00:00They say Elon Musk has conquered space, electric cars, and even artificial intelligence.
00:04But what if his biggest secret isn't a business empire, it's a woman?
00:08Rumors are swirling about a mysterious figure said to be Musk's secret wife.
00:11A woman so powerful and wealthy she could rival him in fortune and influence.
00:15Who is she? How did she stay hidden from the world's eyes?
00:18Let's uncover the truth behind Elon Musk's secret wife.
00:21The woman who married the world's richest man. Twice.
00:25When you think about the women in Elon Musk's life, your mind probably jumps to Grimes.
00:29The avant-garde musician who gave their children names that look like Wi-Fi passwords.
00:33Or perhaps Justine Wilson, his first wife and the mother of his six children.
00:37But there's another woman in Musk's romantic history who has a story so remarkable,
00:41so filled with twists and turns, that it reads more like a Hollywood screenplay than real life.
00:47Her name is Tallulah Riley and she holds a distinction that no other woman on earth can claim.
00:51She married the world's richest man not once, but twice.
00:54And then, in what might be the most civilized endings to any celebrity marriages in modern history,
00:59she divorced him twice, walked away with over $20 million,
01:02maintained a close friendship with her ex-husband,
01:05and went on to build a life that many would consider the definition of having it all.
01:09Tallulah Riley's journey from a 22-year-old British actress meeting a 37-year-old tech entrepreneur in a London nightclub
01:15to becoming what she herself calls Musk's perfect ex-husband,
01:18is a masterclass in grace, resilience and the art of maintaining human connection,
01:23even when romantic love fades.
01:25Born Tallulah Jane Riley Milburn on September 26, 1985, in Hertfordshire, England,
01:30Riley grew up in an environment that valued education and creativity.
01:34She attended the prestigious Cheltenham Ladies' College
01:36and later pursued a degree in natural sciences at the Open University,
01:40demonstrating early on that she possessed both intellectual curiosity and artistic ambition.
01:45Her entry into professional acting came at the tender age of 17,
01:49when she appeared in an episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot in 2003,
01:53marking the beginning of a career that would see her work alongside
01:55some of the most respected names in film and television.
01:59Riley's breakthrough role came in 2005, when she was cast as Mary Bennett
02:03in Joe Wright's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, starring opposite Keira.
02:07Knightley and Matthew McFadden,
02:09her portrayal of the awkward bookish middle sister of the Bennett family,
02:12earned her critical recognition and opened doors to more substantial roles.
02:16That same year, she made her stage debut in a revival of The Philadelphia Story
02:21at London's Old Vic Theatre, demonstrating her range as a performer
02:24who could command attention both on screen and on stage.
02:27Throughout the mid-to-late 2000s, Riley built an impressive resume
02:31that included roles in the British comedy St. Trinian's and its sequel,
02:35where she played Annabelle Fritton, the head girl at a chaotic boarding school.
02:38She appeared in two episodes of Doctor Who in 2008 as Miss Evangelista,
02:43a character that endeared her to science fiction fans around the world.
02:47She had a role in Richard Curtis's The Boat That Rocked,
02:50released as Pirate Radio in the United States,
02:52a comedy about a 1960s offshore radio station
02:55that featured an ensemble cast of British acting talent.
02:58But perhaps most impressively, Riley secured a cameo
03:01in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending thriller Inception in 2010,
03:05appearing as the blonde woman disguise for Tom Hardy's character Eames.
03:10While the role was small, being part of a Nolan film
03:12that would go on to become a cultural phenomenon
03:14and earn multiple Academy Awards nominations was a significant achievement.
03:19In 2011, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts named her
03:23a Brit to Watch, a recognition given to rising British talent
03:26that suggested Riley was on the cusp of even greater success
03:29in the entertainment industry.
03:31Musk's friend and SpaceX investor Bill Lee
03:33had organized this trip to London specifically
03:35to try to lift Musk's spirits and get him out of his own head for a few days.
03:40The trip had not gone particularly well up to that point.
