Finneas O'Connell, the music producer and brother of the pop artist Billie Eilish, has recently faced criticism from a section of social media users. They believe his girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski, shares similar looks as his sister, Billie Eilish.

Finneas O'Connell and Claudia met on a dating app and began dating in 2018. Claudia is a 27-year-old YouTuber, actress, host, and model. She lives in Los Angeles. The couple often shares pictures and videos of their relationship on social media.

Finneas O'Connell often mentions his girlfriend on various podcasts and interviews. He also confirmed writing songs for Claudia.

Apart from their relationship, fans have noticed and commented on the similarities between Billie and Claudia's looks. Both have matching features such as dark hair, fair skin, and green eyes.

This resemblance has led some fans to comment and talk about the similarity between the two, and it is mostly not positive. There was one particular tweet by a fan stating,

"I thought the three were siblings"
Another opined, "So he just went to the Billie Eilish character creator and tweaked one setting?"
A third said, "I mean that's crazy weird"

Despite the public's reactions, Finneas O'Connell and Claudia continue to share their relationship quite openly. They co-hosted a podcast named We Bought a House, where they expressed how it was a huge step in their relationship to buy a house together. They also talked of their experiences as a couple and their relationship dynamics in the podcast.

Finneas O'Connell's relationship & social media buzz

The online community has been taken over by discussions on the couple. The debate over Claudia's resemblance to Billie has divided fans. Some claim that it is just a coincidence, while others find it odd.

It all started with a viral tweet, where critics spotted how similar Billie and Claudia look. Some reacted to it and found it quite weird, while some fans defended Finneas O'Connell, saying his attraction isn't based on appearance.

This is nothing new. The criticism has been going on for quite some time now. With the latest tweet, it has simply resurfaced.

Finneas previously responded to the past comments and backlash. In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote:

"I can't believe people are actually talking about this."

Claudia has also addressed the previous comments in interviews, stating that she likes to stay away from negativity and baseless criticism. Billie has never responded to or reacted to this controversy.
