Grimes: “He Has Really Changed into a Different Person” – Elon Musk’s Wife Speaks Out Upset About Unexpected Family Secrets.

In a surprising turn of events, Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, the Canadian singer-songwriter and former partner of tech billionaire Elon Musk, has recently made headlines with emotional and candid statements about her ex. In a series of now-deleted posts on X, dated February 20, 2025, Grimes expressed deep frustration and distress over what she described as Musk’s transformation into a different person, alongside revelations of unexpected family secrets that have left her reeling. Her words have sparked widespread curiosity and debate, shedding light on the complexities of their high-profile relationship and the personal toll it has taken on her.

Grimes and Musk’s relationship has long been a subject of fascination. The pair first connected in 2018 over a shared interest in artificial intelligence, making their public debut as a couple at the Met Gala that year. Over the course of their on-and-off romance, they welcomed three children together: X Æ A-Xii, born in May 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl, born via surrogate in December 2021, and Techno Mechanicus, whose birth in June 2022 was kept under wraps until revealed in a 2023 biography of Musk by Walter Isaacson. Despite their breakup in 2022, the two have remained tied through co-parenting, a dynamic that Grimes has described as both fluid and challenging. However, recent developments suggest that the strain between them has reached a breaking point.

The catalyst for Grimes’ outburst appears to be a personal crisis involving one of their children. In her posts on X, she pleaded with Musk to respond to what she called a “medical crisis,” warning that their child could face “lifelong impairment” if action wasn’t taken immediately. “I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation,” she wrote, her tone a mix of desperation and exasperation. She further accused Musk of refusing to communicate, claiming he had ignored her texts, calls, and emails while skipping scheduled meetings. For Grimes, this lack of response marked a stark departure from the man she once knew, prompting her to lament, “He has really changed into a different person.”

This isn’t the first time Grimes has voiced concerns about Musk’s behavior. In recent months, she has criticized his decision to bring their son, X Æ A-Xii, into the public eye, including a notable appearance at the White House alongside President Donald Trump in February 2025. “He should not be in public like this,” she remarked at the time, emphasizing her desire to shield their children from the spotlight. Her frustration has only grown as Musk’s public persona has evolved, with his increasing involvement in political circles and controversial statements on X drawing scrutiny. To Grimes, these shifts seem to reflect a deeper change in his priorities, one that has left their family dynamics fractured.

Adding to the tension are the unexpected family secrets that have surfaced. Musk’s personal life has grown increasingly complicated, with revelations of additional children born to other women. In November 2021, just weeks before Exa’s birth, Musk secretly fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive. More recently, in February 2025, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair announced she had welcomed a child with Musk, bringing his known total to 14 children with four different women. Grimes has hinted at feeling blindsided by these developments, once tweeting in 2023 that she had been barred from seeing photos of Musk’s twins with Zilis until they appeared in Isaacson’s book. These revelations have fueled her sense of betrayal and disconnection from the man she once shared a life with.

Despite their rocky history, Grimes has previously spoken fondly of Musk, calling their relationship “the best internship ever” in a 2023 Wired interview and praising his leadership at SpaceX. Yet, her recent comments suggest that nostalgia has given way to disillusionment. The public nature of her pleas—made on Musk’s own platform, no less—underscores the depth of her frustration, as well as her belief that she has exhausted private avenues for resolution. Some fans have speculated that her decision to air these grievances online may be a last resort to provoke a response from Musk, who has yet to address her claims directly.

As of March 31, 2025, the situation remains unresolved, with Grimes’ words hanging in the air like a raw, unfiltered cry for accountability. Her assertion that Musk “has really changed into a different person” resonates as both a personal lament and a broader commentary on the unpredictability of life in his orbit. For now, the world watches as this unconventional family saga unfolds, a reminder that even the most visionary minds can leave behind a trail of human complexity and heartache. Whether Musk will respond, or if Grimes will find the closure she seeks, remains uncertain—but her voice, fierce and unapologetic, has undeniably cut through the noise.
