Billie Eilish broke up with her boyfriend after Christian Bale dream made her ‘come to her senses’

The 'Bad Guy' singer just knew the moment she woke up

We all have those dreams every now and again when it feels like they really did happen.

Maybe you’re quickly texting the group chat to make sure everyone is in fact alive or double-checking there isn’t a bath full of chocolate in the house.

Or, if you’re Billie Eilish, perhaps you end up breaking up with your boyfriend.

And it was actually a dream about the one and only Christian Bale that she says made her ‘come to her senses’.

Look, when you know, you just know. And the moment the ‘Bad Guy’ singer woke up, she knew.

Eilish was recently chatting to Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg at an Oscars Nominees ‘Pre-Luncheon’ Luncheon when they sort of stumbled onto the topic.

Dimoldenberg asked her and brother Finneas O’Connell if they wrote their big 2016 debut hit ‘Ocean Eyes’ about the blue-eyed Cillian Murphy.

And the songwriting siblings jokingly agreed they ‘probably’ did.

O’Connell added: “I probably wrote it about Cillian, yeah. Big fan of Cillian’s eyes in Dunkirk.”

Although Eilish was quick to hop in with: “Batman is the one though.”

Dimoldenberg asked: “Is that your favourite superhero?”

And while the ‘What Was I Made For?’ singer admitted she doesn’t ‘really know much about superheroes’ she did specifically like 2008’s The Dark Knight.

The Christopher Nolan film stars Murphy as Scarecrow with Heath Ledger as the Joker and Christian Bale in the role of Bruce Wayne (Batman, obviously).

And then it was time for Eilish ‘to be real’ after the mention of the superhero movie.

She said: “A couple years ago I had a dream about Christian Bale and it was at a little cafe in the sunlight, and it made me realise that I had to break up with my boyfriend at the time.”

Unsurprisingly, Dimoldenberg stood jaw-dropped by the revelation as O’Connell absolutely cracked up.

“No, like genuinely. I woke up and I came to my senses,” EIlish continued. “It’s over.”

Billie and Jesse reportedly split last year.

The 22-year-old didn’t name any names about just who her Bale dream led to her dumping but she was most recently linked to Jesse Rutherford, 32, before breaking up last year.

Before that, Eilish was reportedly linked to Matthew Tyler Vorce and also Q – who appeared in her Apple TV documentary.

Users on X reacted to a video of the interview as they thanked Bale for his ‘service’ and said Eilish ‘should live up to the standards set in her dreams’.
