00:00 Grimes is taking legal action against Elon Musk
00:03 over their children.
00:05 Per court records obtained by NBC News on October 3rd,
00:08 the Crystal Ball singer has filed a petition
00:11 seeking to establish parental rights
00:13 for three-year-old son, ex-Ash A12,
00:16 20-month-old daughter, ex-a-dark side-a-reel,
00:19 and son, techno-mechanicus.
00:21 It appears Elon, who split from Grimes in March 2022
00:24 after four years of dating, has yet to formally respond.
00:28 E! News has reached out to reps for both the Tesla CEO
00:31 and Grimes for comment and has not heard back.
00:34 The legal move comes nearly a month
00:35 after Grimes publicly confirmed she and Elon
00:38 privately welcomed their youngest son, nicknamed Tao.
00:42 Prior to the revelation, in a since-deleted post
00:44 shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, on September 7th,
00:47 Grimes also addressed executive Siobhan Zillis,
00:50 with whom Elon shares 19-month-old twins,
00:53 in their custodial drama, writing,
00:55 "Tell Siobhan to unblock me
00:57 "and tell Elon to let me see my son
00:59 "or please respond to my lawyer."
01:01 However, most recently, the Genesis artist noted
01:03 that she and Siobhan were able to move forward,
01:06 taking to X on September 10th, Grimes wrote,
01:08 "Hey, I would prefer to not breathe any more life
01:11 "into this current press cycle,
01:12 "but I want to de-escalate the narrative at the moment.
01:15 "I spoke with Siobhan at length, finally,
01:17 "which was long overdue.
01:18 "This wasn't her fault.
01:20 "Please don't be angry at her.
01:22 "We respect each other a lot
01:23 "and we're excited to become friends
01:25 "and have the kids grow up together."
01:27 She then added, "Women are so often pitted
01:29 "against each other.
01:30 "Speaking with Siobhan, it's very evident
01:32 "she's an amazing human
01:33 "and we both just want what's best for our kids."
01:36 Next, the songwriter reflected
01:38 on her and Elon's latest addition,
01:40 noting that she wishes she could show, quote,
01:42 "how cute little techno is,"
01:44 but that her priority is keeping her children, quote,
01:47 "out of the public eye."
01:49 Shortly after Grimes shared her message,
01:51 Siobhan responded with, "At the end of the day,
01:53 "it all ended up for the best.
01:55 "Thank you for taking the time
01:56 "to really connect and understand each other.
01:58 "So glad we had such a wonderful talk.
02:01 "Was insanely overdue.
02:02 "You are a total badass
02:03 "and I respect you very much as well.
02:05 "I can't wait for kiddo play date
02:07 "and congrats on baby Tao as well."
02:09 Elon also shares six children with ex-wife Justine Musk.
