Eli says she was raised by deeply religious Christian parents, and her style is different to theirs.[4] She told a journalist that "they understand that I didn't become the nice Church girl they wanted me to be."[4] As for her songwriting, she says, "I've always written about my feelings." She says Die Another Day "is about sex, drugs and girls."[4]

She is a lesbian and prefers that term over gay, as she told a journalist in 2015.[5] Beatrice used to be in a relationship with Swedish rapper Silvana Imam[6] She features on the track "Shhh" on Imam's second album Naturkraft, released in 2016.[7] Beatrice's single "Careful" from the Careful EP was nominated for "Song of The Year" at the Gaffa Awards 2018.
