The baby joins the couple's other two children X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, and the 52-year-old Tesla CEO welcomed their first child, X Æ A-Xii, together in 2020.
Last year, Grimes, 35, told Vanity Fair their second child, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, was born via surrogate in December 2021.
Musk previously gave credit to Grimes, who “mostly came up with the name" of their first child. "She's great at names," and said "babies are awesome. They're little love bugs."
