Elon Musk and Grimes, after a tumultuous legal battle over custody of their children, seem to have reconciled, as evidenced by their recent friendly exchange on Musk’s social media platform, X. Grimes shared a clip from a video game where a character she voices performs onstage, prompting Musk to respond positively to the concept. This exchange contrasts with the contentious legal proceedings they were involved in last year.
Legal Battle Background
The former couple, who share three children, engaged in a legal dispute with dueling lawsuits filed in Texas and California. Musk sought to establish the parent-child relationship with their kids, while Grimes requested primary physical custody and joint legal custody. The legal skirmish extended to arguments over the jurisdiction for the custody battle, with both parties making accusations against each other, including allegations of attempting to evade court jurisdiction and using nondisclosure agreements.
Sealed Court Records and Current Status
By December, the court records in Texas were sealed from public access, leaving the current status of the case uncertain. Neither Musk, Grimes, nor their representatives have publicly commented on the custody battle. However, Grimes hinted at personal struggles in an X post, expressing a desire to keep her personal life private until matters are resolved.
Recent Developments
While details of their personal lives remain private, Grimes recently introduced her new partner, Matteo Milleri, also known as Anyma, a DJ. The couple has been seen together publicly, with Grimes sharing affectionate Instagram photos. Milleri, half of the techno duo Tale of Us, collaborated with Grimes on a song in 2023. Both musicians are scheduled to perform at the Coachella music festival in California.
Despite their legal battles and personal endeavors, Musk and Grimes’ recent amicable interaction suggests a potential thaw in their relationship, fostering hope for a peaceful resolution to their custody dispute.
