Billie Eilish on Coming Out: ‘I Didn’t Realize People Didn’t Know’

Billie Eilish has confirmed that she recently came out in her Variety Power of Women cover story, in which she first revealed her attraction to women. 

On the red carpet at Variety‘s Hitmakers event, Eilish shared that she didn’t intend to make a grand gesture of “coming out,” and was actually surprised by the public’s reaction to her comments. “I kind of thought, wasn’t it obvious? I didn’t realize people didn’t know. I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, why can’t we just exist?
