The Tesla and SpaceX founder told the New York Post's Page Six that he and the Canadian singer are "semi-separated." But he said they remain on good terms, she still lives at his house in California, and they continue to raise their 1-year-old son together. "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," Musk told the Post. "She's staying with me now, and Baby X is in the adjacent room." The 50-year-old entrepreneur has six children from previous relationships; one of them died as a baby. He's been married three times, including twice to "Westworld" actress Talulah Riley. Grimes has not been married, and her son with Musk is her first child.]]> Sun, 26 Sep 2021 12:31:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Y6CmDXVC9uyXCtTQIoEmBiejEQ2Mq9rY
