Grimes, the Canadian musician and artist, has voiced her concerns regarding the public exposure of her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with tech billionaire Elon Musk. In a recent social media post, Grimes revealed that she has “begged” both the public and Musk to keep their kids offline, especially in light of a recent controversy surrounding an expose she was wrongly accused of writing about the private lives of Fortune 500 CEOs.
Responding to criticism from a follower who questioned her stance given her status as a mother, Grimes expressed her frustration, stating, “I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet.” She highlighted her ongoing battle to protect her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s privacy, emphasizing her grave concern over their lives being so publicly scrutinized. “I think about how to solve this every day. It’s insane to me that there’s no way to deal with this,” she remarked.
Grimes, 36, shares three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren—X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus—with Musk, 53. Since their split in 2022 after four years together, the former couple has been entangled in a legal dispute over parental rights that began in 2023 when Grimes filed a petition in court.
In her post, Grimes expressed a desire for legislation that would allow parents to protect their young 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from public exposure, lamenting that she does not trust the legal system to provide adequate support. While Grimes seeks more privacy for her family, Musk has publicly included their son X in several high-profile events, making him one of the most photographed 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren of the billionaire’s numerous offspring.
As the conversation around celebrity privacy continues, Grimes’s plea underscores a growing concern among public figures about the impact of fame on their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s lives. E! News has reached out to Musk’s representatives for comment but has yet to receive a response.
