How it Ended

By September 2021, Musk revealed that he and Grimes were “semi-separated” due to conflicting schedules and living arrangements, though they continued to co-parent their son amicably.

Despite the split, they maintained a close friendship and publicly supported each other’s endeavors. In December 2021, Grimes announced the birth of their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, via surrogate. Both described their relationship as fluid and unconventional, emphasizing a shared commitment to their children rather than traditional romantic labels.
