Elon Musk and his ex-partner Grimes are reportedly considering an unconventional family arrangement as they navigate their relationship following their split. The couple, who share two children, X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl, have maintained a close bond and are exploring ways to co-parent effectively while also allowing for individual autonomy.
Grimes has hinted at the possibility of expanding their family dynamics, suggesting they might be open to having more children together. The duo’s approach reflects a modern view of parenting and family structure, emphasizing flexibility and open communication. Despite their romantic relationship ending, they remain committed to co-parenting their children in a loving environment.
Elon Musk and Grimes are reportedly exploring a new chapter in their lives by looking at mansions in the luxurious Bel Air neighborhood of Southern California. The couple, who share three children—X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and their youngest, Techno Mechanicus—are not aiming to rekindle their romantic relationship, having maintained a “semi-separated” status since their split over three years ago.
Sources indicate that while they are considering this lifestyle change, it is focused on co-parenting rather than reigniting their past relationship. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, has been open about her thoughts on their family dynamics, even alluding to Musk in a recent tweet. The couple’s joint exploration of new homes reflects their commitment to creating a supportive environment for their children while living separately.
Following his split from Grimes, Elon Musk mentioned that she would continue to reside in one of his California properties, highlighting their co-parenting arrangement. Musk explained that his demanding work at SpaceX and Tesla requires him to spend significant time in Texas or traveling, while Grimes’ career primarily keeps her in Los Angeles. He noted that she often stayed with him, allowing their son X Æ A-Xii to be nearby.
In addition to his three children with Grimes, Musk has nine other children with two former partners. With ex-wife Justine Wilson, he has six children: twins Vivian Jenna and Griffin, who are now 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, who are 18. Tragically, their first child, Nevada Alexander, passed away from SIDS at just 10 weeks old.
Musk also has three children with Shivon Zilis, with whom he shares twins born in November 2021 and a third child born in June 2023. Both Grimes and Zilis have publicly acknowledged the complexities of co-parenting with Musk, expressing mutual respect and a desire for their children to grow up together in a supportive environment. Grimes emphasized the importance of understanding and communication among the three of them as they navigate their family dynamics.
Grimes expressed appreciation for her conversation with Shivon Zilis, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and understanding in co-parenting. She acknowledged Zilis as an “amazing human” and stated their shared goal is to prioritize the well-being of their children. Zilis reciprocated, praising Grimes for their overdue connection and expressing mutual respect.
Elon Musk has had notable relationships with other high-profile figures, including actresses Talulah Riley and Amber Heard. Recently, he commented on his succession plans for his businesses during a discussion with The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council, revealing his reluctance to automatically pass on company shares to his children without their interest or ability to manage them, viewing it as a potential mistake.
Additionally, Musk has been vocal in his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in recent weeks, aligning himself with the controversial figure amidst the current political landscape.
