“We are semi-separated but still love each other,” Elon Musk told Page Six on Sept.24, confirming that he and Grimes have called it quits after three years together. Elon,50, said that he and Grimes,33, “see other frequently” and that despite the end of their love, they remain “on great terms.” Elon chalked up the split to conflicting scheduled, noting that his “work at SpaceX and Tesla” requires him to spend time in Texas and overseas, while she works “primarily in LA.” The two co-parent their one-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii Musk, the youngest of Elon’s six children. When news broke of Grimes and Elon’s split, she hadn’t commented on the breakup.
