Grimes Sues Musk Over Parental Rights To Their Kids

Canadian singer Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk over a matter involving their three children.

She has petitioned a court to establish parental relationships with them, Dan Ladden Hall reported for The Daily Beast.

The case is essentially a request for a court order to identify the legal parents of a child and is typically used when the parents aren't married. Grimes has not requested custody rights or child support, which are often filed along with such a petition.

Musk, 52, and Grimes, 35, were never married but had three children together during their relationship, which began in 2018.

The couple's first child, a boy named X Æ A-Xii, was born in May 2020. The following year, they had a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate, although Grimes later stated that the child had been renamed "Y" or "?".

Last month, journalist Walter Isaacson's biography of Musk revealed that the SpaceX CEO and Grimes had also had a third child in secret. It's not clear when the boy, who was named Techno Mechanicus but is apparently affectionately referred to as "Tau," was born.

Musk also welcomed twins in 2021 with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. In a post on Musk's X platform last month, Isaacson shared images of the SpaceX chief alongside Zilis and their twins, Azure and Strider.
