While there was no reason provided for the split, the rep stated that the rumors of cheating from either side were "false" following social media circulation after Coachella in April.

Billie, 21, and Jesse, 31, were first linked in October 2022 after fans heavily speculated that they were dating after spotting them out and about together.

After subtly confirming the romance on Instagram on November 1, they made it official by attending the LACMA Art and Film Gala less than a week later with Jesse by her side.

Playing into the conversation surrounding their 11-year age gap, the bad guy singer was dressed as a baby for Halloween in her social media confirmation post, while the alt-rocker transformed into a much older man.

In November, in an interview with Vanity Fair, the singer gushed about her relationship with Jesse, who is the lead vocalist of the band the Neighbourhood.

"It's really cool and I'm really excited and I'm really happy about it," she said, before joking: "I managed to get…my life to a point where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest [expletive] alive, but pulled his [expletive]! Are you kidding me? Can we just [get a] round of applause for me?"

She continued: "My love language is just physical touch. I just need to be touching skin all the time. Touching and cuddling and hugging, anything skin-related is a big thing for me."

Billie added: "Other than that, freedom. I don't want to be controlled. I want to be trusted and I want to be able to have space.

"I want love and attention. Equal admiration is really important. I just am really inspired by this person, and he's inspired by me. It's really cool."

Jesse, who is known for the hit "Sweater Weather" with his band, was also part of a big moment in Billie's life, that being her big 21st birthday bash, which she celebrated while on stage at Inglewood, California's Kia Forum in December.

She was performing the final concert of her three Hometown Encore shows, when she was surprised with a cake brought by her brother, fellow musician Finneas, and her boyfriend.

She later shared photographs from a star-studded party she held later on, surrounded by close musician friends like Doja Cat and Lil Nas X, with Jesse right by her side.
