Elon Musk’s wives: Justine Wilson Musk 1st wife, and Talulah Riley Musk 2nd wife – their ages, images, children, Instagram, net worth, pictures, height, zodiac sign, etc.
Elon Musk is arguably one of the richest and most successful men of our time with a shocking net worth of $221.1 billion. Aside from being absurdly rich, Elon is a visionary, serving both as designer and CEO of companies dedicated to the future of transportation, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology.
Despite these impressive credentials, Elon Musk is a family man! His brood just keeps growing, and there is one thing that Elon Musk doesn’t seem to excel at: marriage. Divorced and currently in a relationship with his girlfriends, Elon was once married to two equally fascinating women: Justine Musk and Talulah Riley.
While Elon Musk once said that he would “rather stick a fork in my hand than write about my personal life”, he has since opened up about his desire to be in a long-term relationship and find his soulmate. He has spoken about how “going to sleep alone kills [him]” and that he “will never be happy without having someone”. While many things seem to come easily to Elon, loneliness is a struggle that has been with him since childhood.
In this article, TheVibely is going to share with you a brief biography about the women who captured Elon Musk’s heart, how he met them, how they divorced, and what’s new for his ex-wives.

Justine Wilson wanted to become a writer, a career far from Elon’s world of science and numbers. On one of their dates, she told him: “One day, I want my own books to go right there”. This ambitious passion further drew Elon to Justine, leading him to tell her that “. After Justine obtained her degree in English Literature, she left for Japan to teach English as a Second Language for a year. By this time, she and Elon had gone their separate ways.

Is Elon Musk Single? What’s Next For Elon Musk?
Elon Musk is not single. He is in a relationship with two women; Grimes and Natasha Bassett, as of now.
Elon isn’t one to remain single for long. Within the same year, he was dating American actress Amber Heard, who only just exited her marriage with actor Johnny Depp. Unfortunately, there would be no wedding for those two, as they broke up due to their busy schedules. Amber and Elon dated from 2017 to 2018.
In 2018, Elon started dating Canadian singer Grimes. Their relationship coincided with personal controversies: there was a lawsuit against Elon and Grimes was in a feud with Azealia Banks. Their relationship was confirmed when they attended the 2018 Met Gala together, though now it isn’t quite clear where they stand.
Page Six exclusively reported in September 2021 that Musk and Grimes had broken up.
Grimes clarified via Twitter when the interview was published that she and Musk had “broken up again,” writing, “He’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now.”
The SpaceX founder said last fall that he and Grimes were “semi-separated”, in response to rumors they’d broken up. She went on to release a song that some people interpreted as confirmation of the split, which Grimes confirmed in her comments to Vanity Fair, wasn’t the case.
As far as their current relationship status, Grimes said “there’s no real word for it.”
Grimes and the tech mogul had broken up after three years together. Now, the pair are back together in some sort of capacity. However, Grimes has revealed that they do not live together.
“I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time … We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it,” she explained to the publication.
She continued, noting that their partnership is “the best it’s ever been” right now. “This is the best it’s ever been,” she said of their happiness. “We just need to be free.”
Musk and Grimes have two children; a boy, and now a girl.
Grimes and Elon’s first baby, X, short for X Æ A-12, was born almost two years ago, in May of 2020. In Grimes’s recent interview with Vanity Fair, she revealed that her first child, X Æ A-XII, was with his father. Grimes and Musk’s daughter, Y, short for Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, was born somewhere in December 2021.
The on-again couple hopes to expand their family, even more, telling Vanity Fair that they have “always wanted at least three or four” children together.
He was most recently rumored to be dating Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
