Music Is Billie Eilish Nepo Baby? See what the singer’s mother says Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell, the artist’s parents, worked with music and acting since long before her birth By Editorial Staff

Billie Eilish comes from a family of artists. The singer is the daughter of the actress and teacher Maggie Baird and the actor Patrick O’Connell.

Thus, there are recurring allegations that the young woman was a “nepo baby” — that is, someone who achieved success more easily due to her parents’ careers. The argument gained strength after the participation of Maggie in an episode of the series Friendsin 1999, went viral.

However, the mother of Billie denies that the young artist benefited from her origins. In terms of glamor, Baird appeared alongside other celebrity mothers such as Beyonce, Selena Gomez and Travis Kelce. At the time, he stated the following:

I think it’s hilarious. It was like, ‘Oh, Billie It’s a nepo baby’. And I say: ‘Did you know I caught that episode of Friends because I was about to lose my health insurance?’.”

Maggie further explained that although she and her father Billie are actors, it doesn’t mean they are rich. On the contrary, both the singer and her brother, Finneasreceived education at home (homeschooling) so that the family could spend more time together.

The actress stated:

We had a miserable life and it gave us a lot of time with our kids, which was amazing. But the industry is mostly made up of people like us, or even people who aren’t like us and couldn’t even do it.”

Participation in Friends is not the only one Baird in a famous series. The actress has already been in episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Birds of Prey, The X-Files, Bonesamong others.

Maggie also works as a voice actress, with work that includes the films Eragon (2006), Ice Age: Christmas Special (2011) and games Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption (2000), Mass Effect 2 (2010), Mass Effect 3 (2012) and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (2013). The artist also released a musical album, We Sail (2009).
