Billie Eilish has the tendency to make headlines no matter what she does. Whether winning Grammys and Oscars, topping Billboard, becoming the singer of the year, or dating someone ten years older, Eilish always gets the world talking. The Ocean Eyes singer is often compared to another talented female artist who earned accolades far beyond her years, Taylor Swift. Being musical geniuses is not the only thing that unifies Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Eilish has often called T Swift an inspiration, but the Internet has quite a few jokes up its sleeve.

As soon as the now 21-year-old singer started roaming around with 10 years older music artist Jesse Rutherford, fans slammed their relationship. One particular user on TikTok decided to bring Eilish’s brother, who helps her with most of her music, saying, “Your sister’s dating a 31-year-old man, and your music is sh***y”. The video became viral enough for Finneas Eilish and a certified therapist to respond to it.

Given how everyone on the Internet has turned into a relationship expert after seeing Billie Eilish kissing Jesse Rutherford, who, if you missed the banner, is a whole decade older than her, Tammy Nelson, a certified therapist, has also shared her thoughts on the age gap and what it means in a relationship. As reported by Insider, the therapist said, ” a person’s personality, interests, maturity level, and circumstances could make them a fit for someone else regardless of age.” She further added

However, she also added that it could reveal differences in “humor, lifestyle choices, and hobbies, which could isolate partners.” As for now, Eilish and Rutherford look far from isolated if photos from the Grammy-winning singer’s 21st birthday bash are anything to go by.

Moreover, Billie Eilish even gave herself a pat on her back in her annual Vanity Fair interviews. “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****** f***** alive, but I pulled his a**,” said a love-struck Eilish.

Another therapist named Sarah Tick also told Insider that “knowing if a partner prefers staying in or partying with friends is another important consideration” again, if you look at photos from Eilish’s 21st birthday bash, Rutherford looked happier than her partying with iconic music artists. “An age gap is not a surefire sign the relationship is doomed,” the therapist said. While no one can say whether Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford will stay together forever, according to certified therapists, their decade-long age gap isn’t the first thing that will break them apart.
