AceShowbiz - FINNEAS has finally shared his thoughts on Billie Eilish's new relationship with Jesse Rutherford. In a new interview, the musician/record producer noted that he just wants his sister to be happier than ever.
Speaking to E! News at a GQ event for its Men of the Year issue on Thursday, November 17, the 25-year-old artist said, "Listen, as long as she's happy." The older brother of Billie further stressed, "I'm happy."
The "Love Is Pain" singer's comments arrived two weeks after Billie and The Neighbourhood vocalist made their red carpet debut at the 11th Annual LACMA Art + Film Gala at Los Angeles County Museum of Art on November 5. During the event, they put on a loved-up display while wearing matching designer pajamas.
Billie wore a sleeveless nightgown trimmed with lace and paired with a floor-length robe for the outing. Jesse, in the meantime, donned a shirt and pants in the same logo-covered silk. Both had on Gucci shoes as well, while the "bad guy" hitmaker completed her look with a monogrammed eye mask.
Billie and Jesse have known each other for several years but appeared to catch feelings this fall. Romance rumors between the two emerged after they were caught holding hands at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights on October 14.
Then earlier this month, Billie confirmed her relationship with Jesse by posting several pictures from her Halloween celebrations. One of the snapshots showed the 20-year-old chart-topping singer posing with her 31-year-old beau, where she dressed up as a baby in a colorful outfit and fluffy bunny sandals as well as heavy makeup with a bold pink blush.
Many believe that the couple chose the costumes to poke fun at trolls who criticized their age gap. "LOL, laughing so hard at the reaction to this. Everybody is calling him an old man and making billie into a baby, so," one person commented after their pictures were first published by Pop Crave on Twitter. Another added, "this is so f**king weird."
Despite facing criticism over her 11-year gap romance, Billie apparently received a stamp of approval from her parents. "She's fallen for him and vice versa. She has introduced him to her parents, and they think he is a total gentleman," a source spilled to HollywoodLife.com. "They believe that they complement each other well. They trust him and he is sincere and only wants to make sure she is happy."
