Elon Musk and Grimes are parents of two. Grimes, who welcomed son X AE A-XII with Musk in 2020, confirmed in an interview with Vanity Fair in April 2022 that the two had a second child, a baby daughter in secret in late 2021. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” Grimes said of why she decided to keep the news a secret. “I don’t know.” Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, went on to reveal that she and Musk have named their newborn, whom she described as “colicky,” Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.

She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.” Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Grimes welcomed their newborn via surrogacy three months after their breakup. “I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid,” she said of their relationship status. “We live in separate houses.

Lawrence told Vanity Fair in November 2021 that plans to keep her child’s life private. “If I was at a dinner party, and somebody was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re expecting a baby,’ I wouldn’t be like, ‘God, I can’t talk about that. Get away from me, you psycho!’” she said. “But every instinct in my body wants to protect their privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can. I don’t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence. And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.”
The Hunger Games star also revealed in an episode of the Naked With Catt Sadler podcast in 2019 that she met Maroney in New York City while taking a break from acting. “I definitely wasn’t at a place where I was like, ‘I’m ready to get married,’” she said at the time. “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully. He’s my best friend so I want to legally bind him to me forever. And fortunately the paperwork exists for such a thing. It’s the greatest. You find your favorite person in the planet and you’re like you can’t leave. So I wanted to take that offer,” she finished with a laugh.
