Talented singer and songwriter Billie Eilish was the topic of conversation when she spoke openly about her sexuality and her “coming out of the closet”.
While she doesn’t refuse to talk about it, she believes it was obvious.
In the November issue of Variety, Eilish shared details about her sexual orientation and her attraction to women, marking a significant moment in her career and personal life.
“I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them really…I’m physically attracted to them, but I’m also very intimidated by them, their beauty and their presence,” she said at the time.
Ellish thought it was “obvious”
At a subsequent event, Variety’s Hitmakers, Billie Eilish again found herself in the spotlight, but this time to address the public’s reaction to her revelation.
The young artist expressed surprise at the responses, noting that she felt her sexual orientation was “pretty obvious.”
“I thought Wasn’t it obvious? I didn’t realize people didn’t know,” she said.
“I don’t really believe in that. I wondered: why can’t we just exist? I saw the article and I thought, ‘Oh, I think I came out today [of the closet].’
“I just don’t believe in [coming out of the closet]. I’m wondering: why can’t we just exist?
“I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it, But it’s exciting for me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s great that they know.”
Of her romantic relationships, Eilish dated rapper Brandon Adams, a romance that was featured in the documentary “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry,” but she said she was unhappy with him.
She then dated Jesse Rutherford, the lead singer of The Neighborhood, who she dated for about seven months.
