Billie and Jesse faced backlash when news broke that they were dating last month in light of their 11-year age gap, with Billie being 20, and Jesse 31.

Fans were also left uncomfortable by the fact that Jesse and Billie first met when she was around 16, and that Billie has long been a fan of his band, the Neighbourhood. Others defended the pair, arguing that Billie is a legal and consenting adult, and therefore able to make decisions for herself without scrutiny from the public.

But either way, the pair were totally unfazed by the backlash, and decided to poke fun at all the talk about their age gap by dressing up as a baby and an old man for Halloween.

Billie wore a bonnet, bib, and diaper, with a full face of doll-esque makeup on her face. Meanwhile, Jesse used prosthetics and a bald cap to make himself look like an old man.
