Today it’s damp from a shower, and she’s cozied up in a black T-shirt from her own merch store, along with a pair of matching sweats. A 180 from her formerly signature black-with-green-roots ’do, the new hair caused an uproar when she debuted it on Instagram in March. Eilish is sporting her new blond-bombshell look. Maggie and her husband, Patrick O’Connell, buzz in and out of the kitchen, commenting on the cookie baking and helping Eilish use the old oven. “I just love my parents, so I want to be around them,” she says, shrugging. But secretly, because nobody needs to know that.”Įilish hasn’t been totally lying about where she lives she still spends a lot of nights in her childhood bedroom. “It’s been a couple of years now where I’ve been doing my own thing. “I’m secretive about what’s really going on,” she offers conspiratorially, rummaging around the cabinets of her parents’ kitchen like a college student visiting home on a long weekend. Eilish is, at first, cagey about admitting that she’s moved out as well. He constructed a new studio in his basement, where he and Eilish began recording music last year. “We kept for a while, then we were like ‘We don’t need this,’ ” Eilish says.įinneas moved out a couple of years ago, settling down in Los Feliz with his influencer girlfriend Claudia Sulewski. Her mom’s added a blue rug to the bedroom and sleeps there with their cat, Misha. There’s just no equipment,” Billie insists as she greets me in her kitchen, gathering ingredients and utensils for the cookies she wants to bake. Instead, the siblings’ mom, Maggie Baird, has taken over the space. For starters, contemporary pop’s most famous home studio, set up in the childhood bedroom of Billie’s brother Finneas, is no longer a studio. Signs of home-schooling linger in common areas, like an old-fashioned pencil sharpener attached to the wall and dingy supplies precariously placed on a desk.īut look closer, and plenty is different. The O’Connell family’s rescue dog, Pepper, trudges through the backyard, now joined by Eilish’s year-old rescue, Shark, a gray pit bull. It’s a location familiar to any Eilish fan, and at first glance on an absurdly beautiful day in April, not much appears to have changed about the house in the couple of years since it became famous, along with its teenage occupant. In fact, it’s legendary: the place where a prodigal teenager and her older brother recorded the album that made Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell the queen of Gen-Z pop. From the outside, the house isn’t terribly different from others on the block: a cozy bungalow in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood with an old lilac tree blooming near the entrance.
