The star sparked mixed reactions among fans and beyond, when she was spotted with Jesse Rutherford over the weeknd on multiple occasions.

The two, who are eleven years apart, have known each other since at least 2017 according to fans. Billie split from ex-boyfriend Matthew Tyler Vorce earlier this year, and the Sweater Weather singer devastated fans when they learned he had split from longtime girlfriend Devon Lee Carlson in 2021 after six years together.

Per images obtained by TMZ, the two got together for a vegan dinner at Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 13.

Some days after their dinner, a video on TikTok revealed the two had gotten together yet again, and captured them holding hands.

The clip sees the rumored couple walking out of Universal Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights, with Jesse leading the way as Billie reaches out to grab his hand. They were with her older brother and collaborator, Finneas.

Some who are fans of both The Neighborhood, Jesse's band, and Billie, are into the supposed romance, while others aren't convinced due to the age gap between the two, with the Stargazing singer having known the popstar since she was fifteen, plus some fans say they are still rooting for him and his ex, who some found an iconic pair.

Fans had a lot to say about the news, with some expressing their dislike over the idea, as others questioned whether it was appropriate, and some insisted they'd prefer him to still be with his ex-girlfriend.

However, some defended her by arguing: "If she's happy, let her be," and: "So what? She can date whoever she wants," as well as: "She's an adult and old enough to make her own decisions."
