Grimes has reportedly moved on from Elon Musk with whistleblower Chelsea Manning.
Grimes has reportedly moved on from Elon Musk with Chelsea Manning
The 'Oblivion' singer clarified this week that she and the billionaire businessman "broke up" before it was revealed that they secretly welcomed their second child.
Grimes – who also shares 22-month-old son X Æ A-Xii, with Tesla CEO Elon – announced that the pair welcomed a daughter in December 2021 via surrogate in an interview with Vanity Fair.
The baby's name is Exa Dark Sideræl, though the pair are said to have nicknamed her Y.
Now, it's been claimed the mother-of-two is "getting serious" in her new relationship with 34-year-old activist Chelsea, who was imprisoned after she leaked classified documents to WikiLeaks in 2010.
A source told Page Six: “They’re getting serious. They U-Hauled it. They’ve been living together in Austin."
As well as confirming she and the Space X founder are no longer in a relationship, Grimes clarified that her newborn daughter's name is likely to change.
The music star, who intended to keep the birth of her daughter a secret, won't be revealing the new name to the public, as they want to keep their little girl out of the spotlight.
The 'Genesis' singer tweeted: "2 clarify a few things; I did this to speak abt my work, not ‘reveal all’ haha. Def held back a lot, contrary 2 headline. And didn’t mean for them 2 find out about my daughter so please respect her privacy as I’d love her to be able to live as private of a life as possible. (sic)".
When a follower asked about her daughter's name, she replied: ”This will most definitely change btw haha but it won’t be for public. (sic)"
Grimes added that she will no longer be doing "traditional press"
The experimental artist explained her daughter's unique name by describing how Exa refers to a supercomputing term, exaFLOPS, while Dark Universe represents "the unknown".
She said in the article: "People fear it but truly it's the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe."
Grimes described Sideræl as the "more elven" spelling of 'sidereal' – which she defined as "the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time."
The name is also a nod to the star's favourite 'Lord of the Rings' character, Galadriel.
Despite splitting up last September, Grimes had insisted she still considered Elon to be her "boyfriend" but described their relationship as "very fluid".
The pop star - whose real name is Claire Boucher - said: "There's no real word for it. I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we're very fluid.
"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."
Grimes also hinted that she and Elon want to have more children.
She said: "We've always wanted at least three or four."
