Superstars also fantasize – about other superstars, for example. This is what happened to singer Billie Eilish a few years ago. Your object of desire: Christian Bale. The dream of the “Batman” actor is apparently so intense that Eilish then breaks up with her boyfriend.
Christian Bale was once the indirect reason for Billie Eilish's breakup with a boyfriend. The singer revealed this in an interview with brother Finneas O'Connell and “Chicken Shop Date” presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg.
The conversation, which was recorded with the two nominated siblings in the run-up to the Oscar ceremony, initially focused on the topic of superheroes. “Batman” is her favorite, even if she doesn’t know much about superheroes, explains Billie Eilish. She even broke up with an ex-boyfriend because of him.
The reason was a dream. “A few years ago I dreamed of Christian Bale,” said the musician (from minute 1:15 in the video). “We were in a little cafe in the sunshine and I realized I had to break up with my then-boyfriend. I woke up and came to my senses.”
Billie Eilish did not reveal who her ex-boyfriend was. Her last publicly known relationship was with The Neighborhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, who was ten years her senior. The couple's separation became known in May 2023. She was previously in a relationship with actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.
