Billie Eilish is certainly not afraid to speak her mind, and this time she's given a rare insight into her dating life.
The singer spoke out about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Jesse Rutherford in an unpublished excerpt from her interview with Rolling Stone, as well as revealing her future dating plans.
The pair were first romantically linked 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.

But this time last year, the ‘What Was I Made For’ singer's reps confirmed they had split to Page Six, saying: “We can confirm Billie and Jesse split amicably and remain good friends.”
And now, the 22-year-old has offered a rare insight into her relationship with The Neighbourhood frontman.
Speaking fondly of Rutherford, Eilish said: "That’s my guy, truly one of my favorite people in the world."
That just highlights the strong bond between the pair even if they are no longer romantically involved.
The singer seemed to indicate that she is currently single and she is not afraid to make jokes about her relationship status.
“I plan on never dating again,” the singer joked before adding: "That’s not true, obviously. But no, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me, and that is not interesting to me right now."
Earlier in the relationship, Eilish 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.”
Speaking to Variety last year, Eilish revealed her queer identity, saying: "I've never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people.
"I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real."
Eilish went on to say that she's 'physically attracted to women', but that she's also 'so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence'.
