Matthew Tyler Vorce, Billie Eilish’s boyfriend, has apologised for old racist and homophobic posts that have resurfaced.

The 29-year-old actor took to his Instagram story, apologising for the “offensive” words he’s used in the past, calling them “hurtful and irresponsible”

Earlier this week, fans posted old tweets and Facebook posts where Matthew Tyler Vorce reportedly used racist and homophobic slurs, as well as allegedly calling the singer Adele the “British Miss Piggy” in 2012.

In the post on his Instagram story, Matthew said: “I want to apologise for the things that I wrote on social media in the past. The language I used was hurtful and irresponsible and I understand how offensive those words are.

“Whether it was a lyric, a quote or just me being dumb, it does not matter. I am ashamed and deeply sorry that I used them in any context.”

He went on to say: “It is not what I stand for. I shouldn’t have used this language in the first place and I won’t use it agin. I am so sorry for the hurt I have caused.

“I take full responsibility and continue to hold myself accountable for my actions.”

Billie and her boyfriend Matthew have been spotted together in public numerous times, and it’s been reported the two have been dating for at least a few months.

Vorce is an actor and writer who is known for having appeared in Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? alongside James Franco, and Little Monsters. Both of these films scored less than five out of 10 on IMDb.
