Nicole Shanahan, wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin has denied rumours that she had an affair with billionaire Elon Musk according to a report by Page Six on Wednesday 27 July.

NICOLE DENIES AFFAIR WITH ELON MUSK

The Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife Nicole Shanahan. The publication also reported that the affair allegedly resulted in Brin filing for divorce from Shanahan. The alleged affair was said to have taken place in December 2021.

Brin provided Musk with a whopping $500 000 (R8.4 million) for Tesla when the company was struggling to increase production. This was during the Great Recession. Musk also previously revealed that he often crashed at Brin’s Silicone Valley home.

Shanahan has since spoken out and denied the rumours. She went on to call the report “defamatory”.

“Make no mistake, any suggestion that Nicole had an affair with Elon Musk is not only an outright lie but also defamatory,” said Shanahan’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman to Page Six.

This comes after Musk also denied the rumours and slammed the Wall Street Journal. 

He commented on a tweet of the report by Whole Mars Catalogue labelling the claims “total bs”. Musk went on to say that he has only seen Nicole twice in three years and when he did there were many people around. So, it was nothing “romantic.” Take a look…

“This is total bs. Sergey and I are friends and were at a party together last night! I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic,” he wrote.
