Billie Eilish Still Isn’t Queerbaiting
Billie Eilish doesn’t owe you an explanation
The two were seen getting cozy at the Met Gala afterparty a few weeks ago, and while Capri has been in a relationship with their best friend, the auteur Alexis G. Zall, for five years, it’s still pretty interesting timing. Also, in an interview from last year, the couple mentioned cheekily that they “love a third.”
Now there’s only one question on everyone’s mind: who is Ava Capri?
Fans will remember the “queerbaiting” controversy surrounding Eilish after her 2021 single “Lost Cause.” The video, which featured Eilish palling around with plenty of friends in a sapphic slumber party environment, was accompanied by an Instagram post which Eilish captioned: “I love girls.”
Now look, an arm around the should could be perfectly innocent. But it could also be perfectly gay. We’ll be breathlessly watching this story develop.
