Jesse Rutherford is currently 31 years old, whereas Billie Eilish is 20 years of age. Recently, they both streamed on the internet to officially announce their relationship.
The couple’s relationship has received both love and criticism from fans on social media. They have faced significant criticism due to their considerable 11-year age difference.
Although having such a substantial age gap in a relationship is considered normal in the 21st century, some individuals still criticize the couple for their age difference.
Another couple that faced criticism for their marriage is the pairing of the Bollywood and Hollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra and her spouse, Nick Jonas.
Priyanka is 40 years old, while her husband, Nick Jonas, is 30 years old. They were ridiculed on social media during their marriage because Priyanka is a decade older than her husband.
Returning to the topic of Billie Eilish and Rutherford, some users expressed their concerns on social media, stating that “someone should assist Billie Eilish.”
One individual tweeted, “Jesse Rutherford at 31 dating 20-year-old Billie Eilish is repulsive, I don’t care if it’s ‘legal’, men are so disappointing.”
Others with neutral viewpoints about the couple have said,
“I’m happy for Billie because she’s happy, but I’m also concerned. She has admired Jesse since she was younger, and they have been friends since she was 16 and he was 26. Feels like some kind of grooming, but hopefully not. #BillieEilish.”
