Grimes Makes Rare Comments About Co-Parenting with Elon Musk

Grimes is giving a glimpse into her co-parenting relationship with Elon Musk.

In a post on X, the singer and songwriter, 37, shared a small glimpse into the lives of the three children she shares with the Tesla founder, 54. Grimes, who rarely shares information about her kids on social media, said their “pure aura is unmatched.”

“I try to never talk abt [sic] or show my kids because they deserve the right to anonymity but i just have to say their pure aura is unmatched,” she said, referencing her sons Techno Mechanicus, 3, and X Æ A-Xii, 5, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 4. “One of them even inexplicably commanded a flock of crows for while. Might be biased but this seems unusual.”

The mom of three then responded to some commenters below her tweet, giving some insight into her thoughts about sharing her kids’ faces on social media and her co-parenting relationship with Musk. One user applauded her for not sharing her kids’ online, adding that “using kids for clout is sh–ty af.”

In response, Grimes simply wrote “Agree.”

When another user asked Grimes if her kids get “screen time,” she responded that it’s a “huge debate.”

“Huge debate cuz the other parent is fine w it but it’s fairly avoided,” she wrote. “If it happens we focus on great art and ideally slower stuff like ghibli that isn’t constantly changing context.”

Musk and Grimes were first linked in 2018. They welcomed their first child together, son X Æ A-Xii (“X”), two years later in May 2020. The former couple went on to quietly have two more children: daughter Exa Dark Sideræl via surrogate in December 2021, and son Techno Mechanicus in June 2022.

In October 2023, Grimes filed a petition requesting to establish parental rights for all three children, according to online records viewed by PEOPLE. In November 2024, Grimes shared that she had held off on releasing new music because she had been involved in a custody battle with Musk.

Grimes voiced her frustration with Musk’s parenting several months later, after he brought the pair’s oldest child, X, then 4 years old, to the Oval Office. Soon after, Grimes shared that she wasn’t aware of her son’s public appearance and only learned about it through an X user.

“He should not be in public like this,” the singer wrote on X at the time. “I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
