DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Billie and Jesse for comment.
Billie and Jesse were first photographed together in October 2022, before calling it quits seven months later.
At the time, a spokesperson for the singer said: “We can confirm that Billie and Jesse have parted ways amicably and remain good friends.”
They also denied that the relationship had ended due to cheating and confirmed that they were both now single.
Prior to Jesse’s relationship with Billie, he was in a six-year relationship with influencer Devon Lee Carlson between 2015 and 2021, with whom Billie had a friendship.
The source continued, “Jesse understands that Billie feels like he was using her to get back at Devon, but she also doesn’t admit that she’s broke for pursuing Jesse when she was friends with his ex, Devon.
Since their split, Grammy winner Billie has been open about her sexuality, revealing to Variety last year that she was “physically attracted” to women.
Last month, Billie said: “I’ve had crushes on girls my whole life, but I didn’t understand it, until last year, (when) I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
“Those close to him feel that Billie is growing even closer to Devon after their separation was intentional.
‘She knew this would affect him. He’s sure Devon helped her on this issue and got her approval for being so blatant that it was a misrepresentation issue.
The source added: “Billie was well aware of the impact her songs would have on Jesse and his career. She knows that he recently formed his own band and that it hasn’t had the success she expected.
“His fans have hounded him on social media and this is simply not something he would want to deal with at this point in his life and career.”
Listeners have also been busy speculating that the song Wildflower is a nod to Devon, who has a phone case company called Wildflower Cases.
Billie doesn’t hold back her feelings on L’Amour de Ma Vie and sings: ‘I wish you the best for the rest of your life / I felt sorry for you when I looked into your eyes / But I need to confess that I told you a lie / I told you / You were the love of my life / The love of my life.’
Other lyrics include: ‘Did I break your heart? / Did I waste your time? / I tried to be there for you / Then you tried to break mine.’
Billie’s fans have been reading the lyrics to her new album, and some are also convinced that Wildflower is about Jesse’s ex-girlfriend, Devon Lee Carlson.
At the time of their split, a representative for Billie said that she and Jesse “remain good friends.”
Since their split, Grammy winner Billie has been open about her sexuality, revealing to Variety last year that she was “physically attracted” to women.
In a later interview with the publication, he said he thought “it was obvious” as he reflected on the world’s reaction to his admission.
At the time, she said she wasn’t really a fan of the concept of coming out, explaining, “I just think, why can’t we just exist?”
‘I’ve been doing this for a long time and I just didn’t talk about it… wow! I saw all the articles and thought, “Oh, I guess I came out today… Okay, cool.”
“But it’s exciting to me because I guess people didn’t know, so it’s cool that they know.” It makes me nervous to talk about it… but I’m for the girls.’
She alludes to her sexuality in Lunch, the second song from the new album, which was released on Friday, and reveals that it was instrumental in helping her discover “who she is.”
“That song was actually part of what helped me become who I am, to be real,” he told Rolling Stone.
‘I wrote part of it before I even did anything with a girl, and then I wrote the rest.
“I’ve had crushes on girls my whole life, but I just didn’t understand it, until last year, (when) I realized I wanted my face in a vagina.”
Fans were quick to call the steamy new song a “lesbian anthem” and a huge “victory for gays.”
