Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford have called it quits.

“We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends,” the Bad Guy singer’s rep told Page Six.

Eilish, 21, and Rutherford, 31, have not been seen together since Coachella in April.

The former couple were seen keeping a low profile at the music festival in Indio, California.

Eilish then attended the Met Gala earlier this month without Rutherford.

The Lovely singer stunned at fashion’s biggest night in a sheer dress designed by Simone Rocha.

Later that night, Eilish was seen getting cosy with Love, Victor actress Ava Capri, who is queer, at an afterparty.

However, Eilish’s rep notes that any speculation about cheating is “false.” Reps for Rutherford did not immediately return request for comment.

Billie went Instagram official with Jesse for Halloween last year, with the couple poking fun at their age difference via their outfits.

Eilish and Rutherford were first romantically linked in October 2022 and went Instagram-official on November 1.

The musicians then made their red carpet debuts in wrapped in Gucci blankets at the LACMA Art + Film Gala later that month.

Eilish gushed about dating Rutherford at the time, telling Vanity Fair, “I managed to get my way to a point in my life where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f**king f**ker alive, but pulled his ass.”

In December 2022, the Happier Than Ever singer celebrated her 21st birthday with her new beau by her side.

The lovebirds were seen sharing several kisses in front of guests before a DJ told everyone to put their “motherf**king hands in the sky” and toast to the birthday girl.

In photos from the party, Rutherford was seen lovingly putting his arms around Eilish.

They were dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus for the holiday-themed bash.

Producer Finneas previously said of his sister’s age difference with the Sweater Weather singer, “Listen, as long as she’s happy, I’m happy.”

Prior to Rutherford, Eilish dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce. Rutherford, for his part, dated model Devon Lee Carlson from 2015 to 2021.
