While Rutherford is a 31-year-old, Billie Eilish will be turning 21 on 18 December, 2022. Some people are supportive of the relationship but others are having a hard time dealing with the age gap. In fact, people have taken to social media to discuss the relationship, and some have even likened it to Demi Lovato's song 29 from their 2022 album Holy Fvck.Fer |@FerWstan@leastfavorite_ Its giving 29 by demi lovato 92514@leastfavorite_ Its giving 29 by demi lovato 💀The lyrics to Lovato's song are quite similar to Eilish and Jesse's relationship. In 29 Demi talks about an illegal teacher-student relationship where the characters are aged 17 and 29. Although Billie and Jesse have just seemingly begun dating, it is worth noting that when the former was 17, the latter would have been 29.

They said that the age difference wasn't the issue, it was the fact that Jesse met Eilish when she was just a 16-year-old. This has led to fans being concerned that the Sweater Weather singer has been grooming Billie ever since.Grooming is an act committed by an adult wherein they befriend and establish an emotional connection with a minor with the objective of s*xual abuse.Fans of The Neighbourhood say they're losing respect for the lead singer and that it would be tough to listen to the band's music again. Users have been stating that someone should step in to help Eilish as "someone so public should not be this unprotected."natty@Iowkeyinurmindjesse rutherford being 31 dating 20yr old billie eilish is disgusting idc if it’s “legal” men are so disappointing624jesse rutherford being 31 dating 20yr old billie eilish is disgusting idc if it’s “legal” men are so disappointing℘@rhanyraeApparently Jesse Rutherford (31 years old) is dating Billie Eilish (20, whom he's known she was 15) I'm sorry but if they really are together then that's weird and there's a word for him that starts with g and ends with roomer1477147Apparently Jesse Rutherford (31 years old) is dating Billie Eilish (20, whom he's known she was 15) I'm sorry but if they really are together then that's weird and there's a word for him that starts with g and ends with roomerkristen (not stewart) says BOO!@lordesbbqribsjesse rutherford following the woody allen predatory blueprint aka watching a child grow up just to engage with her romantically once she’s legal. someone (brother/mother/literally anyone) needs to step in for billie, a person so public should not be this unprotected.73387jesse rutherford following the woody allen predatory blueprint aka watching a child grow up just to engage with her romantically once she’s legal. someone (brother/mother/literally anyone) needs to step in for billie, a person so public should not be this unprotected.Duck@duckystar437I’m happy for billie because she’s happy but also worried. she has idolized jesse since she was younger and they’ve been friends since she was 16 and he was 26. feels kinda like a grooming thing but hopefully not. #BillieEilish573I’m happy for billie because she’s happy but also worried. she has idolized jesse since she was younger and they’ve been friends since she was 16 and he was 26. feels kinda like a grooming thing but hopefully not. #BillieEilishJayardee⚜️@JayArDee6@bluehoodiebaby Please be fake please dont ruin the neighborhood for me106@bluehoodiebaby Please be fake please dont ruin the neighborhood for me🙏Samantha D’Shay 🕷✨💋@blue_seyJesse Rutherford is too old for Billie Eilish and it is made worse by the fact that he met her when she was barely 16.

I hope Billie knows what she’s doing :(Since becoming a celebrity, Billie Eilish has been tight-lipped about her previous relationships. She was previously linked to actor Mathew Tyler Vorce and rapper Brandon 'Q' Adams, neither of which she has confirmed.Jesse Rutherford famously dated model Devon Lee Carlson for seven years before they broke up in 2021.Neither Billie nor Jesse have made any statements regarding their relationship.
