Riley was previously twice wed to Musk from 2010 to 2012 and then again from 2013 to 2016.

There appear to be no hard feelings between the billionaire and the St Trinian’s star as Musk congratulated his ex-wife’s engagement news when she posted it on X last July.

MUSK SECRETLY FATHERS ANOTHER CHILD

It comes after it was revealed Musk has welcomed his sixth child in five years.

The Tesla CEO Elon Musk secretly fathered his third child with the mother of his young twins, an executive at his brain-chip implant company Neuralink, according to claims.

Shivon Zilis gave birth to her third child with billionaire Musk earlier this year, Bloomberg has reported.

The newborn’s birth came after it was revealed that he and Ms Zilis, an AI specialist, welcomed twins named Strider and Azure in November 2021.

The arrival of the twins came just one month before the birth of daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, aka Y, whom Musk and his then-partner, Canadian pop star Grimes, welcomed via surrogate.

The name and sex of his most recent arrival with Ms Zilis are not yet clear, the New York Post reports.

In September 2023, Ms Zilis shared an adorable video on X of her twins running around, with one of them yelling, “I love you.”

The children were believed to have been conceived through in vitro fertilisation.

Musk, the world’s second richest man, has fathered at least 12 children — six of them in the past five years — including three with Zilis and three with Grimes, who is suing him over parental rights.

Musk has previously joked that he’s doing his best “to help the underpopulation crisis,” a problem he views as “the biggest danger civilisation faces.”

Musk last week posted a chart claiming that Europe is suffering from a “fertility crisis,” saying “Civilisation may end with a bang or with a whimper (in adult diapers).”
The controversial businessman also shares twins Griffin and Vivian, born in 2004, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, who arrived in 2006, with ex-wife Justine Musk.

The former couple’s eldest child, Nevada, tragically died at 10 weeks of sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.
