Grimes and her partner Elon Musk have welcomed their first child into the world. Congrats! The art-pop musician and tech billionaire announced they were expecting a bb-Grimes earlier this year.
Musk shared the news in a relatively lowkey manner yesterday after being asked about it on Twitter, tweeting “A few hours away!” before following it up with “Mom & baby all good”.
Mom & baby all good

The baby boy is apparently named X Æ A-12 Musk, according to a tweet by the father. Earlier today, Grimes followed up Musk’s tweet about the baby’s name, revealing the meaning behind it and clarifying that it is, in fact, the child’s name.
•X, the unknown variable ⚔️
•Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence)
•A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent ?

Musk also shared a photo of himself holding the child, along with a picture with what appears to be an Instagram filter, showing the baby with face tattoos and extravagant eyelashes.

Grimes and Musk have been in a relationship since 2018. Grimes – AKA Claire Boucher – announced she was pregnant in January, taking to Instagram to share a photo which showed the electronic futurist’s abdomen with a Photoshopped embryo superimposed over the top. The electronic artist confirmed the news later in the month.
The musician’s last album, Miss Anthropocene, was released back in February of this year.
