In a new interview with “Chicken Shop Date” host Amelia Dimoldenberg, 22-year-old singer Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, 26, talked about superheroes. Eilish admitted that Bale in “The Dark Knight” is her favorite and credited the actor for helping her realize that her then-boyfriend wasn’t meeting her superhero standards. This revelation came from a dream she had about Bale in a cafe, which prompted her to break up with her boyfriend at the time. Eilish joked about the dream saying it made her come to her senses.
Billie Eilish has had her fair share of relationships in the public eye. She was previously involved with Jesse Rutherford of the Neighbourhood, which garnered attention due to their 10-year age gap. Eilish also dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, who was also 10 years older than her, but their relationship ended amid cheating rumors. Vorce later clarified on his Instagram Story that nobody cheated and that relationships simply come to an end. Recently, Eilish expressed her frustration with Variety for “outing” her on the red carpet after she publicly discussed her sexuality. She will be performing at the Oscars with her brother, Finneas, on March 10.
Implications of the Dream
Eilish’s dream about Christian Bale in a dreamy cafe setting in the sunlight turned out to be a turning point in her romantic life. Reflecting on the dream, she realized that her relationship with her then-boyfriend was not what she wanted. This realization prompted her to end the relationship and ultimately led to her “coming to her senses.” It’s interesting to see how a dream can have such a profound impact on someone’s decision-making and self-discovery.
Relationships in the Public Eye
Being a popular celebrity, Billie Eilish’s relationships often attract attention. Her involvement with Jesse Rutherford, despite the age gap, was marked by creative Halloween costumes that humorously played with their age difference. Similarly, her relationship with Matthew Tyler Vorce faced scrutiny due to their age difference and ended amidst cheating rumors. It’s not uncommon for relationships in the entertainment industry to face public scrutiny, but it’s important to remember that behind the media attention, these are real people dealing with the complexities of love and heartbreak.
Opening Up About Sexuality
Billie Eilish publicly addressed her sexuality in a November interview with Variety. However, she felt displeased with the way the media emphasized her revelation instead of focusing on her achievements and music. Eilish voiced her frustration on Instagram, expressing that her sexuality is not the only aspect of her identity and asking to be respected and not judged. It’s a reminder of the challenges that celebrities face when sharing personal aspects of their lives and the importance of providing support and understanding.