03:42Musk had visited Aston Martin, hoping to tour the facility
03:45and perhaps find some inspiration,
03:47but the CEO had dismissed him as an amateur car builder,
03:50an insult that must have stung given that Musk was pouring everything he had
03:54into making Tesla succeed.
03:55He had also experienced severe stomach pains
03:57that were initially thought to be appendicitis,
04:00though they turned out to be stress-related.
04:02By the time they arrived at Whiskey Mist,
04:04Musk was not exactly in the frame of mind
04:06one typically associates with meeting the love of your life.
04:09A club promoter at Whiskey Mist had invited a group of young women to join them,
04:13including Tallulah Riley.
04:15In interviews years later, Riley would recall her first
04:18impressions of Musk with a mixture of amusement and fondness.
04:21She remembered him seeming quite nervous and shy,
04:24and she initially thought that he probably didn't often talk to young actresses,
04:28so she decided to be kind and ensure he had a pleasant evening.
04:32She later laughed at this assumption,
04:33realizing that Musk had probably spoken to many attractive women before her.
04:37But that initial instinct to be kind,
04:39to put someone else at ease,
04:41reveals something fundamental about Riley's character
04:44that would define her relationship with Musk throughout their years together.
04:47Riley was struck by how different Musk was
04:49from the other men the promoter tried to introduce to their group.
04:52While Musk showed polite interest in the conversation,
04:55he wasn't aggressively trying to impress anyone or showing off his wealth.
04:59What particularly stood out to Riley was that Musk asked permission
05:02before putting his hand on her knee,
05:04a gesture of respect and consideration that she found endearing.
05:08In an era where many wealthy, successful men
05:10might feel entitled to touch whomever they pleased,
05:13Musk's respectful approach immediately distinguished him in Riley's eyes.
05:17As the evening progressed, Riley and Musk found themselves deep in conversation,
05:20and it quickly became clear that they shared an intense intellectual chemistry.
05:25Riley described Musk as very charming,
05:27and the most interesting and eccentric person she had ever met.
05:30When they arrived at his hotel room,
05:32Musk pulled out his laptop and began showing Riley videos of rocket launches,
05:36not as some sort of euphemism or pretext,
05:38but because he genuinely wanted to share with her
05:40the thing he was most passionate about in the world.
05:43He showed her footage of SpaceX's launches,
05:46explained the technical challenges of orbital mechanics,
05:48discussed his vision for making humanity a multi-planetary species,
05:52and talked about Mars colonization with the enthusiasm
05:55of a child describing their favorite toy.
05:57Riley, who had initially thought come watch rocket videos
06:00was some sort of euphemism,
06:02quickly realized that Musk had literally meant exactly what he said.
06:05He wanted to share his passion for space exploration with someone,
06:08and he had chosen her.
06:09For some women, this might have been disappointing or off-putting,
06:12but for Riley, it was revelatory.
06:14Here was a man who was so consumed by his vision for the future,
06:17so genuinely passionate about advancing human civilization,
06:21that romance and physical intimacy took a backseat to showing.
06:24Some on the rockets he was building.
06:26This moment, this completely unconventional first date,
06:29set the tone for a relationship that would be deeply intertwined
06:32with Musk's work, his dreams,
06:34and his all-consuming drive to achieve seemingly impossible goals.
06:38Over the following days, Riley and Musk spent more time together,
06:41and what started as a chance meeting in a nightclub
06:44rapidly evolved into something much deeper.
06:46They went on what Riley described as a
06:48whirlwind series of dates in a single day.
06:51Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
06:52What happened next shocked even their closest friends and family members.
06:56After knowing each other for just 10 days,
06:58Elon Musk proposed to Tallulah Riley.
07:0010 days.
07:01Not 10 months, not even 10 weeks,
07:03but 10 days from their first meeting to a marriage proposal.
07:06They became engaged,
07:07and suddenly Riley found herself in a relationship with a man
07:10who was not only brilliant and ambitious,
07:12but also came with significant baggage.
