They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala that year. At the time, news of their relationship resulted in a flurry of memes online from fans who were caught completely off guard by the new romance. From there, Musk and Grimes whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher made headlines pretty often like when they sparked breakup rumors after unfollowing each other on Instagram.
As noted by Business Insiders Grimes really shocked everyone when she announced she was pregnant with her first child in January 2020. Two months later she confirmed to Rolling Stone that the Tesla and SpaceX founder was the father.
However, nothing broke the internet more than when the pair announced that they named their newborn son X Ash A Twelve Musk. Sadly the couple has broken up after three years together. Elon Musk confirmed he and Grimes are no longer together in a statement to Page Six on September 24th. He said, “we are semi-separated, but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms.”
The tech billionaire hinted that his work schedule and the long distance aspect of their relationship played a role in their decision to split up, but that they will continue to be amicable co-parents to their son.

According to Page Six, Musk and Grimes were last seen together at this year’s Met Gala which occurred right before their breakup announcement. Though the pair did not walk the red carpet together, they reportedly met up inside the event and later attended a private Met Gala after party at club Zero Bond in New York City.
Ever since they started dating, Elon Musk and Grimes’s relationship had its fair share of hardships particularly after they welcomed their child.
A source revealed to US Weekly in May 2020 that Elon and Grimes have experienced a lot of ups and downs in their relationship throughout Grimes’s pregnancy and have been on and off. They noted that even though the two may not last as a couple, they “will continue to maintain a close friendship regardless of their romantic involvement.”
Elon plans to be a father figure and be involved in the life of his child.
Grimes will have plenty of time to focus on her own work as Musk continues his headline making career. Regardless, he has promised to co-parent their son.
