Grimes has two children!
The singer, 33, revealed to Vanity Fair in a cover story for the magazine's April 2022 issue that she and Elon Musk had another child in secret.
Grimes, the mother of 22-month-old son X A-12, whom she shares with Tesla founder Elon Musk, 50, told Vanity Fair that she and Musk welcomed a daughter via surrogate in December 2021.
According to Vanity Fair, the baby's full name is Exa Dark Siderl, but she's been given the nickname Y.
Grimes explained her daughter's unusual name to Vanity Fair, explaining that Exa stands for exaFLOPS, a supercomputing term, and Dark stands for "the unknown." She clarified, "People are afraid of it, but it is the absence of photons. Our universe's beautiful mystery is dark matter."
As per Vanity Fair, the third part of Y's full name, Siderl, is proclaimed "sigh-deer-ee-el." Grimes described sidereal as "the true time of the universe, star time, deep space-time, not our relative earth time," which she described as "the real-time of the universe, star time, deep space-time, not our relative earth time."
Siderl also serves as a nod to Grimes' favorite character from The Lord of the Rings, Galadriel, who "chooses to abdicate the ring."
Grimes stated Vanity Fair that she was "fighting" for Odysseus Musk's name for her daughter because "a girl called Odysseus is my dream," but she and Musk decided on Exa Dark Siderl instead.
Despite their three-year breakup in September 2021, Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Musk are back together.
She explained, "There's no real word for it." "I'd probably call him my boyfriend, but our relationship is very fluid. We each have our own home. We're inseparably linked. We see each other regularly... We're just doing our own thing, and I don't expect anyone else to understand."
She also expressed her happiness with Musk, telling the outlet, "It's better than it's ever been... All we need is to be free."
"We've always wanted at least three or four," she told the outlet of their plans to have more children.
