Billie Eilish's brother Finneas reacts to her relationship with Jesse Rutherford

Billie Eilish 's brother Finneas O'Connell has given his blessing to her relationship with Jesse Rutherford.

The singer gave his take on their romance as he took to the red carpet at the GQ Men of the Year party in West Hollywood when he was quizzed about his little sister finding love.

Finneas seemed to be stoked for his sister as he answered questions and admitted his happiness for her and the Neighbourhood frontman.

The Grammy Award winner appeared to have no reservations about the 11-year age gap between the pair either as he gave his opinion.

Talking to E! News he said: "Listen, as long as she's happy, I'm happy."

Billie, 20, and 31-year-old Jesse made their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala 2022 earlier this month stepping out as a coupe for the first time after weeks of rumours about them dating.

The pair wore matching Gucci pyjamas for the event and even wrapped up cosy in a Gucci blanket as they posed for photos together.

Billie's look featured a floor-length nightie and a sleeping mask styled into her hair, while Jesse donned pyjamas with fluffy slippers.

On Halloween, Billie made their romance Instagram official when she posted a picture of them in their costumes as she wrote in the caption: "Life is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy."

Prior to confirming their relationship, the pair had been seen enjoying each other's company at places including Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles, as well as being spotted kissing at the popular Indian eaterie Lal Mirch.

Prior to dating Jesse, Billie was linked to actor Matthew Tyler Vorce and rapper Q, who fans saw her speaking about during her Apple TV+ documentary in 2021

Finneas' is back on the red carpet just over a month since he admitted on Instagram that he had crashed his electric bike leading to nasty injuries to his collarbone and his right elbow.

The producer revealed that the injuries had resulted in him needing to undergo surgery to have metal plates inserted in his collarbone and that he would also require physical therapy in order to get better.

He said: "Last Friday, I had the pleasure of crashing my electric bike, flying over the handlebars and absolutely demolishing my collarbone as well as sustaining a radial head fracture to my right elbow. The severity of the displacement of my collarbone meant I required surgery which I am now on the other side of and I’m feeling great! I want to give an enormous thank you to Dr. Brian Lee who performed the surgery, Dr. Neal Elattrache and everyone at Kerlan Jobe for their incredible treatment.

"I feel so privileged to have received. I’d also like to thank Jonathan Erb PT for guiding me through the treatment process as well as the ongoing process of physical rehab I now face. I also want to thank my family for their support and love, and most of all Claudia for dropping everything to take care of me the second this happened. She has been an Angel through all of this.

"I’m told with hard work, I’ll be able to play Billie's forum shows come December which I am so grateful for. As foolish as I felt after the fall, my prevailing emotion is gratitude. You see, I was not wearing a helmet. Lesson forever learned. I feel so lucky to still be here. Take care of yourselves, thank your bodies for all that they do for you. See you all again soon."
