Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk’s personal life has long been in the public eye. Reports suggest that Musk has 14 children with four women, including a 26-year-old influencer who gave birth a few months ago. In February, US-based influencer and author Ashley St. Clair claimed she had welcomed a child with Musk. There are also reports suggesting that the billionaire has been married multiple times. Here’s a look at Musk’s family tree, his 14 children, and the women in his life.
Married two women, but have 14 known kids with four different women
Elon Musk, who is 53 years old, has had a very Chaotic history with the women in his life, and some of them have spoken openly about the difficulties in their relationships with him. His biographer, Walter Isaacson, wrote that many of Musk’s relationships are filled with “psychological turmoil.
Elon Musk’s marriage to Justine Wilson
Elon Musk married Justine Wilson in 2000, and they divorced in 2008. They had six children between 2002 and 2006. Their first child, Nevada Alexander, died at just 10 weeks because of sudden infant death syndrome. Wilson later spoke openly about the pain of losing him.
However, according to Justine, in her essay, she felt “warning signs” about her relationship with Elon Musk. Musk often criticised her judgment and frequently overruled her. In her essays, she wrote that this behaviour stemmed from his “male-dominated upbringing” in South Africa. She recalled him saying more than once that if she were his employee, he would have fired her.
Talulah Riley: Married from 2010-2016 – No children
Musk met then 22-year-old British actor Talulah Riley in July 2008. They got married just a few weeks after he and Justine decided to divorce, at a London nightclub. Riley told Isaacson that she soon learned more about Musk’s hot temper and trauma, and that he told her, “Being with me can be difficult; this will be a hard path.” They divorced in 2012. However, there are reports that they remarried in 2013 and again separated in 2016.
Amber Heard: 2016–2017, no children
According to Isaacson, Musk and Amber Heard met at the 2016 Met Gala at a time when both were ending their previous relationships. From then they started a new relationship together. It was a difficult and unstable relationship and lasted for less than two years.
Amber Heard: 2016–2017, no children
Musk and Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, met again at the 2016 Met Gala, at a time when both were ending their previous relationships. They soon began a relationship of their own. It was a difficult and unstable phase that lasted for less than two years, but despite its short duration, it left a strong and lasting impact on Musk.
