LEARN all about Elon Musk and Grimes’ relationship, including how long they have been together.
Deep dive into the billionaire and the musician’s interesting relationship.
Who is Grimes?
Grimes, 33, is a singer-songwriter from Vancouver.
She is of Québécois and Ukrainian and her real name is Claire Elise Boucher.
Her mother, Sandy Garossino, is a former Crown prosecutor and used to own three Metro Vancouver taxi companies.
She began writing music and posting it on MySpace in 2007.
The name Grimes came from the fact that Myspace allowed you to list three musical genres and she listed Grime for all three before she knew what it was.
Grimes first shot to fame in 2012 with her album Visions which was followed by the equally successful Art Angels.
How long have Elon Musk and Grimes been together?
Grimes reportedly started dating Elon Musk in March, 2018.
The couple made their debut at the Met Gala in May 2018.
Around this time Elon tweeted praise for Grime’s self-directed music video for the song Venus Fly.
He wrote: “Best music video art I’ve seen in a while.” about the track which features Janelle Monae.
In 2015, Elon reached out to Grimes after they bonded over a joke about artificial intelligence on Twitter.
What did Grimes and Elon Musk name their baby?
Grimes first announced she was pregnant back in January 2020.
She revealed the news with a picture of her posing in a blazer which reveals her growing stomach.
On May 5, 2020, the pair announced the arrival of their little boy.
The pair initially named their newborn child X Æ A-12, Musk’s sixth child.
The name appeared to be partially inspired by one of the songs from 33-year-old Grimes’ last album – 4ÆM.
Unfortunately for the couple, the name was not in accordance with California state law, as the law prohibits Indo-Arabic numerals in names.

To comply with the law, they changed the name to X Æ A-Xii.
Grimes announced she was pregnant in January of 2020, and Musk had previously said the baby was expected to arrive Monday, May 4.
“Mom & baby all good,” Musk wrote in a short Twitter post on Monday, May 4 2020.
