Exes Elon Musk and Grimes both vacation in Portofino with sons
Elon Musk and Grimes have ignited speculation of a reconciliation after they were spotted vacationing in Italy with their respective sons. Grimes, the 35-year-old singer of “Genesis,” was seen leisurely strolling through the charming streets of Portofino with her and Elon Musk’s 3-year-old son, X Æ A-XII, affectionately known as “X.” Meanwhile, Musk, 52, enjoyed a meal with his older son, Saxon, 17, whom he shares with his ex, Justine Wilson. Interestingly, Grimes and Musk were only a few feet apart, with Grimes walking alongside their 3-year-old son as Musk dined nearby.
Photographs captured the father-son duo engaged in animated conversation with friends at a table adorned with tea and wine. Musk sat with his 17-year-old son, Saxon, while Grimes went for a leisurely walk. The businessman seemed engrossed in lively discussion, while his teenage son quietly sat by his side. Saxon sported a casual off-white t-shirt, mirroring his father’s plain olive-colored tee. Grimes, on the other hand, looked fashionable in a red dress with cutouts, accessorized with a spiky necklace, black boots, sunglasses, and loose waves of blond hair. Her cheerful toddler donned a light blue button-up shirt and khaki shorts, holding onto his mother during their stroll.
Although there were no photos of Musk and Grimes together, an eyewitness informed the Daily Mail that the former couple were staying at the same luxurious hotel. TheFantasyTimes reached out to both parties’ representatives for comment but did not receive an immediate response at the time of publication. In 2018, we exclusively revealed that Grimes and Musk had started dating. Grimes and Musk named their son X Æ A-XII, affectionately called “X.” Grimes also has a daughter with Musk, although she was not photographed during the trip.
According to a source in May of that year, the couple initially connected over a joke about artificial intelligence that Musk had intended to tweet but discovered that the Canadian musician had already made it. Two years later, Grimes and Musk welcomed their first child, X. However, the couple broke up in March 2022, just a few months after their second child, a baby girl named Exa Dark Sideræl, was born via surrogate. It is unclear if Musk and Grimes have rekindled their relationship, as representatives have not confirmed their current status.
In addition to his relationship with Grimes, Musk reportedly had twins with Shivon Zillis, a venture capitalist and former executive at Neuralink, just before Grimes gave birth to their second child. Musk and Grimes had an on-and-off relationship from 2018 to 2022. Following their breakup, Grimes briefly dated Chelsea Manning, the notorious whistle-blower, in the spring of 2022, but the relationship was short-lived. Musk, on the other hand, was seen enjoying a romantic getaway to St. Tropez with Australian actress Natasha Bassett in May 2022, although they reportedly split in July. Musk has a complex relationship history, having fathered 10 children with three different women – Wilson, Grimes, and Zillis.
