Billie Eilish Opens Up About Romantic Vulnerability and Self-Discovery With Lana Del Rey
Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey recently had an in-depth conversation with Interview Magazine, where Del Rey posed some pointed questions, and Eilish provided candid responses.
“When one of your romantic relationships ends, do you think you leave them with a thousand questions? Or do they leave you with a thousand questions? Or is it split 50-50? Is it more dangerous to fall in love with you? Or is it more dangerous for you to fall in love?” Del Rey asked Eilish. In response, Eilish agreed that “50-50” was the most accurate answer.

She added that she doesn’t like the version of herself who is in love. Eilish, who was last linked to ‘The Neighborhood’ frontman Jesse Rutherford before their breakup, admitted she struggles with being romantically vulnerable.
“I really don’t like being—I was going to say out of control, but there are ways that I do like being out of control,” Eilish remarked, explaining that she has control issues and feels “uncomfortable” being vulnerable in a relationship. She also noted that she isn’t sure how many times she’s been in love, as she believes there are different versions of love.
In the interview, Eilish revealed that she has never been dumped or broken up with; instead, she’s always been the one to end her relationships.
She addressed the perception of her as a heartbreaker, explaining, “I think when people hear that, they’re like, ‘Oh, all you do is break hearts.’ Sure, but that doesn’t mean that people are totally innocent. It means that I was like, ‘Oh, let me get the f**k out of here.’ Or it means things just weren’t right.”
Eilish also discussed her recent coming out as queer, noting the surreal experience of the public discovering aspects of her identity simultaneously with herself. “I don’t even have a second to think about how it makes me feel,” she shared.
The conversation between Eilish and Del Rey offered an insightful glimpse into Eilish’s thoughts on love, control, and self-discovery.
