Billie Eilish has confirmed she's attracted to women in a brand-new interview.
The 'Ocean Eyes' star opened up about her sexuality to Variety as well as her gender identity.
She told the outlet: "I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well.

"I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real."
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter continued: "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."
Billie, who recently left fans stunned after showing off her bold new back tattoo, went on to discuss her former, baggier clothing style.
Explaining it wasn't necessarily about not wanting to be 'sexualised', the 'Bad Guy' hit-maker continued: "I wasn’t trying to have people not sexualise me.
"But I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually.
"I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything."
She added: "Maybe my not really caring about being sexualised is because I’ve never felt desired or desirable.
"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."
Billie added: "I identify as ‘she/her’ and things like that, but I’ve never really felt like a girl."
Addressing the media frenzy surrounding her body from the age of just 16, she stated: "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, but you didn’t want people to sexualise you?'"
Billie then sent out a message to any trolls commenting on the way she looks: "You can suck my a**! I’m literally a being that is sexual sometimes. F*ck you!"
After opening up about the 'weird and upsetting' scrutiny she faced in her earlier years, the singer has since assured fans: "My life is feeling good.
"I feel like I’m becoming a person I really love and doing things I feel really proud of. In many ways in my life, I feel like I’m just now waking up."
