Sealed With a Kiss! Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff Seemingly Confirm Romance On Steamy Italian Getaway
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff continue to fuel romance rumors after being spotted sharing a steamy kiss while on vacation in Venice, Italy.
In photos, published by Deux Moi on Sunday, June 8, Eilish, 23, and Nat, 30, shared an intimate moment on a balcony in Italy. At one point, Nat held the 'Lunch' singer by the chin and went in for a kiss as she leaned against a banister.
Dressed casually in t-shirts and jeans, Eilish and the 'Paper Towns' actor were also photographed sipping from champagne flutes and taking selfies on her digital camera.
Eilish and Nat sparked romance rumors in March, when they were seen looking cozy in New York City after sneaking out of the 2025 iHeart Music Video Awards together, according to Page Six.
The 'Ocean Eyes' singer and the Naked Brothers Band star met after being introduced by Nat's brother Alex Wolff, whom Eilish met at an Oscars after-party. The three became close, bonding over their shared experiences with Tourette's syndrome.
Nat and Alex — who make up the pop-rock duo Nat & Alex Wolff — went on to open for Eilish on the Northern American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour last year. Nat also starred in Eilish's self-directed 'Chihiro' music video.
'My first real impression of you, when I met you, was at the Oscars after party… It was just like an immediate — I don't even know what we talked about, but it was an immediate — I was like, 'Yo!'' Eilish told Alex last year during a joint interview with Vogue, detailing how she went on to become friends with Nat as well.
'Your family is literally the greatest thing that's ever happened to me,' she added.
Eilish was previously linked to The Neighborhood musician Jesse Rutherford, whom she dated for roughly seven months before breaking up in May 2033.
That same year, Eilish accused a reporter of outing her as bisexual after she discussed her sexuality in a cover story for Variety.
'I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever,' she told Vogue in 2024. 'And I hope that they never will again.'
'And I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again,' she added.
Prior to Eilish, Nat was linked to his now-married Palo Alto costar Margaret Qualley. He was also previously in a relationship with Tell Me Lies actress Grace Van Patten from 2017 to 2021.

Danny Boyle admits he couldn't make 'Slumdog Millionaire' today because of cultural appropriation concerns
English director Danny Boyle said that he would not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" if it was made today due to "cultural appropriation" and would rather have a "young Indian filmmaker" make it instead. "We wouldn't be able to make that now. And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world... At the time it felt radical," Boyle told The Guardian. 'Snow White' Becomes Disney's Worst-performing Live-action Remake In Nearly 10 Years Set in India, the movie tells the story of Jamal, a young "slumdog" who's been selected to appear on the country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", and hopes to also find his childhood lost love, Latika. Throughout his appearance, events from his tumultuous life are shown in flashback and help him answer the questions. Released in 2008, "Slumdog Millionaire" was a hit with audiences and critics, grossing nearly $380 million on a $15 million budget and winning eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Director for Boyle. Denzel Washington Shuts Down Reports He Bailed On Cannes Film Festival After Red Carpet Incident Read On The Fox News App However, despite its success, the movie was controversial for appearing to exploit Indian culture and portray stereotypes of India from a western perspective. Some Indian critics enjoyed the movie, but some Indian artists were underwhelmed, claiming it was "saturated with stereotyped images of India," TIME magazine reported. Boyle added that while the film was in production over 15 years ago, he was sensitive to the exploitative implications of making the movie as a foreigner then. "We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times," Boyle told The Guardian. He went on to say, "But at other times it cannot be. I mean, I'm proud of the film, but you wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn't even get financed. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it." Boyle's other notable movies include "Trainspotting," "Steve Jobs," "127 Hours" and the "28 Days Later" horror series. The latest, "28 Years Later", was released on Friday.

