\n\tBillie Eilish<\/a> wasn\u2019t aware that a recent interview<\/a> would be perceived as a coming out story, but she\u2019s cool with it.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI didn\u2019t, but I kinda thought, wasn\u2019t it obvious?\u201d the pop star said to Variety<\/em> on the red carpet for the Variety Hitmakers Brunch, where she and brother Finneas were being honored with the film song of the year award for their Barbie<\/em> soundtrack tune \u201cWhat Was I Made For?\u201d on Saturday (Dec. 2). \u201cI didn\u2019t realize people didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the publication\u2019s Nov. 13 cover story<\/a>, Eilish had mentioned that she\u2019s attracted to women: \u201cI love them so much,\u201d she said. \u201cI love them as people. I\u2019m attracted to them as people. I\u2019m attracted to them for real \u2026 I\u2019m physically attracted to them. But I\u2019m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tEilish has only ever been in public relationships with men, most recently The Neighbourhood\u2019s Jesse Rutherford before their\u00a0breakup in May<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tSpeaking on the red carpet Saturday about the Variety<\/em> cover story and the concept of coming out, she casually said, \u201cI just don\u2019t really believe in it. I\u2019m just like, why can\u2019t we just exist? I\u2019ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn\u2019t talk about it. Whoops.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBut \u2026 I saw the article and I was like, \u2018Oh! I guess I came out today!’\u201d Eilish said with a laugh.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n\n
