Billie Eilish has seemingly confirmed her relationship with actor Nat Wolff, despite previously shutting down dating speculation.
It looks like the Grammy-winning musician and Wolff are officially more than just close friends.
After months of whispers and speculation, Eilish, 22, and the Naked Brothers Band alum, 29, were caught locking lips on a Venice balcony in a moment that all but confirmed the rumors.
In pictures obtained by Deuxmoi, the pair are seen toasting with champagne flutes before he leans in, holding her by the chin for a passionate kiss.
The 'Lunch' pop star, who had her hair flowing loose, looked cozy alongside Wolff, who wore a light gray T-shirt.
The couple's private celebration in Italy came after years of friendship, and more recently, quiet dating speculation.
The confirmation might be a soft launch, but it’s still a notable step for Eilish, who just months ago was adamant she wouldn’t be discussing her relationships or her sexuality ever again.
“I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever. And I hope that they never will again,” she told Vogue in late 2023. “And I’m never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I’m never talking about who I’m dating ever again.”
The 'Ocean Eyes' hitmaker's comments came after she inadvertently made headlines by revealing she was attracted to women during a Variety interview. At the time, she admitted: “I thought it was obvious,” and later added: “I guess I came out today… OK, cool.”
But the media frenzy that followed left her frustrated. In her interview with Vogue, she said the huge interest in her private life is so "unnatural,” and reflected on how she feels robbed of the same self-discovery and privacy afforded to others her age. “We’re all babies. We’re all little kids growing up and learning ourselves," she added.
Despite that, Eilish has never shied away from speaking about things that matter to her. In a joint interview with Nat’s brother Alex Wolff, who opened for her on tour, she said: “Your family is literally the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
The connection between Billie and the Wolff brothers runs deeper than friendship. In 2023, Alex revealed that he, Nat, and the 'Birds of a Feather' singer bonded over their shared experience with Tourette’s syndrome.
“We know all the ways that we try to mute ourselves or try and chill ourselves out or soften ourselves for other people, and how nice it is to not have to do that for certain people,” he told Variety.
Eilish also joked about their bonding experience in another interview at the time, saying: “My first real impression of you, when I met you, was at the Oscars after party, and I was sitting on the couch outside, and you just appeared.
“It was just like an immediate - I don't even know what we talked about, but it was an immediate - I was like, ‘Yo!’ “ she recalled.
