Grimes Offers Rare Insight on Co-Parenting with Elon Musk

Jan 23 2026

Grimes took to social media on Thursday, offering a glimpse into her life as a mother to three children with Elon Musk. The singer expressed her pride in sons X Æ A-Xii, 5, and Techno Mechanicus, 3, along with daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 4.

“I try to never talk abt or show my kids because they deserve the right to anonymity but I just have to say their pure aura is unmatched,” she posted on Musk's platform X. The comment reflects her desire to protect their privacy while celebrating their unique qualities.

In a whimsical note, Grimes mentioned one of her children’s unusual ability to “command a flock of crows for [a] while,” leaving fans curious about which child possesses this intriguing talent. “I might be biased,” she added, acknowledging her parental perspective while hinting at the extraordinary nature of her kids.

Responses from fans varied, with one user emphasizing the importance of keeping children out of the public eye. “People should never show their kids faces on social media,” the user remarked, sharing their own approach to discussing family online. Grimes agreed, reinforcing her stance on privacy.

When another follower commented that her observation was quintessentially “Grimes,” she humorously noted, “What’s hilarious is my dad also has an allegiant flock of crows.” This playful exchange highlights her lighthearted approach to parenting amidst the complexities of her relationship with Musk.

A question arose regarding screen time for her children. Grimes responded, “Huge debate cuz the other parent is fine w it but it’s fairly avoided,” referring to Musk’s more lenient stance. She emphasized that when screen time does occur, they focus on quality content like Studio Ghibli films, which offer a slower pace and rich storytelling.

Grimes and Musk's relationship has been characterized by its ups and downs since they began dating in 2018. Following their breakup in 2022, they have faced challenges in co-parenting, including a custody dispute where Grimes accused Musk of limiting her access to one of their children.

Recently, Grimes revealed that Musk had blocked her on X after initially following her. “For context I’m just living my life. He followed me then blocked me,” she explained, emphasizing that her primary focus remains on co-parenting rather than engaging in public disputes.

“I am not interested in public dramatics. This is so silly lol,” she stated, underscoring her commitment to maintaining a stable environment for their children. Musk, who has fathered 14 children with four women, continues to navigate the complexities of family life alongside Grimes.
