Dear Reader...
Billie Eilish, an American singer-songwriter, and Actor Matthew Tyler Vorce have seperated.
Vorce, 30, confirmed that he and the “Happier Than Ever” singer, 20, had gone their separate ways while addressing rumors that he had cheated in a Monday Instagram Story.
Writing over a poster of A24's movie Men, the actor said;
“Nobody cheated on anyone. Relationships end. Simple as that. Creating rumors and LYING on the internet is dangerous,” he wrote.
Vorce appeared to address the backlash he has received from Eilish's fans in his comments in a separate Story, writing,
“The fact that thousands of people take time out of their day to write the most heinous things on someone they will never knows post is the most cowardly thing you can possibly do. Live your own life.”
Eilish and Vorce, who have appeared in horror films such as Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?, and Little Monsters, as well as a series of short films, first sparked dating rumors in April 2021, when they were photographed getting close on a coffee run in Santa Barbara, California.
In her Rolling Stone cover story that June, Eilish discussed how much better she felt after breaking up with her then-boyfriend Brandon Adams during her tour for When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
“I was thriving,” she said of that time. “I felt exactly like who I was. Everything around me was exactly how it was supposed to be. I felt like I was getting better. I felt happier than ever. And I tried to continue that.”
She also also spoke about how she was learning to live on her own.
"I didn't know how [to] before, which is ironic because I'd never been in a relationship that allowed me to truly exist with that person in the first place," she explained. "My emotions are always the result of someone else's, and that has been such a pain in the ass."
At the same time as Eilish's Rolling Stone cover was released, Vorce issued a public apology on his Instagram Story for previously using "offensive" language on social media.
“I want to apologize for the things that I wrote on social media in the past. The language I used was hurtful and irresponsible and I understand how offensive those words are,” he wrote. “Whether it was a lyric, a quote [or] just me being dumb, it does not matter.”
“I am ashamed and deeply sorry that I used them in any context. It is not how I was raised and it is not what I stand for,” he continued. “I shouldn’t have used this language in the first place and I won’t use it again. I am so sorry for the hurt I have caused. I take full responsibility and continue to hold myself accountable for my actions
Vorce's apology came after tweets and Facebook posts in which he allegedly used offensive language and slurs directed at Black and gay people went viral online.
