American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish`s brother Finneas O`Connell has stood up for his younger sister after she was criticized on social media for her relationship with The Neighborhood vocalist Jesse Rutherford due to their 10-year age gap.
According to People magazine, an American weekly magazine, a TikTok user reposted one of O`Connell`s TikToks and wrote, “Your sister`s dating a 31-year-old man and your music is s–ty.” Responding to this, Finneas commented, “I want my sister to be happy and safe and she is a 21-year-old adult perfectly entitled to make her own life decisions.”
Eilish made her relationship with Rutherford Instagram official with a photo of them in funny couple`s costumes on Halloween. The duo poked fun at their 11-year age gap with her dressed up as a baby, wearing a bib and bonnet, while he went as an old man. They made their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala 2022 in November. They wore coordinated Gucci pajama looks, reported People magazine.
The `TV` singer opened up about her relationship on November 28 in her latest Vanity Fair interview. “It`s really cool and I`m really excited and I`m really happy about it,” Eilish said of her relationship. She added, “I managed to get…to a point in my life…where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f—ing f—er alive, but pulled his ass! Are you kidding me? Can we just [get a] round of applause for me? Thank you, Jesse Rutherford, everyone,” as per People magazine.
