Spotted: Billie Eilish getting preeetty cozy and cuddly with a guy while they were our walking her pit bull, Shark.
Is this a legit new couple alert?
Over the weekend, the “I Think Therefore I Am” singer was snapped going on a stroll with actor Matthew Tyler Vorce around Santa Barbara, California.
In photos of published by Page Six, the two were photographed grabbing coffee and taking Billie’s pooch for a walk. At one point, Matthew put his arm around Billie, and she rested his head on his shoulder.
Hmm…
So, who is Matthew, a.k.a. the guy Billie hung out with last weekend?
According to his Instagram profile, he’s an actor, writer and degenerate (hoping he’s totally joking about that last one) based in Los Angeles. He’s also a podcast host for iHeartMedia’s new horror podcast Searching For Putty Man. That’s all the public can see for now, because, according to Page Six, he made his Instagram private on Monday (April 19).
A quick search on his IMDB profile also revealed that he’s been in a few films – including the TV movie Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?; and, most recently, in a short called The Curse of Frank Sinatra.
Now, here’s a big one: There’s a theory going around that he may be Billie’s “first love.” Fans are also speculating that he may have made an off-screen cameo in Billie’s documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry – that scene where Billie gets a call after her sweep at the 2020 GRAMMYs. She told the camera that it’s her “first love.”
Of course, there’s no actual proof that Matthew is the guy on the other end of that call – but, if ever it was him, that would mean these two go way back.
Billie’s known for keeping her personal life on the DL – remember how we only found out that she had a boyfriend, Brandon “Q” Adams, through her documentary? Well, it looks like neither she nor her team will be confirming this maybe-romance anytime soon – Page Six also says that her reps haven’t responded to requests for comment.
As for Billie’s former flame, she opened up about Q and their relationship – and subsequent breakup – during her documentary.
“I just wasn’t happy, and I didn’t want the same things he wanted, and I don’t think that’s fair for him. I don’t think you should be in a relationship super excited about certain things that the other person couldn’t care less about,” she said of their 2019 breakup. “I don’t think that’s fair to you. I didn’t think that was fair to him. And there was just a lack of effort, I think. I literally was just like, ‘Dude, you don’t even have enough love to love yourself. You can’t love me, dude. And you don’t. You think you do.’”
Q reportedly fully addressed the now-public breakup on social media, saying, “Sometimes people disagree and don’t want the same things as one another. It’s on you to understand there’s several points of view to a situation. Anyone who knows me knows where my heart is. I stay with a smile on my face even when I’m hurting. We push through the pain. [No love is ever lost.] But I refuse to be bashed.”
And, Billie seemingly supported him on that front by telling her fans “to be nice to people no matter what!”
