Billie Eilish said she likes "boys and girls."
Eilish nonchalantly discussed her sexuality in a cover story for Variety, which was published in November 2023.
Eilish described herself as "physically attracted" to women, adding, "I'm attracted to them for real."
The Grammy-winning singer did not use a specific label to identify her sexuality. Shortly after, Eilish attended the Variety Hitmakers event, where she was interviewed on the red carpet.
After describing women as "pretty," the interviewer asked if Eilish intended to "come out" with her cover story.
"No, I didn't," Eilish said with a laugh. "But I kinda thought, wasn't it obvious? Like it's kinda been... I didn't realize people didn't know."
"I just don't really believe in it," she added, referring to the concept of "coming out." "Why can't we just exist? I've been doing this for a long time and I just didn't talk about it."
After the event, Eilish struck a different tone on Instagram.
"thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters," she wrote in her caption. "i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please."
