Grimes Shares Update on the Name of Her and Elon Musk's Daughter

The “Oblivion” singer revealed to Vanity Fair that she and Elon welcomed a daughter via surrogate in December 2021. At the time, Grimes told the outlet the child’s full name was Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and that they call her Y. However, the 35-year-old’s recent tweet makes it seem that perhaps their baby is now referred to by just the latter.

Although, this may not come as a surprise to some of their followers. After all, Grimes and Elon also have a 2-year-old son named X Æ A-12, whom they call X for short.

However, Y and X aren’t the Tesla CEO’s only children. He is also the father of twins Griffin and Vivian, 18, as well as triplets Kai, Damian and Saxon, 17, whom he welcomed with his ex-wife Justine Musk. Justine shared in a 2021 essay for Marie Claire that they had a son named Nevada, who died at 10 weeks old. According to court documents obtained by the New York Times, Elon also welcomed twins with Shivon Zillis in November 2021; however neither has directly confirmed the news to the public.

The revelation about daughter Y’s name comes about a year after Grimes revealed she and Elon—who made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2018 before breaking up and getting back together—parted ways again.

“Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha,” she tweeted in March 2022 shortly after her Vanity Fair interview was published, “but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique – peace out.”
