This article provides comprehensive information about Elon Musk’s girlfriends and children, shedding light on his personal life. Throughout his 51 years, Musk has been associated with numerous partners, including two former wives.
Let’s take a look at the controversial billionaire’s complicated love life:
1. Elon Musk’s first wife, Justine Musk(2000 – 2008)
Justine Musk, Elon Musk’s first wife, was introduced to him while they were studying together in Ontario. Their love blossomed, leading them to tie the knot in 2000. The couple relocated to Los Angeles and welcomed their first child, Nevada. Tragically, the baby passed away from SIDS at just 10 weeks old.
During their marriage, Musk and Justine had five children together. They had twins named Griffin and Xavier, followed by triplets named Damian, Saxon, and Kai.
In an article published by Marie Claire, Justine referred to herself as Musk’s “starter wife.” After eight years of marriage, they went through a divorce in 2008, with Justine sharing her feeling of being treated as disposable by Elon.
2. Elon Musk second wife, Talulah Riley(2010-2016)
Following his divorce from Justine, Elon Musk embarked on a relationship with British actress Talulah Riley and they tied the knot shortly after meeting in 2010. And they divorced in the year 2012.
In 2013, Musk and Talulah remarried, making her once again Elon Musk’s wife. Musk initiated divorce proceedings, but later withdrew the request the following year. The couple stayed together for a while longer, but in 2016, Talulah filed for divorce. Reports suggest that they continue to support and speak positively about each other in public, maintaining a caring relationship.
3. Elon Musk girlfriend, Amber Heard(2017-2018)
Amber Heard? Yes, it is indeed true. Following the dissolution of his second marriage, Musk was observed in public with Amber Heard. This occurred subsequent to her tumultuous divorce from Johnny Depp.
Amber and Musk’s relationship was of short duration, lasting one year, and they appear to maintain a friendly connection. According to reports, Musk fulfilled Amber’s commitment to make payments to the ACLU, which were initially intended to be covered by her divorce settlement with Depp. It appears to be an effortless resolution, doesn’t it?
During her extensive and embarrassing court trial, Elon Musk’s girlfriend Amber disclosed that payments were made in her name by Musk. Surprisingly, Musk was absent throughout the proceedings and was not summoned to provide testimony even once.
4. Musk dated singer Grimes(2018-2021)
Grimes and Musk were pursued by the media as a couple at the 2018 Met Gala, following Musk’s brief involvement with Heard.
In May 2020, a son was born to them and named X Æ A-Xii. The choice of Grimes and Elon Musk for their baby’s name generated considerable attention in the headlines once again.
By September 2021, they had separated, although Musk revealed to Page Six that they maintained a positive relationship.
However, in December 2021, a surprising announcement came from Grimes, revealing the birth of another baby girl through surrogacy. Although they refer to their daughter as ‘Y’, her name is Exa Dark Sideræl. The most recent update on their relationship indicates that they maintain a ‘fluid’ approach to it.

Currently holding the position of director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, Zilis plays an essential role in Musk’s brain-machine interface company.

7. Elon Musk love affair with Nicole Shanahan
According to recent reports by the WSJ, the affair between Musk and Shanahan started in December. This occurred prior to the filing of divorce by her husband Sergey Brin.
Musk’s alleged involvement with Nicole, Sergey Brin’s wife, has resulted in the deterioration of their friendship. It is now stated that Sergey is in the process of divesting all his interests in Musk’s various companies.
Brin and Musk had maintained a long-standing friendship. Sergey provided Musk with $500k in funding for Tesla in 2008 when no one else was willing to do so, during the peak of the financial crisis.

The triplets, Damian, Kai, and Saxon, are currently 16 years old.
Regarding Musk’s children with Grime, his son X Æ A-12 is two years old, while his daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk is only eight months old.
