He has been married twice, both times to different women, and has partnered with artists, actresses, and business executives. The current date is December 22, 2025, and the latest public information indicates a total of 13 children with four women, though the most recent claim is unconfirmed by Musk himself.

- Grimes (Claire Boucher): Partner/Co-parent, Canadian musician and artist. Mother of three children, all with famously unconventional names.

The Wives: Justine Musk and the Double Marriage to Talulah Riley
Elon Musk’s first marriage was to Canadian author Justine Wilson, whom he met while they were both attending Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The couple married in 2000, just as Musk was seeing his first major success with the sale of Zip2. The relationship was formative, lasting eight years until their divorce in 2008. They had six children together. Tragically, their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk, died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at just 10 weeks old in 2002. Following this loss, they turned to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and welcomed twins, Griffin and Xavier (now Vivian Jenna Wilson), in 2004, and then triplets, Kai, Saxon, and Damian, in 2006. Justine has been open about the challenges of being married to a man of Musk's ambition, famously describing their relationship dynamics in a 2010 essay.The Unconventional Two-Time Marriage to Talulah Riley
Shortly after his divorce from Justine, Musk began dating British actress Talulah Riley. Riley, known for roles in films like *Pride & Prejudice* and *Inception*, first married Musk in 2010. This marriage lasted two years, ending in divorce in 2012. In an almost unprecedented move, the couple remarried a year later in 2013. This second union lasted until their final divorce in 2016. Riley has since spoken fondly of their time together, reflecting on the intensity of being married to the tech mogul. Their unconventional on-again, off-again marital history remains one of the most unique chapters in Musk’s love life.High-Profile Romances: Amber Heard and the Grimes Era
Following his final split from Talulah Riley, Elon Musk entered a highly publicized relationship with actress Amber Heard. The pair were first linked in late 2016 and went public with their relationship in April 2017. Their romance was intense and often described as "brutal" by those close to the situation, with the couple dating on and off before officially ending things in February 2018. Heard later shared her perspective on the difficulties of having a public relationship, acknowledging the intense scrutiny they faced.The Futuristic Partnership with Grimes
Musk’s relationship with Canadian musician Grimes (born Claire Boucher) began in 2018 and quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity pairings in the world. Their connection was famously sparked by a shared, obscure joke about artificial intelligence on Twitter. The couple, known for their avant-garde style and interest in technology, made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. The Grimes-Musk partnership has produced three children, all with unique, futuristic names:- X Æ A-Xii (X): Born in May 2020. The name initially caused controversy and had to be slightly altered to comply with California law.
- Exa Dark Sideræl (Y): Born via surrogate in December 2021.
- Techno Mechanicus (Tau): Born in 2023.
The Co-Parents: Shivon Zilis and the 2025 Ashley St. Clair Claim
The most recent additions to Elon Musk’s expansive family come from his professional circle, highlighting a focus on co-parenting and a shared vision for the future of humanity.The Neuralink Connection with Shivon Zilis
Shivon Zilis, a high-ranking executive at Musk’s companies Neuralink and OpenAI, is the mother of four of his children. Zilis and Musk welcomed twins, Strider and Azure, in November 2021. These births were kept private until court filings were made public in mid-2022. In a further surprise, it was later revealed through journalist Walter Isaacson’s biography that Zilis and Musk had two more children: a daughter named Arcadia and a son named Seldon Lycurgus, bringing their total to four children together. Zilis has clarified that their relationship is not a traditional romance; rather, they share a deep connection based on their work and a commitment to having children who can help ensure the future of civilization. This unique arrangement underscores Musk’s commitment to expanding his family in unconventional ways.The Latest Development: Ashley St. Clair and the 13th Child
The newest and most sensational development in Elon Musk’s relationship history emerged in early 2025. Conservative influencer and author Ashley St. Clair publicly claimed on February 14, 2025, that she had given birth to Musk’s 13th child five months prior, placing the birth in September 2024. St. Clair, who is also an author and political commentator, stated that she was asked to keep the baby a “secret forever.” If confirmed, this child would be the fourth woman with whom Musk has fathered a child, further cementing his status as one of the world’s most prolific fathers. The claim has generated significant media frenzy, though Musk has not yet publicly confirmed the child or the nature of their relationship. The ongoing speculation surrounding the Ashley St. Clair claim highlights the constant public interest in the love life of the world's wealthiest man. Whether a romantic partner or another co-parenting arrangement, each woman in Musk's orbit plays a crucial role in the narrative of his extraordinary personal life, which continues to evolve as rapidly as his professional empire.Detail Author:
