Billionaire Elon Musk, 50, has been pictured holidaying with his new Sydney-born actress girlfriend, 27 – months after quietly sparking up a romance.
Elon Musk has been pictured on holiday in Saint-Tropez with his new girlfriend, Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
The couple laughed and chatted as they enjoyed a meal at the Cheval Blanc hotel in the French coastal town.
The luxurious hotel costs upward of $1300 a night.
It’s believed Musk, 50, began dating Bassett, 27, in February this year, although they’ve kept a relatively low profile since then.

The Australian actress has reportedly already met her boyfriend’s mum, Maye Musk, with the trio attending multiple events during the Cannes film festival, where Bassett’s new film Elvis premiered.
In the Baz Luhrmann biopic, Bassett plays the singer’s first girlfriend, Dixie Locke.
She hit the Cannes red carpet with co-stars Austin Butler, Olivia DeJonge, Tom Hanks and Elvis Presley’s widow, Priscilla Presley, at the premiere.
Bassett, who moved to New York when she was 19, has been working in the industry for more than a decade and previously appeared as Britney Spears in a 2017 biopic.
In December, the world’s richest person welcomed his second child, Exa Dark Sideræl, with ex-girlfriend Grimes via surrogate, although their relationship ended two months earlier.
The two also share a son, X Æ A-Xii i, born in May 2020.
Musk previously dated Amber Heard.
The Tesla founder weighed in on his ex-girlfriend’s legal battle with Johnny Depp recently, as the jury started deliberations after closing arguments were presented in court.
Musk, who allegedly dated Heard while she was married to Depp, tweeted about the Hollywood stars’ high-profile trial on Saturday.
“I hope they both move on. At their best, they are each incredible,” he tweeted.
Musk was accused by Depp of having a threesome with model Cara Delevingne and Heard in his LA home while he was away filming – a claim the billionaire has denied.
Musk also became a talking point in the trial when Depp’s former agent Christian Carino took the stand.
Mr Carino, who was formerly engaged to Lady Gaga, was asked if Musk and Heard were dating in 2016.
“I don’t know if they were dating, but they have definitely spent some time together,” he said.
Heard and Musk met on the set of the 2013 Robert Rodriguez film Machete Kills, but the pair claimed they were nothing more than friends until they both finalised their divorces in 2016 and 2017.
Rumours sparked again in August 2017 that the pair’s alleged year-long romance had ended.
Musk confirmed the speculation shortly after, telling fans the break-up was amicable.
