I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it.”
Reflecting on Relationships and Breakup:
The singer, known for her openness, previously dated rapper Brandon Adams (7:AMP), a relationship featured in the documentary “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry.” Addressing their breakup, Eilish spoke candidly about not being happy and highlighted differences in their desires.
