Grimes (real name Claire Boucher) sued Elon Musk in California for custody of three children on September 29. In the first lawsuit, the female singer did not request alimony from her ex-boyfriend.
After that, Page Six reported that Elon Musk quietly sued his ex-girlfriend from September 13. In the application, Tesla boss said that he was the only one taking care of the three children they shared since they were born. Elon Musk wants to be the sole legal custodian of his children.
Initially, Elon Musk wanted to mediate, but because Grimes did not agree, Elon Musk sent a petition to the Texas Court. According to Daily Mail, the child custody lawsuit aims to resolve child custody rights for two people who have children together but are not married.
In September, Grimes caused a media stir when she begged her ex-boyfriend’s assistant to see her child. “Tell Elon to let me see my son, otherwise talk to my lawyer,” the comment was later deleted.
Elon Musk and Grimes dated in 2018, after meeting each other through social networks. They announced their relationship at the Met Gala, USA. After many breakups and reunions, with three children together, they officially broke up in March 2022.
“Elon and I broke up again since this article, but he is still my best friend and the love of my life. My life is now devoted to art,” she said.
