GRIMES stunned her fans worldwide on Thursday with the news that she had secretly welcomed a second child with Elon Musk.
The singer - who gave birth to son X Æ A-Xii in 2020 - revealed to Vanity Fair that the couple's baby girl Exa Dark Sideræl Musk was born last December via surrogate.
Adding to fans' shock was the fact that Grimes - born Claire Elise Boucher - and Tesla founder Musk had announced their split just months before the birth.
Explaining the meaning behind her daughter's name Grimes told the publication via text: “It’s fire”, adding: “Her full name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.” She will be known as Y, Grimes confirmed.
According to Vanity Fair, Exa refers to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS, while Dark refers to “the unknown.”
“People fear it but truly it’s the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe,” Grimes explained.

Sideræl, which Grimes pronounced “sigh-deer-ee-el,” is a “more elven” spelling of sidereal, the “true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time,” the singer added.
According to Grimes, the name choice also references her favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel, who she noted “chooses to abdicate the ring.”
The Kill V Maim singer also revealed that the pair want more kids, telling Vanity Fair that they’ve “always wanted at least three or four.”
Initially, Grimes confirmed to the publication that she was back with the Tesla boss; however, the singer later revealed on social media that she and Musk have split 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,” Grimes tweeted Thursday.
“I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique – peace out.”
SEMI-SEPARATED
Last September the pair announced they were "semi separated" after Grimes said Musk had been "very immature on Twitter".
“We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently, and are on great terms,” Elon told Page Six at the time.
“It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA."
The couple, who started dating in 2018, announced they were pregnancy with their first child together in January of 2020.
They had made their debut at the Met Gala in May 2018.
COMPLICATED PREGNANCY
Grimes said she had hemorrhaged during her pregnancy and was left "crawling" to the bathroom.
Shortly after the birth pf the their first child she was "recovering from surgery and barely alive."
That came after Musk pointed out she had misspelled the precursor to the couple's "favorite aircraft".
Just four days before she went into labor, the SpaceX founder tweeted: "Grimes is mad at me" after he wrote that he was selling almost all of his physical possessions.
Then in July last year, the couple had a very public falling out when the Tesla magnate announced that "pronouns suck."
ONLINE SPAT
Less than impressed by his bold social media statement, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, replied: "I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic].
"I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn't your heart.”
Although the artist quickly deleted the reply, Musk unfollowed his girlfriend the following day.
But apparently, the pair were able to work things out as he re-followed her just seven hours later.
Musk also reportedly angered her mom Sandy Garossino when he encouraged followers to "take the red pill", a phrase used by the far right to signify a political awakening.
THIRD MARRIAGE
Tech billionaire Musk already has five sons with with his former wife, Justine Wilson.
Grimes and Musk had initially named their son X Æ A-12.
The name appeared to be partially inspired by one of the songs from 33-year-old Grimes' last album – 4ÆM.
Unfortunately for the pair, the name was not in accordance with California state law, as the law prohibits Indo-Arabic numerals in names.
To comply with the law, they changed the name to X Æ A-Xii.
In an interview for Joe Rogan's podcast, Musk revealed the pronunciation of his son's name.
He told Rogan that it is pronounced X-Ash-A-Twelve.
After he and his first wife divorced, Musk married English actress Talulah Riley in 2010 and remarried her in 2013 after the pair briefly divorced in 2012.
