The latest boyfriend drop came to visit the weekend, when paparazzi caught Eilish sipping champagne and smooching actor and singer Nat Wolff on a balcony in Venice, Italy.
Technically talking, the couple has not but confirmed that they’re in a relationship.
However after testing the pics, it’s fairly clear the “Lunch” singer will most likely not be spending Satisfaction Month, properly, consuming women for lunch.
In fact, the information despatched shockwaves by means of Homosexual Twitter X, the place followers each applauded and argued over what this says about Eilish’s sexuality.
Although to be truthful, the 23-year-old doesn’t owe anybody solutions, nor does she seemingly intend on giving any.
In an interview with Vogue last year, Eilish mentioned she wished “nobody knew something about my sexuality or something about my courting life.” She even vowed to “by no means [talk] about my sexuality” and “who I’m courting ever once more.”
Maybe it could’ve been a better tablet for the ladies, gays, and theys to swallow if the same scenario hadn’t performed out days earlier with JoJo Siwa and her new boyfriend Chris Hughes.
You may recall that the “Karma” singer (who as soon as claimed to have invented “gay pop”) made headlines again in April for a tense interplay with Mickey Rourke on the UK model of Celeb Large Brother.
Apparently, The Wrestler star requested Siwa, who was courting queer advocate and influencer Kath Ebbs on the time, if she was into boys or women and creepily assured her that if he “[stayed in the house] longer than 4 days, you received’t be homosexual anymore.”
He was later kicked off the present for “unacceptable” habits and language.
Issues took a flip after Siwa left the truth competitors, broke up with Ebbs at the show’s after-party, and commenced posting tons of pics with fellow Celeb Large Brother contestant, Hughes, greatest identified for his stint on Love Island.
Their relationship was made official on the primary day of Satisfaction Month, when Hughes shared a pic of Siwa cuddling in opposition to his naked chest with the caption, “Sleeepinnn magnificence.” LOL.
Days later, Siwa confirmed the relationship to The Guardian, including that she not identifies as a lesbian and now prefers the time period “queer.”
“There’s a whole lot of totally different sexual identities,” the 22-year-old defined. “I believe there’s nothing extra stunning than any person discovering themselves.”
One other one bites the mud!
In fact, JoJo’s sexuality switch-up was not almost as stunning as LGBTQ+ pop star Fletcher’s hetero relationship hard-launch, which arrived by way of tune.
Watch.
Mainly, the complete premise of her new single, “Boy,” which dropped on June 5, is that she’s scared to inform that world that she’s in love… with a person. (“It shocked me simply as a lot as anyone else,” she told Rolling Stone.)
Contemplating Fletcher, who’s at all times recognized as queer, rose to fame singing about her relationships with ladies in songs like “Becky’s So Scorching,” the observe instantly rubbed some followers the improper approach, primarily due to its Satisfaction Month launch.
Particularly, Freya Ev, who co-hosts The Lesbian Supper Membership podcast, criticized the discharge as “a calculated advertising and marketing transfer … designed to spark controversy and increase streams on the expense of the very neighborhood that helped construct Fletcher’s profession.”
“Queer ladies have spent years pushing again in opposition to the trope of ‘you simply haven’t discovered the correct man but,’” she wrote on her Instagram Tales.
“To strengthen that narrative now, in June, is a slap within the face.”
All issues thought-about, it’s a tricky time for some queer ladies who noticed their homosexual relationships mirrored in Siwa, Eilish, and Fletcher’s experiences.
However because the saying goes, “issues occur in 3s,” so perhaps it’s only a fluke, and the remainder of Satisfaction Month will likely be crammed with women and women and boys and boys!
If anybody is all the way down to get homosexual, it’s Miley Cyrus who wished followers a cheerful Satisfaction Month in a video performed at Dreamland.
Within the clip, the singer popped out of a closet and joked that she hasn’t “been in right here since sixth grade.”
Watch.
Earlier than signing off, she quipped that she was “going again inside to get extra pretzels, and discover JoJo Siwa and produce her again out.”
In fact, we must always acknowledge the irony of the entire scenario: Miley is in a relationship with a dude proper now too!
