Is billy ellish gay

After revealing she’s physically attracted to women in a recent interview with Variety, fans have been asking the same question: is Billie Eilish gay?

“Where’s that energy with men?”

Billie Eilish's third studio album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft," is less than a month away, and ahead of its release, the two-time Academy Award winner and nine-time Grammy winner is opening up about how the new project reminds her of her first album.

Eilish, 22, who released "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" in 2019, said working on "Hit Me Hard and Soft" has felt like "coming back to the girl that I was."

"I've been grieving her," she said in a cover interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday.

“I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl. I was never planning on talking about my sexuality ever, in a million years."

'I've had some scary things happen in my personal life'

Reflecting on her success over the years, Eilish also spoke about her level of fame and how she sometimes overthinks what she shares with the world.

"I feel like I've been beaten down to feel this way," she said.

“I saw the article, and I was like, ‘Oh, I guess I came out today!’ I just don’t really believe in [coming out]. I experience joy and laughter and I can find fun in things, but I'm a depressed person. I’m attracted to them as people. “I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life.

How was I supposed to have any experiences?"

By not enjoying life as a young adult and not going out, Eilish said it fed into her obsession with being perceived as "cool."

"That used to be a thing I would strive for," she said. The “Ocean Eyes” singer has been accused of queerbaiting in the past, with some critics citing her music video for her 2021 single “Lost Cause” for its suggestive scenes of girls lounging in bed together at a slumber party.

“Like, oh yeah, that’s everyone else’s business, right? I've suffered with a lot of depression my whole life. But I don't know, it really made me resentful of my life, when you can't even be in your own house."

The singer said that these realities of fame have led to struggles with mental health, saying that she experienced depression last year that was "realer than it's ever been."

"My whole life, I've never been a happy person, really," she said.

“I didn’t realize people didn’t know.”

“I’m still scared of [women], but I think they’re pretty,” she joked. Yeah, I’ll say whatever. I’ve never felt feminine,” she explained. "I've been a joyous person, but not a happy person. The 21-year-old singer attended Variety’s Hitmakers event on December 2, 2023, where she received the award for Film Song of the Year for her hit “What Was I Made For” from the Barbie movie.

“I’m like, why can’t we just exist? But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”

On the red carpet, she explained her comment wasn't really an announcement.

“I didn’t [know I was coming out], but I kinda thought, wasn’t it obvious?” she said of the anecdote.

I don't even want it to get better.'"

'I hit a turning point'

Eilish said her family, including her brother Finneas, and her best friend Zoe Donahue helped her cope with her depression, and despite the low points, she said she eventually "hit a turning point."

"I had this moment of like, 'Oh, my God, I haven't had fun in seven years,'" she told the outlet.

"I've been looking for her in everything, and it's almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. "Truly.
