Elon Musk and musician Grimes have officially parted ways for the second time, bringing their dramatic on-again, off-again romance to a permanent close, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The billionaire SpaceX founder and the Canadian artist, whose real name is Claire Boucher, had rekindled their relationship approximately one year ago after a previous breakup. However, sources close to the couple confirm their romantic involvement has now conclusively ended.
Their complex relationship timeline includes:
- First meeting in 2018 through a clever AI-related pun on Twitter
- Welcoming their first child, X Æ A-Xii, in May 2020
- Initial breakup in September 2021 after three years together
- Reconciliation in early 2022
- Birth of their second child, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate in December 2022
- Final separation in recent weeks
The couple's unconventional relationship often made headlines, from their unique approach to co-parenting to Grimes' candid comments about their unusual living arrangements. The musician previously revealed they lived in separate homes near each other and described their partnership as "the best we've ever been."
This development comes amidst Musk's growing family with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, with whom he secretly welcomed twins in November 2021. Musk now fathers at least ten children with multiple partners.
Despite the romantic split, sources indicate Musk and Grimes remain committed to co-parenting their two children together and maintain a respectful relationship.
The breakup marks another chapter in Musk's tumultuous personal life, which continues to draw as much public attention as his groundbreaking work with Tesla, SpaceX, and his recent acquisition of Twitter.
