Billie Eilish's ex Jesse Rutherford has awkward response after accidentally favoriting video of her

Jesse Rutherford has responded after he accidentally favorited a video of his ex-girlfriend Billie Eilish.

We've all accidentally liked something we shouldn't have and fans were quick to notice when Rutherford's TikTok account, @jesserutherford, appeared to favorite a video of Eilish, with one fan writing: "UMM.. JESSE...?"

While another said: "Liking the video is one thing but TO HIS FAVORITES?"

And a third said: "Not him lurking in the comments."

Eilish and Rutherford were initially romantically linked back in October 2022, with Eilish confirming their relationship with a post of their Halloween costumes, where she dressed as a baby and he went as an elderly man – seeming to hit back at the criticism of Rutherford being 10 years older.

Making their red carpet debut as an item, they wore Gucci pyjamas and shared a blanket over them at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in November 2022.

However, a year later and reps confirmed they had split to Page Six, saying: “We can confirm Billie and Jesse split amicably and remain good friends.”

In the past, Eilish has always spoken positively of Rutherford. Earlier in their relationship, she made a rare comment about being with Rutherford in an interview with Vanity Fair, saying she was ‘really excited and really happy’.

She said: “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***ing f***er alive, but pulled his ass.

“Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his ass – all me! I did that s***. I locked that motherf***er down.”

After favoriting the video, Rutherford actually commented to explain himself, revealing that he'd had a 'slip of the thumb'.

"Lol slippery ahh thumb," he wrote, which saw fans go wild.

One wrote: "Lmao 'slippery ahh thumb' is the weakest excuse ever."

While another said: "Classic 'slippery thumb' excuse. Jesse still out here accidentally hearting Billie content years later."

And a third added: "Slippery ahh thumb is the most creative 'I was just scrolling' excuse since 'my dog ate my homework'. We've all been there Jesse."
