Billie Eilish has confirmed she is attracted to women but feels ‘intimidated’ by their presence in a candid new interview with Variety.

The singer, 21, who split from Jesse Rutherford, 31, in May, spoke about her Sєxuality, body image and why she has ‘never really felt desirable’ as she reflected on her transformation into a global superstar.

She said: ‘I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.

‘I’ve never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine. I have to convince myself that I’m, like, a pretty girl. I identify as she/her and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl’.

She added that she ‘never really cared’ about being Sєxualised because she ‘never felt desired or desirable.’

Last month many of Eilish’s fans were left raging over a ‘gross’ Lil Yachty lyric about the star’s bust size in his verse on Drake’s track, Another Late Night, off his new album For All The Dogs.

Yachty’s controversial verse was : ‘I let her go, she fine as hell but baby wasn’t stylish/ She had big t*ts like Billie Eilish but she couldn’t sing.’

The star said of the lyric: ‘I think it’s fun! I’m flattered! Yachty is my friend. Drake is my friend. It’s a joke. I do have big t*ts. I love it.

‘I have big boobs. I’ve had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that’s just the way I am. That’s how I look. You wear something that’s at all revealing, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh,?’” You can suck my ᴀss! I’m literally a being that is Sєxual sometimes. F**k you!’

Eilish, who wore baggy clothes as a teenager and her early career to avoid being Sєxualized, previously told Elle that she felt that she had to ‘wear a big shirt’ to not make others ‘feel uncomfortable about’ her ‘big boobs.’

‘That’s why I wear big, baggy clothes,’ Billie explained, at the time. ‘Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘She’s slim-thick,’ ‘She’s not slim-thick,’ ‘She’s got a flat ᴀss,’ ‘She’s got a fat ᴀss.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know.’

‘I’m gonna be a woman. I wanna show my body. What if I wanna make a video where I wanna look desirable?’ she asked ahead of her 18th birthday.

Since 2021, Eilish, who will turn 22 in December, has becoming increasingly more comfortable embracing ‘feminine’ and more fitted clothing.
