Billie Eilish has opened up about wanting to be a mom.
The 20-year-old star - who is currently on the UK leg of her world tour - chatted to The Sunday Times about her desire to one day have children, but also admitted that she's dreading the idea.
"[I would] rather die [than not have kids]. I need them," she told the paper.
She continued: "The older I get, the more I experience things, I just think, uuuugh, what am I going to do when my kid thinks that this is the right thing to do and I’m, like, no, it’s not! And they won’t listen to me."
Eilish reflected that kids always find their moms "annoying" - and that, growing up, she definitely felt that way about her mom Maggie.
However, she went on to say that she still has an enormous amount of affection for her own mother. "She is like a book, she knows everything, and I’m so grateful because I don’t know s*** about s***," the young star gushed.
Elsewhere in the interview, she noted that one of the fears of having kids in America would be the threat of school shootings. She touched on last month's devastating attack on an Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which left 19 students and two teachers dead.
"Why is it OK to be scared to go to school?" she said, adding: "You go to school and be prepared for a life-changing traumatic experience or dying. What? Who? Where is the logic there?"
Despite wanting children, back in 2020, Eilish opened up about not being able to visualize herself in a relationship with anyone.
Speaking to GQ at the time, she said: "It is so weird, but I don’t see it for myself. I know I will find someone eventually, but at the moment I can’t visualise it. I feel like I am a totally different person when I am with someone else. People just don’t do it for me."
The singer also opened up about having experienced heartbreak, saying: "All I ever wanted was a boyfriend. [...] And I couldn’t be further away from that. I’ve had my heart broken, sure.
"People have done some terrible s**t to me. The crazy s**t I have gone through. I have never felt powerful in a relationship. I did once and, guess what, I took advantage of that person’s kindness. I wasn’t used to it.
"It’s been months and I am not attracted to people anymore. I don’t know what’s going on... It’s actually kind of dope."
