Grimes previously revealed the reason why she 'wasn’t allowed' to see her child after her split from Elon Musk.

The 36-year-old Canadian 'Genesis' singer and Musk, 53, dated on and off for about four years from 2018 to 2022, and welcomed three children throughout their relationship; four-year-old son X Æ A-12, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, three, and other son Tau Techno Mechanicus, two.

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, gave birth to their first child back in 2020.

Musk controversially brought along his and Grimes' eldest, nicknamed X for short, to a press conference with Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday (11 February) - something that she was far from pleased about.

She took to Twitter to issue a statement on the matter, writing: "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."

Musk and Grimes were previously locked in a custody battle over their three children, which has since reportedly been resolved, according to Business Insider.

Grimes previously shared that she would not be releasing new music, due to how the custody battle had been taking its toll on her.

She wrote in a social media post that she had 'spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers' rights' as well as 'having my Instagram posts and modelling used as reasons I shouldn't have my kids'.

She added she was 'fighting and detaching from the love if my life as he becomes unrecognisable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/strategy experience)'.

Grimes explained how long she was without her children during this time of her life, sharing: "All the while I didn't see one of my babies for 5 months.

"And this is only what can be said publicly, since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors."


The musician went on to divulge that she can't 'go to court while having a young baby' to a follower who asked why she is choosing not to release music.

She wrote: "Because the threat of losing ur kids while going bankrupt fighting for them is not very conducive to creative thoughts.

"I just slept and cried every minute I wasn't explicitly fighting for my kids during that year."

Musk has had 12 children with three different women.

He welcomed six kids with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with Grimes and three with his Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
