Tesla billionaire Elon Musk and his on-again-off-again partner Grimes have secretly welcomed a second child via surrogate, a baby girl named Exa Dark Sideræl, or ‘Y’ for short, the singer has revealed.
The 33-year-old musician spoke out about the couple’s newest arrival in an interview with Vanity Fair this week, sharing that their daughter was born in December, while opening up about the origins of her unique name.
According to the singer, the newborn’s quirky first name, Exa, was inspired by the supercomputing term exaFLOPS, which is ‘the ability to perform one quintillion floating-point operations per second’, while her second name Dark, is a nod to dark matter and ‘the unknown’.
‘People fear it but truly it’s the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe,’ she told the magazine.
Finally, Sideræl, which is pronounced sigh-deer-ee-el, is a ‘more elven spelling’ of sidereal, which Grimes described as ‘the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time’.
Their daughter’s third name is also a reference to Grimes’ favorite Lord of the Rings character, the elf Galadriel.
The couple will call their baby daughter ‘Y’ for short, following the trend they started with the arrival of their first-born child, son X Æ A-12, who Grimes gave birth to in May 2020, and whom she and Elon call ‘X’.
Surprise! Tesla billionaire Elon Musk and his on-again-off-again partner Grimes have secretly welcomed a second child, a baby girl, via surrogate, the singer revealed in a new interview
The 33-year-old singer, who already has a baby son, X Æ A-12 (pictured) with Elon, 50, shared that the couple has named the newborn Exa Dark Sideræl, or ‘Y’ for short
However the couple were forced to change the spelling of their son’s name in order to comply with California law, which prohibits the use of any numbers of symbols in a name.
Instead, they revealed just a few weeks after the baby was born that his birth certificate would be registered under the name X AE A-Xii – using the Roman numeral version of the number ’12’ and changing the character æ to AE.
If Elon and Grimes choose to register their newborn daughter’s birth certificate in Texas, they will have to alter the spelling of her name, removing the symbol æ once again in order to comply with state regulations, which only allow English characters to be used in a name.
Grimes conceded to Vanity Fair that the couple’s unique choice of names are not to everyone’s tastes, admitting that she is prepared for her daughter to one day try and change her name.
In the meantime, the baby girl has already been given a few alternatives, with the singer revealing that she and Elon also refer to their daughter as Sailor Mars, which was inspired by the manga cartoon, Sailor Moon.
The musician added that she had chosen ‘dream’ name for her daughter, Odysseus, before the couple settled on their chosen moniker.
Grimes’ surprise baby announcement comes less than six months after the couple reportedly split up, having been dating for three years.
Speaking about the current status of their relationship, the singer described it as ‘fluid’, explaining that while she ‘would probably refer to [Elon] as her boyfriend’, the couple do not currently live together and each ‘have their own thing going on’.
While the couple do not live together, Grimes relocated in December from her home in Los Angeles to a property in Austin, Texas, where she is currently residing in a ‘sleepy neighborhood cul-de-sac’ that is located ‘a short drive’ away from Tesla’s factory.

According to Grimes, her relationship with Elon (seen with his son), is ‘the best it’s ever been’

‘I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid,’ she said.
‘We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time…. We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.
‘This is the best it’s ever been…. We just need to be free.’
According to Grimes, the couple are hoping to have more children in the future – ‘at least three of four’ – and she noted that X and Y are currently splitting their time between their parents’ homes.
At the time of her Vanity Fair interview, which took place at her new Texas home, Grimes noted that her son was spending time with his father, while she was caring for their newborn daughter.
It is currently unclear where exactly Elon is living; he announced last year that he was ‘selling almost all physical possessions’, including several California properties amounting to more than $100 million – and $15 billion worth of Tesla stock.
He purportedly then moved into a 75-square-foot $50,000 ‘Tiny House’ close to SpaceX’s HQ in Austin, which is close to where Grimes is currently living.
Describing her role in her son’s life, Grimes said that she has taken responsibility for ‘handling his creative stuff’, while she notes that Elon ‘really sees [X] as a protégé’.

The Tesla founder (pictured with his triplets, who were born in 2006), split from his first wife Justine in 2008 and soon after began dating Talulah, whom he married and divorced twice

Although the singer did not explain exactly why she and Elon chose to welcome their second child via surrogate, she revealed that she struggled with some severe health issues in the final month of her pregnancy with X, explaining that she was left unable to walk because her unborn son was ‘pressing on her nerves’, causing her to keep collapsing.
She also suffered from a ‘scary’ hemorrhage that was so severe, the singer believed she was going to die.
As well as his two children with Grimes, billionaire SpaceX founder Elon is also father to five son with his first wife Justine, whom he divorced in 2008 after eight years of marriage.
The former couple share twins Griffin and Xavier, born in 2004, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, born in 2006; all five of the children were conceived via IVF.
They also welcomed a baby boy named Nevada in 2002, but the newborn tragically died of sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.
Following his split from Justine, Elon began dating British actress Talulah Riley, whom he married and divorced a total of two times within six years.
Grimes said in her interview that X was spending time with Elon, who as of last year is said to be living in a 75-square-foot $50,000 ‘Tiny House’ close to SpaceX’s HQ, like the one seen
Elon said last year that he was ‘selling almost all physical possessions’, including several California properties amounting to more than $100 million and $15 billion worth of Tesla stock
Talulah, who was a virgin when she began dating Elon in 2008, first tied the knot with the Tesla billionaire in 2010, however their first marriage broke down and ended in 2012, when she reportedly walked away with $16 million as part of their divorce settlement.
By the following summer they had remarried but then in December 2014 she sued for divorce a second time, only to withdraw her lawsuit the following year.
Then, in March 2016, Talulah, now 36, filed for divorce a third time and the pair split permanently; the couple did not have any children together.
Grimes is determined to keep her daughter’s life as private as possible – unlike her son X who has been featured numerous times on his father’s social media accounts, and has been seen out in public with his parents on several occasions.
The singer notes that her son ‘is just out there’, largely because Elon has been ‘bringing him to everything’, however she is eager to ensure that her daughter will not have to face the same public scrutiny, even stating that ‘the best situation’ for the parents would be for ‘her to train the girl’ and for ‘him to train the boy’.
Elon’s five other children with ex-wife Justine have largely managed to remain out of the spotlight, although it was revealed in 2018 that all of boys were being educated at a radical, ultra-exclusive school set up by the Tesla founder at his SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
