Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford are once again thrust into the spotlight as one of the most eyebrow-raising celebrity couples, but this time, for a completely different reason.
According to reports, the couple has broken up after seven months of dating, and some rumors about The Neighbourhood singer cheating have been circulating the Internet.
"We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," confirmed a rep for the "Happier than Ever" singer.
However, they also denied that there was a third party involved that led to the breakup, "All cheating rumors are false. Both are currently single."
Controversy
This is not the first time the former couple has been wrapped in controversy in the course of their relationship.
In fact, when they first began going out on dates, fans and netizens began pointing out Eilish and Rutherford's age gap.
They once addressed the criticism by sharing their Halloween costumes on social media. Eilish was dressed as a baby wearing a pink bonnet, while Rutherford sported a bald head.
According to the Insider, netizens were disgusted to find out that the frontman is 10 years her senior, and on top of that, he has been friends with Eilish and her brother Finneas long before the relationship, back when she was a minor.
Finneas, however, did not see anything wrong with the relationship and age gap, and had this to say, "I want my sister to be happy and safe and she is a 21-year-old adult perfectly entitled to make her own life decisions."
Cringey?
Perhaps now that Eilish and Rutherford have broken up, the "Ocean Eyes" singer might find her own actions a little bit cringey when she looks back at the times she gushed about the newly-formed relationship.
The singer proudly boasted about her then-boyfriend during her annual Vanity Fair interview.
The relationship was fresh off its heels, and the couple was seen everywhere-in amusement parks, restaurants, red carpets, and everywhere in between.
"It's really cool, and I'm really excited and I'm really happy about it," Eilish excitedly shared.
I managed to get my life to a point where I not only was known by a person "that I thought was the hottest f**king f**ker alive, but pulled his ass!
"Are you kidding me? Can we just [get a] round of applause for me ... thank you, Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his a**. All me. I did that s**t."
