Billie Eilish recently made a bold statement that she will no longer be discussing her personal life, particularly her sexuality and dating life. The 22-year-old singer faced backlash earlier this year for sharing candid comments about sex, but now she has decided to keep those aspects of her life private moving forward.
In a cover story interview for Vogue’s November issue, Eilish emphasized that she wishes no one knew anything about her sexuality or dating life, and she hopes it remains that way in the future. She expressed that she will not be talking about her sexuality or who she’s dating ever again.
This decision comes after Eilish received widespread media attention for opening up about sex and revealing intimate details about her experiences during an interview with Rolling Stone in April. She mentioned that discussing sex has been important to her, as she feels that it’s often seen in a negative light and that people are uncomfortable with women being open about their sexuality.
Eilish also discussed how self-pleasure has been a significant part of her life and has helped her cope with extreme body issues and dysmorphia. She candidly shared her journey of exploring her sexuality and discovering her attraction to women, which inspired a song on her latest album.
The singer admitted that she underestimated the impact her words could have and how they could be blown up into major news stories. Despite this, she is determined to keep her personal life out of the spotlight and focus on her music and career.
Eilish will be kicking off her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour, marking the first time she will be touring without her brother and collaborator Finneas O’Connell by her side. While O’Connell will join her on some tour stops, he believes that Eilish is ready to stand on her own and has developed a disciplined routine to ensure she performs at her best.
Having started performing at a young age, Eilish shared that she has experienced physical injuries over the years and faced challenges while being in the spotlight since her teenage years. Despite the difficulties, she now has a more positive outlook on touring and is focused on making the experience enjoyable for both herself and her fans.
As Eilish embarks on this new chapter of her career, she is determined to maintain her privacy and keep the focus on her music and performances. By setting boundaries around her personal life, she is taking control of her narrative and ensuring that she can continue to grow as an artist without unnecessary scrutiny.
