Singer Grimes and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk have welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk.which she defined as “the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time.”
Sideræl has a double meaning, too, as a shoutout to Grimes’ favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel, who “chooses to abdicate the ring.”
The little girl was born via surrogate in December last year, Grimes revealed in a wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair, published on Thursday.
Although the 33-year-old Canadian musician apparently had no intention of announcing the birth of their second child, nicknamed “Y,” she shared the news after Vanity Fair journalist Devin Gordon overheard a baby crying.
Despite splitting up in September 2021 after three years together, Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Musk are back together.
She added that she and Musk are happy together, telling the outlet, “This is the best it’s ever been. … We just need to be free.”
She told the outlet that they plan to have more children too: “We’ve always wanted at least three or four.”
