Grimes has given an update on her relationship with her ex-partner Elon Musk – and despite sharing three children, it looks like things are still frosty.
For those not in the loop, Canadian musician Grimes, 36, was first linked to Tesla founder Musk, 54, in 2018, and in the years that followed, they welcomed three kids together; X AE A-XII, four, Exa Dark Sideræl, three, and Techno Mechanicus, two.
However, after an on-and-off relationship and multiple break-ups, as well as a custody battle and numerous social media spats, the pair are now focused on trying to amicably co-parent, but as we say, it doesn't all seem to be smooth sailing.
In February, Grimes issued a public plea on Twitter, claiming that Musk has refused to intervene in their ‘child’s medical crisis’.

X Æ A-12, often nicknamed X, appeared in the White House earlier this year alongside his father to witness US President Donald Trump sign a new executive order about Musk's previous position as Department of Government Efficiency co-lead.
This prompted Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, to issue a statement, claiming she had no idea Musk had plans to flaunt their son so publicly, being that he'd previously remained private.
After someone commented X's 'very polite' antics and called the toddler 'so cute', the singer replied: "He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh."
While she didn't reveal which child she was referring to, she then shared a tweet, which has since been deleted, asking Musk to intervene in their children's health, writing: "Plz respond about our child's medical crisis.
"I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention."
In a follow-up tweet which also appears to have been deleted, she added: "If you don't want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon."
And now, she's issued another update on the celebrity pair's co-parenting relationship.
The mother-of-three replied to a Tweet where someone pointed out she had unfollowed Musk, setting the record straight.
She explained: "For context I'm just living my life. He followed me then blocked me. I'm not gna be following and unfollowing. My only priority is co parenting, i am not interested in public dramatics. This is so silly lol."

Then, once her social media statement began doing the rounds in the news, she followed up with another Tweet, replying to an E! News article.
She wrote: "Calm down. I don't talk to the press. Stop making chaos."
Tyla has contacted a representative for Musk for comment.
