In a recent social media post, Canadian musician Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, shared candid insights into her tumultuous relationship with tech billionaire Elon Musk. The artist, who is the mother of three of Musk’s children, described her former partner as “unrecognizable” due to the strain of their ongoing legal battles and personal differences.
Grimes revealed that she has spent the past year embroiled in a bitter custody dispute over their children, during which her social media activity was used against her. She expressed that the experience has been profoundly challenging, stating, “Having babies rips you apart and puts you back together. Babies are ten thousand philosophy classes of s*** you can only learn from that experience.”
Despite the hardships, Grimes remains focused on her creative endeavors, noting that she has never been better in her life. She emphasized that much of her recent experiences should remain private, but her public statements have shed light on the emotional toll of her separation from Musk.

The custody battle, which has now been resolved, highlighted the complexities of their relationship and the impact on their family. Grimes’ openness about her struggles has resonated with many, offering a glimpse into the personal challenges faced by high-profile individuals.
