“Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique - peace out,” she tweeted, explaining her current relationship with Musk. In another tweet, she explained the meaning of The Mission, saying that it refers to “sustainable energy, making humanity a multiplanetary species and the preservation of consciousness.”

Grimes praised the work of the writer and the Vanity Fair profile, even if she had some issues with the headline, which claims to be “tell all.” “I did this to speak abt my work, not “reveal all” haha. Def held back a lot, contrary 2 headline,” she wrote. She also asked for privacy for her daughter, emphasizing that she revealed her birth by accident, because the baby started crying mid-interview. “So please respect her privacy as I’d love her to be able to live as private of a life as possible,” she wrote.

In the profile, Grimes discussed her music and some parts of her private life, calling Musk her boyfriend but emphasizing on the particularities of their relationship. “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 said. When asked about the possibility of having more children, she kept the door open. “We’ve always wanted at least three or four,” she said.

In February of this year, Elon Musk was linked with Australian actress Natasha Basset. The two were spotted on Musk’s private jet, in Los Angeles, but their relationship was never confirmed.
