Billie Eilish may have mastered the art of sonic transformation and moody world-building, but lately, her personal life is offering a romantic narrative of its own—this time with actor-musician Nat Wolff quietly (and now not-so-quietly) cast as her co-star.
The Grammy- and Oscar-winning polymath has had her name linked to a few headline-generating romances over the years—from actor Matthew Tyler Vorce to alt-rock frontman Jesse Rutherford—but her newest rumored relationship with Wolff marks a shift. Less Hollywood flash, more indie darling intimacy. And as the pair trade PDA for paparazzi lenses in the canals of Venice, it’s hard not to wonder: who is Nat Wolff, really?
The Boy from The Band
Wolff may be best known to Gen Z nostalgics as the floppy-haired frontman of Nickelodeon’s The Naked Brothers Band, a faux rockumentary turned real-life teen tour de force he shared with younger brother, Alex. But behind the child-star packaging was a real lineage of artistry. His mother, Polly Draper, is an accomplished actor, writer, and director. His father, Michael Wolff, is a celebrated jazz pianist. Creative legacy runs deep—and the talent, deeper still.
By the 2010s, Wolff was landing roles in film adaptations of YA cult hits like The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, offering a certain poetic sensitivity that Hollywood couldn’t resist. But it’s music—his first love—that continues to anchor him. Alongside Alex, Nat reemerged post-Nickelodeon with two studio albums and a sound that leans more vintage Laurel Canyon than tween pop.
A Tour Turns Into a Spark
Fast forward to Eilish’s 2024 Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, where the Wolff brothers opened select dates. Cue the whisper network. The chemistry was instant, but private. Until now.
Let’s rewind the timeline:
- December 2023: The spark is lit. Wolff and Eilish meet at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. Months later, Wolff would reveal that their bond formed in part over shared experiences—both have Tourette’s syndrome, a detail he mentions with characteristic candor and warmth.
- June 2024: Nat appears in Eilish’s hauntingly surreal “CHIHIRO” music video. The two race through foggy corridors in oversized streetwear like characters in a dreamscape, sparking speculation and aesthetic awe.
- September 2024: Wolff joins Billie’s tour. The rumor mill turns. In an October interview, he waxes poetic about Eilish, saying, “She’s one of those people where everything she does, she does better than everyone else.” A compliment? Yes. A confession? Maybe.
A European Unveiling
And then, Venice.
- June 7, 2025: The duo are spotted cozying up on a water taxi, dressed down but radiating off-duty couple energy.
- June 8, 2025: The kiss—on a balcony, champagne in hand. It’s less of a debut and more of a quiet acknowledgment: We’re here. Together.
Their moments are understated, yet cinematic. Think Before Sunrise with a Gen Z filter—intimate, unguarded, and impossibly cool.
Whether this is a fleeting summer romance or something more, one thing is clear: Nat Wolff fits seamlessly into Eilish’s world of textured vulnerability and quiet rebellion. He doesn’t overpower it. He gets it.
And in a culture obsessed with spectacle, that kind of low-key love story might just be the most radical one of all.
