Billie Eilish, the singer-songwriter, has been a victim of pregnancy rumors multiple times, and just like before, it is also a baseless rumor.
Key Takeaways
- Billie Eilish’s pregnancy rumors have no credible sources.
- The rumor stems from a recent YouTube Shorts reupload of a 2023 video clip where her brother jokingly claims Billie is pregnant during a duet concert.
- This isn’t the first time Billie was rumored to be pregnant.
Billie Eilish’s pregnancy rumors have no credible sources as the singer or her team has confirmed the speculation.
The confusion stems from a video clip from mid-2023 in which, during a duet performance in one of their concerts, Billie’s brother, Finneas O’Connell, jokingly says, “Billie is pregnant!” which was met by claps and cheers from the audience.
Following Finneas’s joke, Billie quickly replies, “No! Why would you say that?” and then playfully slaps him in the arm.
She then clearly states, “I’m not pregnant, guys.“
The clip is clearly a joke and an example of the playful banter between siblings.
Originally posted in August 2023, the video reached TikTok’s ‘For You’ pages of many of her fans, making the term “Billie Eilish Pregnant” viral.

Another reason behind the recent rumors of her pregnancy is the same video clip, this time posted as a YouTube short by the channel @billieswrld, in which the narrator intentionally removes context in a misleading way.
Instead of portraying the video truthfully as playful trolling between the siblings, the narrator instead says,

Billy Eilish is pregnant because while she was talking to her fans, she kept making fun of her brother the whole time. And after a while of her brother thugging it in, he eventually had enough. So he revealed Billy Eilish’s biggest secret in front of thousands of people.
The video was intended not to inform but to garner attention and views regardless of the consequences of intentionally spreading misinformation online.
Unsurprisingly, this isn’t the first time Billie Eilish has been rumored to be pregnant.
In June 2022, following the 94th Academy Awards, in which Billie Eilish wore a custom ruffled black Gucci gown, rumors of her pregnancy quickly followed, overshadowing her and her brother’s win for Best Original Song for her James Bond theme song, “No Time to Die.”
The rumors were fueled by fans who speculated that Billie’s big ruffled gown was her attempt at hiding her baby bump and claimed that Billie “kept holding her belly.”
At the time, Billie was dating actor Matthew Tyler Vorce.
While the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has expressed her intention to have children at some point in her life, claims of her pregnancy as of now are baseless and just rumors.
In an interview with The Times UK, Billie said,
I would rather die than not have kids. I need them. The older I get, the more I experience things, I just think, what am I going to do when my kid thinks that this is the right thing to do and I’m, like, no, it’s not! And they won’t listen to me.
