Elon Musk and Grimes Become Parents Again
Mar 11: Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and the musician Grimes have had a second child, a girl they named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk — although the parents will mostly call her Y.
The 33-year-old Grimes said the baby was born in December, in an interview.
Due to fears that she would have complications, which Grimes said she endured during her first pregnancy, the parents decided this time to use a surrogate.
The birth of their first child, a boy born in May 2020, was followed closely in the press — notably because of the choice of name: X Æ A-12, or more simply, X.
Elon Musk — the head of Tesla and SpaceX, and currently the richest person in the world — announced last fall that he was “semi-separated” from the singer.
“I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid,” Grimes told Vanity Fair.
The eclectic artist, whose real name is Claire Boucher, added that she and Musk live in separate houses but remain “best friends.”
