Some eagle-eyed fans spotted Billie Eilish hanging out, hand-in-hand, with Jesse Rutherford, The Neighborhood's vocalist, sparking romance rumors between the two.

A video of the two leaving a haunted maze at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights in Los Angeles was uploaded on TikTok and has garnered over 18 thousand likes, 400 comments, and 900 shares. It was captioned with "OMG I just saw Billie Eilish at Horror Nights."

It shows the 20-year-old singer reaching out for the hand of the 31-year-old vocalist, which prompted fans to question whether the two are romantically involved.

According to reports, Rutherford appeared in an Instagram Story posted by Eilish's brother, Finneas, wearing a leather jacket that he was seen sporting in the video.

Fans React

The news of Eilish possibly dating Rutherford has brought in a flurry of mixed reactions from the fans.

"I love Jesse, but it [doesn't] sit well with me how she's not even able to legally drink [and] he's 31. No, no, no," a fan commented with a bunch of crying emojis.

"Her Vs. not finding anyone her own age. She needs saving," another commented.

Some fans on the other hand were more enthusiastic about the prospect of the pair dating.

"[Okay], let's be [for real]. If y'all had a chance with Jesse, y'all would too," they wrote. "Let's not hate on her."

"My [two] favorite singers are dating?" A shocked fan commented.

Many pointed out the startling age gap between the two. Eilish is turning 21 in December, while Rutherford turned 31 in August. They have a 10-year-age gap between them, which caused some concerns to fans.

However, although some fans were concerned about the age gap, this is not Eilish's first boyfriend-or possible boyfriend-to be about a decade older than her. Vorce was born in 1991, the same year Rutherford was born.

New Love

Both singers have previous relationships prior to being spotted together. The "Ocean Eyes" singer dated Matthew Tyler Vorce for a year and ended things back in March.

According to reports, the two started dating around April of the previous year. But when they called it off, many speculated on the reason behind the split.

On the other hand, Rutherford dated Devon Lee Carlson in 2020, reports say.

Eilish and Rutherford have been seen together in August, reports say. And even then, fans have questioned their age gap. Several have pointed out that Rutherford has known the "Happier Than Ever" singer since she was 15 years old.

As of this writing, neither of the artists has confirmed their relationship.
