Billionaire Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes is a Canadian musician and her real name is Claire Elise Boucher. The former couple, who had an age-gap of 17 years, had made their relationship public in 2018 and dated for roughly four years. During their on and off dating period, Elon Musk and Grimes had three children-- a son named X AE A-12, a daughter named Exa Dark Siderael Musk via surrogacy in 2021, and a son named Techno Mechanicus in 2022.

In 2021, Elon had revealed in an interview that he and Grimes were "semi-separated" but they were still in good terms with each other. Elon Musk had told Page Six in 2021, “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms... It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or travelling overseas and her work is primarily in LA.”

In March 2022, Grimes had confirmed her split with Elon Musk after they had their second child together. But in June 2022, the on and off couple secretly welcomed their third child together.

In an earlier interview with Wired, Grimes had surprisgly called her relationship with Elon Musk the "best internship ever"! Grimes had said, “I learned from him, like, the best internship ever. People don’t like talking about Elon, but it was incredible to be right there watching all that SpaceX stuff happen. That’s a master class in leadership and engineering and makes you understand how rare it is to have a leader of that quality.”

On being asked what Elon Musk had learned from her in return, Grimes had said, “Maybe to have more fun. I try to soften him up, to build family culture. And he steals a lot of my memes.”

Even after their break-up, the formr couple seemed to be in good terms as Grimes had once wrote about Musk that he is “my best friend and the love of my life”. However, things seemed to have soured between them after Grimes posted pictures of her new boyfriend and Musk subsequently unfollowed her on X.

While their relationship is over and Grimes has moved on in life, Elon Musk and Grimes have three children together and they are locked in a legal battle for having the custody of their kids. As per reports, Musk has stated in the court documents that he's had the "actual care, control, and possession of each child since the birth of each child." He also said that he has been taking care of his children in Texas for at least "six consecutive months." Meanwhile, Grimes has filed a petition in San Francisco Superior Court to have a parental relationship with her children, especially since Musk wouldn't give her access to one of their children together.
