BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk and singer Grimes had a turbulent romance over the course of their relationship. The two called it quits on numerous occasions before splitting for good in 2022. Elon Musk and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, began dating around May 2018.
After three years of dating on and off, the pair confirmed their split in September 2021. In an interview with Page Six , Elon revealed the two haven't fully broken up but are "semi-separated." "We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms," he told the outlet.
Their split was due to Elon's busy work schedule between SpaceX and Tesla. "It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or travelling overseas and her work is primarily in LA," he said. After the announcement, Grimes blasted the billionaire as "immature.
" However, in March 2022, Grimes told Vanity Fair that her and Musk have a "fluid" relationship. She said: "I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we're very fluid. "We live in separate houses.
We're best friends. We see each other all the time." But after the interview was published, Grimes took to Twitter to confirm that the two had broken up again.
However, in 2024, the two still seem to be friends via social media. Grimes shared a clip from a video game she is featured on, to which Elon responded: "Cool concept for an irl performance." The Genesis singer replied: "True - could be sick with project.
