Grimes Clarifies Elon Musk Split: ‘I Bounced, Didn’t Get Dumped,’ and Has ‘No Regrets’

Grimes is setting the record straight about her breakup with Elon Musk, emphasizing that she was the one who ended the relationship.

The singer, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, responded to a Tweet directed at her by fellow musician Azealia Banks via X (formerly Twitter).

“I didn’t ‘get dumped.’ I bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me, I’m in love. No regrets. Life is as beautiful as u want it to be,” Grimes, 35, wrote.

Despite their past public feud, Grimes extended goodwill to Banks, adding, “Ur insanely talented. Even after all this, I want u to win. God bless Mlady.”

Grimes and Musk, 52, were together for four years before their split in 2022. During their relationship, they welcomed three children: son X Æ A-Xii, 4, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and son Techno Mechanicus, 2.

Since their separation, the former couple has faced a contentious custody battle, with both parties navigating co-parenting while maintaining high-profile careers.

Grimes and Musk’s relationship was often a topic of fascination due to their distinct public personas—Grimes as an avant-garde artist and musician and Musk as the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX. Their union, which began in 2018 after they connected over Twitter, saw a mix of public support and scrutiny.

Despite their differences, Grimes has previously expressed her admiration for Musk's intellect and ambition, while Musk has spoken about their shared values and creativity. However, the pressures of their respective careers and public lives ultimately took a toll on their relationship.

Grimes’ recent comments highlight her focus on personal happiness and family, proving that she’s moving forward on her own terms while ensuring a supportive and loving environment for her children.
