Finneas wants children before he dies, and he’s not afraid to admit it. The 27-year-old musician and producer, known for his killer songwriting skills and, of course, being Billie Eilish’s brother, got real in a recent interview. He said if he only had six months left to live, his biggest regret wouldn’t be missed career goals; instead, it’d be not getting the chance to be a dad.

He told the i newspaper, “If I only had six months to live, the only thing I’d be really sad about would be not getting to have kids. Everything else, I’d be like, “Man, I had such a lucky life’.” And, really, he has: with 10 Grammy Awards under his belt, chart-topping tracks, and a ridiculously successful sibling duo career, Finneas could easily rest on his laurels.
But nope, starting a family is what matters most in the long run to him. As close as Finneas and Billie famously are, he said that the normal sibling stuff is basically impossible because she’s just too famous. He tried to do low-key things, like late-night dog walks, but they generally have to make a run for it because Billie attracts way too much attention. “She’s just so famous, man,” he said. “We have to run away. It’s crazy.”
But, of course, their relationship goes so much deeper than the music. Billie has spoken of the fact that they can literally read each other’s minds. She once told British Vogue, “We look at each other in silence, and we both know we’re thinking the exact same thing.” And that kind of unspoken connection clearly plays into the creative magic they bring into the studio.
The journey began young: Finneas wrote “Ocean Eyes” back in 2015 and gave it to Billie because he thought she sang it better. That track went onto SoundCloud, and the rest is pop history. Billie shot to stardom, and Finneas was right there with her, shaping the sound that would dominate playlists across the world.

Still, for all the accolades, Grammys, and global fame, the fact that Finneas wants kids before he dies shows he is thinking beyond music. He dreams of a different kind of legacy-one deeper than streams and headlines.
