Billie Eilish has found a new best friend in Alicia Keys' son.

In a video shared on Instagram on Sunday, March 3, Keys, who is 43 years old, revealed that her son Genesis, who is 9 years old, wanted to send a video to Eilish, who is 22 years old.

Keys shared a funny story about Genesis being pushy during her hair and makeup session for the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show. She mentioned how Genesis asked for Billie Eilish's number and kept bothering her for three days to send a video to her. Eventually, she agreed and Genesis sent the video as requested.

The camera then focused on a video of Genesis, who shared a message for Eilish, saying, "Hi, I'm Genesis and I'd love to be friends. I really enjoy your music and fun fact, I'm Alicia Keys' son. Bye!"

After the video ended, Keys chuckled as she repeated her son's words, "I'm Alicia Keys' son, so..." She included in her message to Eilish, "Someone asked me to send you this video, hoping it brings a smile to your face. How are you doing, beautiful? Sending you lots of love."

Keys shared that Genesis would ask her daily if Eilish had responded, and then she revealed Eilish's reply - a video message specifically for Genesis. Keys mentioned that Eilish texted back saying, "Made my day."

Genesis. It’s Billie,” Eilish said in the clip. “I’m ready to be your friend any day. You tell me when.”

Finneas O'Connell, who is Eilish's brother, introduced himself, saying, "Hi, I'm Finneas and I want to be your friend. I'm Billie Eilish's brother, by the way."

Eilish then added, "Hi Genesis. I really want us to be friends. Alicia is my friend, and I love her. I also love you, so let's spend time together and become friends. It would mean a lot to me."

After seeing the video, Keys smiled and mentioned that Genesis would be very excited. She playfully called the video his "Super Bowl." Later, Keys showed the video to Genesis, who had a big smile on his face. Keys happily told him that he had a new friend, to which Genesis responded with a cheerful "Yay!"

Keys captioned the post by saying, "If there’s one thing Genesis is going to do, it’s make new friends. He was determined! Love you my sis @billieeilish."
