Previous Marriages and Family Details
First Marriage: Justine Wilson
Elon Musk was first married to Justine Wilson, a Canadian author, from 2000 to 2008. The couple had six children together, including twins born via in vitro fertilization in 2004. Their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk, died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks old in 2002. Wilson and Musk divorced in 2008 after a highly publicized split, with Wilson later writing about the experience in her books.
After the divorce, Musk retained primary custody of their five surviving sons: Griffin, Xavier, Kai, Saxon, and Damian. The children have largely remained out of the public spotlight, though Xavier, who now identifies as female and goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson, has occasionally appeared in media related to Musk's companies. Wilson continues her writing career and has spoken publicly about co-parenting arrangements with Musk.
Second Marriage: Grimes
Musk's second marriage was to Grimes, the Canadian musician and visual artist, from 2018 to 2023. The couple has two children together: X Æ A-Xii, born in 2020, and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born via surrogate in 2021. Their relationship began after meeting at a Tesla event and quickly became a subject of intense media scrutiny due to their contrasting public personas.
Following their separation in 2021, Musk and Grimes engaged in a protracted custody dispute over their children, which was eventually settled out of court. Grimes has since moved on with a new relationship and continues her music career, while Musk has focused on his businesses and his marriage to North. The couple's children split time between both parents according to the custody agreement, though specific details remain confidential.
