Elon Musk ‘semi-separated’ with girlfriend Grimes after three years, will co-parent their son

Entrepreneur Elon Musk and his girlfriend, Canadian singer Grimes, are "semi-separated" after three years together. The couple began dating in 2018 and welcomed their first child, named X Æ A-Xii, in May last year.

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla told media outlet Page Six that he and the musician will continue co-parenting their son, story published on Friday.

The publication quoted Musk, 50, as saying the pair will remain on good terms and are co-parenting their one-year old son. "We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms," Musk said.

"It's mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA," he added. "She's staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room."

According to Reuters, the spokespeople for Musk and Grimes did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The pair was last seen together leaving the 2021 Met Gala event earlier this month. Grimes had walked the red carpet alone but was joined by her billionaire partner inside the event.
