Billie, who has a reputation for being assiduously tight-lipped about her love life, has not addressed the latest conjecture in public and neither has Jesse.
A couple of years ago Billie remarked on Capital Breakfast With Roman Kemp that she ‘definitely’ prefers to ‘keep’ her relationships ‘private.’
She dished: ‘I’ve had relationships and kept them private, and even the ones that I’ve had; with the tiny amount that I’ve let the world see, I regret.’

The No Time To Die singer explained: ‘I think about the people that have made their relationships public, and then they break up, and it’s like: “What if it goes bad?”‘
Meanwhile Jesse, who is best known as the frontman for The Neighbourhood, previously dated a model called Devon Lee Carson.
They became an item in 2015 but by November of last year reports had begun to allege that they had brought the curtain down on their romance.
