SORRY
ILL SAY IT
I LIKE WHAT GRIMES NAMED HER DAUGHTER (the first name specifically. Not the rest of that mess)
I THINK “EXA” IS PRETTY
Grimes also shared the significance of her daughter's name and revealed that Exa relates to the phrase exaFLOPS, which stands for "the ability to do one quintillion floating-point operations per second." She added that Y's middle name Dark, is a play on the word "unknown."
The artist revealed they decided to opt for a surrogate due to fear that she would have complications, which Grimes said she endured during her first pregnancy.
For the unversed, Grimes and Elon had announced their separation in 2021 however, Grimes told Entertainment Tonight that they have reconciled. She asserted that their relationship is the "best it's ever been," because they "just needed to be free."
Explaining further she said, "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."
Notably, X was welcomed by Grimes and Elon in May 2020. Back in November 2021, Elon was spotted with his blond-headed son during a virtual presentation on the space company Tesla's new rocket. Musk, 50, has been divorced three times and has had seven children.
