Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, filed a ârequest to establish parental relationshipâ in a California court on September 29. This application is to identify the legal parents of their đ€đ©đȘđđ„ren as long as they are not married. It can be used for proceedings regarding rights and obligations with the đ€đ©đȘđđ„ren later on.
However, the Tesla boss seems to have not yet responded to his ex-loverâs petition. The Canadian singer has also not requested custody or đ€đ©đȘđđ„ support.
Grimesâ petition came just a few weeks after the 35-year-old female artist begged Elon Musk to let her see her son. In a since-deleted tweet sent to Shivon Zilis â the mother of Elon Muskâs twins, Grimes said: âTell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or please answer my lawyer. I even I have never been allowed to see any photos of these twins until now, even though it completely devastated my family.â
A few days later, Grimes explained on X that she had contacted Zilis to resolve the conflict. âI finally had a long conversation with Shivon. This is not her fault, please donât be angry with her. We respect each other very much and are happy to be friends so the kids can grow up togetherâ. Responding to Grimes, Zilis wrote: âAll ended well.â

Zilis is chief executive officer at Elon Muskâs company Neuralink. According to court documents, she gave đđąđ«đđĄ to two đ€đ©đȘđđ„ren for the American billionaire through IVF last November. Meanwhile, Grimes and Musk started dating in 2018 and have three đ€đ©đȘđđ„ren. Their first son, X AE A-Xii, was đđšđ«đ§ in May 2020. The second đ€đ©đȘđđ„, đđđđŠ girl Exa Dark Siderael (nickname Y), was đđšđ«đ§ to a surrogate in December 2021 â the same year the couple broke up.
Last month, journalist Walter Isaacsonâs biography of Elon Musk revealed that the SpaceX founder and Grimes secretly had a third son, Techno Mechanicus. Currently, not much information has been revealed about this đ€đ©đȘđđ„, only the boyâs nickname is Tau. Thus, up to now Elon Musk is the father of 11 đ€đ©đȘđđ„ren and has been divorced three times.
