She reportedly started dating Musk in March 2018 and the pair welcomed their first child, X Æ A-Xii, in 2020.
Although the pair seem to have an on-and-off-again relationship, it was revealed that the pair had welcomed their second child, a baby girl via surrogate on March 10, 2022.
Their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, is nicknamed “Y” by her parents.
On September 9, 2023, a review published by claimed that Musk and Grimes secretly welcomed a third child together.
The baby boy, a son by the name of Techno Mechanicus, was born in mid-June 2022, during the week of Father’s Day.
Musk later confirmed he calls his third child with Grimes “Tau” for short, after the Greek letter for the number equal to two times pi.
