded 2022 LACMA Art+Film Gala in November 2022.
Billie was first linked with Jesse, a vocalist for the Neighbourhood, when the two were spotted by a fan at Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in October 2022.

The creator uploaded a clip of the two walking closely together on TikTok, and added a caption to the post, ‘OMG I just saw Billie Eilish at Horror Nights.’
In the short reel, the stars appeared to be holding hands as The Neighbourhood band member led the singer out of a spooky-themed maze.
Although Jesse’s face wasn’t on display in the video, additional social media posts showed that he was at the park with not only Billie, but also her older brother, Finneas.
In the snap, Jesse was wearing a leather jacket which was similar to the one worn in the now viral TikTok video.
The Grammy winner also uploaded a post of herself posing in a bathroom, also taken at the busy amusement park.
Rumors quickly filtered through the internet, and the two were spotted enjoying a dinner date together at a popular LA restaurant called Crossroads Kitchen.
The American singer shared a kiss with Rutherford following another recent dinner date at Studio City restaurant La Mirch.
With her arms draped across his shoulders, Eilish was seen sharing an intimate moment with the singer as they made their way onto the street.
On December 18, 2017 a Jesse Rutherford fan account tweeted pictures of Billie and Jesse playfully posing up at a costume party together.

The tweet, which has resurfaced via TMZ, was originally posted on Billie’s 16th birthday when Jesse was 26 years old.
In October the pair were slammed over their ‘disturbing’ baby and old man Halloween costumes online.
Seemingly taking aim at critics of their age-gap romance, the singer dressed up as a baby, complete with a diaper and bonnet, while Rutherford sported a bald cap and wrinkled prosthetics in photos posted by Pop Crave.
In one snap, which was posted by Billie’s brother Finneas’ partner Ashe, the No Time To Die hitmaker wore doll-like make-up, a blonde wig, and an outfit emblazoned with teddies.
The pair have not posted about their costumes on social media but the ensembles were branded ‘sick and twisted’ by fans. The pair’s 11-year age difference, especially as he may have known her since she was a minor, has recently sparked backlash across social media.
In November 2022, the Bad Guy hitmaker gushed about ‘locking down’ Rutherford as she opened up about their relationship for the first time.
The Happier Than Ever songstress described her elation over dating Jesse whom she referred to as the ‘hottest f**king f**ker alive’, in an interview with Vanity Fair.

‘I just am really inspired by this person, and, you know, he’s inspired by me,’ she told the publication. ‘It’s really cool, and I’m really excited and I’m really happy about it.’
‘I managed to get my way to a point in my life where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f**king f**ker alive, but pulled his a**! Are you kidding me? Can we just [get a] round of applause for me?’
‘I pulled his a**! All me! I did that s**t! I locked that motherf**ker down!’
Eilish also addressed the scrutiny her relationship has come under.
‘Say what you need to say, but, like, I am in control right now. I did this,’ she told the publication.
Eilish also revealed her love language was physical touch as she detailed the attributes she needed in a relationship.
‘I just need to be touching skin, all the time. Touching, and cuddling, and hugging, anything skin related is really a big thing for me. And other than that, just freedom. You know, I don’t want to be controlled. I want to be trusted and I want to be able to have space and I want love and attention and equal admiration is really important.’
Eilish, who was previously in a relationship with Matthew Tyler Vorce in 2021, said she was ‘extremely grateful’ for the romance she had with Vorce.
‘I feel extremely grateful for the relationship that I was in last year and I think he’s f**king so much happier now, which makes me really happy,’ she said.
