Tesla Boss, Elon Musk welcomes new baby
Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, welcomes another baby with singer Claire Boucher, popularly known as Grimes.
Grimes sparked pregnancy rumours in December 2021 when she posted a picture of her animated self with a baby bump. Vanity Fair has revealed that the pair welcomed a baby girl in December via a surrogate.
Initially reluctant to divulge the secret, when asked by the interviewer if she had a newborn, Grimes replied, “I’m not at liberty to speak on these things.
“Whatever is going on with family stuff, I just feel like kids need to stay out of it, and X is just out there.”
The singer later confessed that she welcomed her daughter via surrogacy in December. She also revealed that the baby’s full name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, but she is simply called Y by her parents.
Grimes and Elon have a peculiar way of naming their kids. They set tongues wagging in 2020 after revealing the name of their son as X Æ A-XII pronounced “X A.I. Archangel,” or X for short.
The birth of the child comes after Musk revealed during his 2021 Time’s Person of the Year interview that he was “semi-separated” with the artiste.
When asked about the current state of her relationship with the billionaire, the mother of two said they were best friends but there is “no real word” for what they have together.
“There’s no real word for it. I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time.
“We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it. This is the best it’s ever been. We just need to be free,” she said.
She also revealed that they planned to have more children.
“We’ve always wanted at least three or four,” she said.
Musk has five other children with his ex-wife Justine Musk – 17-year-old twins Griffin and Xavier and 16-year-old triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai. The pair also had another son together in 2002 but he lost his life to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old.
