Riley had an interview with The Independent, where she discussed her sci-fi novel “The Quickening” and her relationship with Musk. “Obviously I understand it looks strange. But that logic made sense at the time,” she said when discussing their decision to remarry. “I suppose the reason to get remarried was just because it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married. You know, it’s like a habit. We were saying, ‘This is my husband.’ ‘This is my wife.’ ‘Oh, wait, no, we’re not that anymore. We better be that again.’”

Despite divorcing twice, Riley claims she has a great relationship with Musk, with the two sharing a “very deep love and connection.” “He’s a great friend. He looks out for me. We are in a happy place now, where we’re good to each other, which is really nice. I have the utmost love for him.”

When Grimes spoke of their relationship, she made it clear that while they aren’t together, their relationship is fluid and she left the door open for having more kids together in the future.

Riley has worked in series like “Westworld” and is currently starring in “Pistols.” She’s dating her co-star, Thomas Brodie Sangster, mostly known for his work in “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Game of Thrones.”
