ELON MUSK'S LOVE LIFE

The history:

1. FIRST WIFE

Elon Musk got married to Canadian author Justine Wilson in 2000. He met her at Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada. The couple was blessed with twins in 2004 and triplets in 2006 after a devastating loss of their firstborn child in 2002.

The couple got divorced in 2008 and share custody for five of their sons.

2. SECOND WIFE

In 2008, Elon started dating Talulah Riley, who is an English actress and they got married in 2010.

But unfortunately, this relationship did not last too long. They got divorced in 2010.

The relationship took a U-turn in 2013 when Elon and Riley remarried. But just one year later, Elon filed a divorce from Riley, again, which he withdrew after some time.

The on-off marriage finally ended in 2016.

3. SHORT-TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH AMBER HEARD

In the summer of 2016, Elon Musk was dating actress Amber Heard. Amber Heard was married to Johnny Depp during that time.

Amber Heard’s marriage with Johnny Depp also ended in 2017. Depp even accused Elon of having an affair with Amber while they were still married.

Both Musk and Heard denied the same. Amber called the accusation "illogical jealousy".

4. THANK YOU, NEXT

In May 2018, the famous Elon and Grimes relationship started.

Claire Elise Boucher, known as Grimes, is a Canadian musician. They met each other on Twitter while cracking jokes around artificial intelligence and Rococo.

They couple then made a public appearance at Met Gala 2018.

After a few public appearances, they both unfollowed each other on Instagram in August 2018.

So, everyone assumed the obvious: that the relationship was over. But then Elon re-followed her two months later.

Honestly, Elon’s relationships are loaded with ups and downs.

In January 2020, the biggest surprise was revealed. Grimes announced her pregnancy.

Now, this is baby number seven for Elon.

Later in March 2020, the unfollow-refollow game happened again.

In May 2020, the couple welcomed a baby boy named X Æ A-12 Musk. Yes, that strange name that made headlines. After facing some legal issues, they changed that name to X Æ A-Xii.

(Wow, how different.)

But then, in December 2021, in an interview, Elon revealed that he is single.

Elon told Page Six that he and Grimes “are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently, and are on great terms”.

5. WHO’S NEXT?

During the initial months of 2022, reports claimed that Elon is dating Australian actress Natasha Bassett.

On March 10, the world woke up to another big surprise. Grimes and Elon welcomed their second child and this time it’s a girl - baby number 8.

Dating someone else, baby with ex-girlfriend. What on earth is happening here?

The newborn has been named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, nicknamed Y (poor name choice again). She was born in December 2021 via surrogacy.

WHAT’S THE CURRENT STATUS?

On March 10, Grimes announced that Elon and she have broken up, AGAIN.

Now this takes us back to Elon’s tweet on March 7 on hardest goodbyes. Finally, it makes sense.

There is no confirmation on Elon and Natasha’s relationship so far.

Final verdict: It’s complicated!
