Here's a
comprehensive history of Elon Musk's relationships, from the late nineties to
today.
Justine
Musk
Justine
Musk, née Justine Wilson, was Musk’s first wife, marrying the tech wizard in
2000. The couple welcomed their first son, Nevada, in 2002 but lost him to
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old.
Elon and
Justine split in 2008, and she told Marie Claire in 2010 that her ex-husband
thought of her as a “starter wife.”
Talulah
Riley
Actress
Talulah Riley got engaged to Musk six weeks after he filed for divorce from
Justine, going on to marry the mogul herself in 2010.
The couple
hit a rough patch in 2014 when they divorced at Elon’s request for the first
time. The pair reconciled and remarried 18 months later, only for Riley to file
for divorce in 2016.
Amber
Heard
The SpaceX
founder then moved on to Amber Heard, dating the actress in late 2016, shortly
after the “Aquaman” star’s divorce from Johnny Depp.
They say
Musk and Heard linked up shortly after the actress’ divorce from Johnny Depp.
In fact, this dalliance nearly dragged him to the courtroom as a witness.
Lucky for
Musk, his lawyer was able to drag him out of the mess, keeping him away from
testifying. After his breakup with Amber, Elon revealed to Rolling Stones in
2017 that he was faring poorly since the breakup. He said he was “really in
love, and it hurt bad.”
She and Musk
split after just one year due to their intense schedules.

Grimes
Musk began
dating musician Grimes in April of 2018, one month before the couple made their
red carpet debut at the Met Gala.
Grimes,
however, confirmed that she and the PayPal co-founder were still dating in a
March 2019 interview with WSJ. Magazine.
Grimes and
Elon welcomed son X Æ A-12 in May 2020, engaging in a Twitter discussion over
the name’s pronunciation while the singer recovered from giving birth.
Shivon
Zilis
News broke
in July 2022 that Musk and Zilis, the director of operations and special
projects at Musk’s Neuralink company, quietly welcomed twins in November 2021.
Natasha
Basset
Following
Musk’s 2021 breakup with Grimes, he was linked with Australian actress Natasha
Basset, with rumours claiming that the two were “already in a monogamous
relationship”.
