Billie Eilish splits with boyfriend amid cheating rumours

The singer’s boyfriend, actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, has confirmed the couple have split – but vehemently denied one rumour about their break-up.

Matthew Tyler Vorce confirmed this week that he and singer Billie Eilish have broken up, but he denied rumours circulating on social media that he cheated on her.

“Nobody cheated on anyone,” he posted on his Instagram Story. “Relationships end. Simple as that. Creating rumours and LYING on the internet is dangerous.”

The actor also hit back at Eilish fans who flooded his Instagram with cruel comments, Page Six reports.

“The fact that thousands of people take time out of their day to write the most heinous things on someone they will never know’s posts is the most cowardly thing you can do,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Live your own life,” he said.

Eilish hasn’t publicly commented on the split, and reps for the singer didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Page Six published exclusive photos of the Happier Than Ever singer, 20, and Vorce, 30, cosying up to each other during a coffee outing in April 2021. Vorce’s attachment to Eilish meant that he underwent scrutiny by her fans, which resulted in them resurfacing his racist social media posts. Shortly thereafter, he issued an apology for the comments.

“I want to apologise for the things that I wrote on social media in the past. The language I used was hurtful and irresponsible and I understand how offensive those words are,” he wrote in June 2021.

“Whether it was a lyric, a quote or just me being dumb, it does not matter.

“I am ashamed and deeply sorry that I used them in any context. It is not how I was raised and it is not what I stand for,” he continued.

“I shouldn’t have used this language in the first place and I won’t use it again. I am so sorry for the hurt I have caused.”

He ended: “I take full responsibility and continue to hold myself accountable for my actions.”
