The news of Musk’s new girlfriend comes just a few months after he expected his eighth child with Canadian musician Grimes in December. The couple welcomed their baby via surrogate and Grimes said they were back together after welcoming the baby, but the pair split up again. 

“Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story really well. Sique – peace out,” tweeted @Grimezsz.
