Billie Eilish has been spotted holding hands with The Neighborhood singer Jesse Rutherford – and fans are divided over the possible new romance.
A fan posted a TikTok video of the couple leaving a haunted maze during Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on Friday that showed Eilish, 20, reaching out to grab the hand of Rutherford, 31, as they exited.
“OMG just saw Billie Eilish at Horror Nights,” the captioned fan wrote.
Although Rutherford’s face is not visible in the clip, he appeared to be wearing the same leather jacket in an Instagram Story shared by Eilish’s brother Finneas shortly after.
Two days later, Pop Crave Twitter Account shared a photo of the supposed couple eating together at a restaurant.
Eilish and Rutherford wore different outfits from their theme park date, signaling that they dated more than once.
Representatives for Eilish did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
After the video and photo surfaced online, fans began to debate on social media over whether the couple’s nearly 10-year age gap was inappropriate.
“Yes, they are adults, but 20 and 31 are not ALMOST in the same range of maturity… like a 20 year old is college age and a 31 year old is a mature adult,” one explained. Twitter user.
Another person jumped into the comments section of the TikTok video to write, “I love Jesse but it doesn’t sit well with me that she can’t even drink legally n he’s 31 no no no.”
A third person simply commented, “the age difference is killing me.”
Social media users also resurfaced a photo shared by a Rutherford fan account in December 2017 which showed the pair playfully posing at a costume party to emphasize that they had known each other for years.
At the time, Eilish was 15 while Rutherford was 26.
The “Happier Than Ever” singer has been tight-lipped about her love life over the years. She was previously linked to rapper Brandon “Q” Adams and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.
The “Sweater Weather” musician meanwhile dated model Devon Lee Carlson from 2015 to 2021.