‘Jaws' turns 50: Steven Spielberg's caught-on-camera Oscar snub still smarts — and shows need for Best Director reform
Steven Spielberg, one could say, was less than pleased when he found out he was not nominated for the Best Director Oscar for his game-changing shark thriller Jaws. On Oscar nominations morning in 1976, the then 29-year-old was so confident that the blockbuster was "about to be nominated in 11 categories" that he turned the camera on himself to document his live reaction. "You're about to see a sweep of the nominations," Spielberg boasted in the footage (watch above), which has since become legend thanks to the Media Burn Archive collection. More from GoldDerby All the 'Abbott Elementary' Season 4 Emmy predictions, including those 'Sunny' guest stars Ryan Murphy and the JFK Jr.-Carolyn Bessette controversy, explained: Why 'American Love Story' Instagram post got so much hate Everything to know about 'The Pitt' Season 2 Along with friends Joe Spinell and Frank Pesce—both of whom were filming Rocky, which would go on to win Best Picture at the subsequent Oscars—Spielberg watched as Best Director was announced on TV. The nominees were Federico Fellini for Amarcord, Stanley Kubrick for Barry Lyndon, Sidney Lumet for Dog Day Afternoon, Robert Altman for Nashville, and Miloš Forman for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. While that's legendary lineup of directors, Spielberg was aghast: "Oh, I didn't get it! I didn't get it! I wasn't nominated. I got beaten out by Fellini!" (Amarcord was the only film without a corresponding Best Picture nomination and had also won Best Foreign Language Film the year prior, giving it international distribution for 1975 eligibility.) By the time Jaws was announced as a Best Picture nominee moments later, it seemed like a consolation prize to the young director. "Well, it's about time," Spielberg stated, the sting still fresh. Spinell and Pesce also expressed frustration, comparing it to 1972 when The Godfather and Cabaret split the top two categories. "You cannot have the Best Picture unless the director is also nominated. Who made the picture?" Spinell declared. "The greatest picture of all time was made and they haven't recognized the director," Pesce added. Universal Pictures/Everett Collection After being informed by his assistant that Jaws was only up in four categories instead of the 11 he expected, Spielberg attributed the snubs to commercial backlash, meaning: "When a film makes a lot of money, people resent it. Everybody loves a winner, but nobody loves a WINNER." Although much has evolved with the Academy Awards in the 50 years since, Spielberg's theory still rings true. Jaws became the catalyst for the movie business model that exists today and also redefined what we think of as box office success. Still, high grosses don't necessarily translate to certain Academy Award recognition. At the time, many were overwhelmed by Jaws' commercial success and perhaps thought that was enough for the movie. Even today, the Oscars remain more of a launching pad for independent and purposely "artistic" films, only occasionally recognizing blockbusters for the top category—and even less so for Best Director. Back when there were only five slots in Best Picture, the stars would have to align for the kind of golden sweep experienced by box office juggernauts like Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, each of which won 11 Oscars and tied for the most all-time wins. The reason the Best Picture field expanded to 10 nominees can be credited to the outrage over Christopher Nolan's 2008 smash The Dark Knight being shut out of major categories. Since then, more blockbusters have been nominated—including Black Panther, Wicked: Part One, Top Gun: Maverick, Barbie, and both Dune films—but none of those corresponded to the directing category. As Spinell said incredulously in that 1976 clip, "Who made the picture?" READ: 'Jaws' at 50: Jeffrey 'Deputy Hendricks' Kramer recalls 'horrific' first scene and an epic Roy Scheider flub Jaws ended up winning three of its four Oscar nominations, taking home Best Original Score for John Williams, as well as Best Sound, and Best Editing. Spielberg went on to amass 23 nominations, including nine Best Director mentions and two wins. So while he may have been disappointed 50 years ago, Jaws kickstarted the career of Hollywood's most commercially successful director. At the same time, the Academy got it wrong then and continues to get it wrong too often now. Don't hold your breath for the organization to revamp the Best Director category to include more nominees; there is a lingering snobbery when it comes to the perception of art versus commerce, with the two rarely intersecting for voters. In the case of Jaws, history has proven the film's immense value. No offense to, say, Fellini or Kubrick—both undisputed titans of cinema—but a half-century later, neither of their 1975 offerings has the cultural cachet of Jaws. "Amarcord at 50" headlines just aren't a thing. Jaws, meanwhile, is still enjoyable as an intense, suspenseful thriller about an unlikely trio trying to thwart a great white shark before it kills any more innocent civilians. However, Spielberg also makes it a story about the complicity of local governments and the value of corporate greed over human lives—something that still resonates. And what Spielberg does with his camera, establishing the horror through underwater shots, split diopters, dolly zooms, and the alternating iconic two-note score by Williams has influenced filmmaking for five decades. Jaws is universal and unforgettable... and its Oscar omissions are truly unforgivable.
