“Infamy Is Kind Of Fun”: Grimes on Music, Mars, and Her Secret New Baby With Elon Musk

When Grimes was pregnant with X in 2020, she had a clear sense of the boy he’d turn out to be. “I just had a vibe,” she says. “I was like, ‘I feel like he’s going to be a peaceful giant.’ ” She was right.

Grimes, meanwhile, used to get called “waifish” so often in profiles that she railed against it in a viral 2013 Tumblr post. The last month of her pregnancy with X, she couldn’t walk. “He was pressing on my nerves, so I kept collapsing,” she says. “I took a few steps and collapsed. It was kind of scary, because you don’t want to fall a lot when you’re eight months pregnant. So I would just crawl to the bathroom and crawl back or whatever.” At one point during the pregnancy, she thought she was dying. “Like, I hemorrhaged. It was scary.” She and Musk wanted more kids, but she feared serious complications.

Last fall, though, Musk appeared to confirm rumors that they’d split up. “Grimes and I are, I’d say, probably semi-separated,” he told Time, which named him its 2021 Person of the Year. He chalked this up to busy careers in distant cities. He was spending more time in Texas, where SpaceX operates its Starbase complex and Tesla is opening a new Gigafactory. Grimes was bunkered in Los Angeles with X and working on Book 1. Around the time of her daughter’s birth in December, though, she relocated full time to Austin, and that’s where I’m meeting her—on a sleepy neighborhood cul-de-sac 15 minutes from downtown, less than an hour by private jet from Starbase, and a short drive from the Tesla factory.

Close followers of Grimes on social media may recall that she was definitely not pregnant during the latter months of 2021. She and Musk used a surrogate this time, which in combination with the pandemic enabled them to keep their daughter a secret, right up until Y shared the news just now on her own.

That’s what they call her, by the way: Y. She’s got a full name, but this doesn’t seem like the moment to ask for it. If today’s excitement turns out to be how the world learns that X has a little sister, well, at least Grimes did it her way. – Source