07:14Five young children from his previous marriage to Justine Wilson,
07:18twins and triplets,
07:19two companies that were hemorrhaging money and might not survive the year,
07:22and psychological stress so severe that it was manifesting in physical symptoms.
07:27What Riley couldn't have fully understood at the time
07:29was just how all-consuming Musk's business struggles had become.
07:33During this period,
07:33Musk was experiencing night terrors,
07:36screaming in his sleep.
07:37Riley would wake up in the middle of the night
07:39to find Musk thrashing and shouting,
07:41his subconscious mind wrestling with the impossible choices he faced
07:44during his waking hours.
07:46She genuinely worried that he might suffer a heart attack from the stress,
07:49that she might wake up one morning to find the man
07:51she had just agreed to marry dead beside her
07:53from the sheer psychological and physical toll
07:56of trying to keep Tesla and SpaceX alive.
07:59But rather than retreat from this intensity,
08:01Riley leaned into it.
08:02She provided emotional support,
08:04helping to plow resources into his companies,
08:07during what she called a family-wide effort to keep them afloat.
08:10This wasn't just about being a supportive girlfriend or fiancé.
08:13Riley was actively participating in the all-hands-on-deck scramble to save Musk's companies.
08:19She integrated into his family life,
08:21taking on the role of stepmother to his five children,
08:23and tried to provide some stability and normalcy in what must have been an incredibly chaotic household.
08:29Riley described being actively involved in Musk's world of rockets and
08:33cars and things blowing up,
08:35emphasising that she found the environment stimulating rather than isolating.
08:38For a young woman with a background in natural sciences and an intellectual curiosity about technology,
08:44being immersed in the cutting edge of electric vehicle development and private space exploration
08:49must have been thrilling, even as it was also undoubtedly exhausting and stressful.
08:54One anecdote from this period perfectly captures both Musk's intensity and his underlying romanticism.
09:00On Christmas Eve, Musk realised he'd forgotten to get Riley a gift.
09:04For most people, this would be an embarrassing but ultimately minor oversight.
09:07You apologise, promise to make it up to them, maybe go shopping the day after Christmas.
09:11But Musk, in characteristic fashion, couldn't let it stand.
09:14He ventured out barefoot into the snow at midnight to fetch a bouquet of flowers,
09:18trudging through the freezing cold because he needed to do something,
09:21anything to show Riley how much she meant to him.
09:24When he returned with the flowers, he told her,
09:25I just wanted to show you how much I love you.
09:28As 2008 turned into 2009 and then 2010,
09:31Musk's business situation gradually improved.
09:34SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 1 rocket on the fourth attempt,
09:38securing a contract with NASA that would keep the company alive.
09:42Tesla secured additional funding and began production of the Model S,
09:45the vehicle that would ultimately transform the company from a niche manufacturer of expensive sports cars
09:51into a legitimate automotive industry player.
09:53The crisis had not completely passed, and there would be many more challenges ahead,
09:57but Musk had survived the worst of it, and Riley had been there beside him through it all.
10:02On September 25, 2010, Elon Musk and Tallulah Riley were married at Dornock Cathedral in the Scottish Highlands.
10:08The choice of venue was significant.
10:10Musk has fond personal ties to Scotland,
10:13and the intimate cathedral setting provided a romantic backdrop
10:16that blended Riley's British heritage with Musk's South African roots.
10:20The ceremony was small and private, without the media circus that typically accompanies celebrity weddings.
10:25For a brief moment, it seemed like maybe, just maybe, they had weathered the storm and were entering calmer waters.
10:31Riley had essentially paused her own career after their 2010 wedding to help raise Musk's children,
10:36moving into his Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles and taking on domestic responsibilities that many women her age were,
10:42actively trying to avoid.
10:43She was in her mid-twenties, an age when most actresses are trying to build their careers and take advantage of youth-oriented roles,
10:50and instead she was playing stepmother to five children under the age of six,
10:54while her husband worked 18-hour days and frequently traveled for business.
10:58In March 2012, after only about 18 months of marriage,
11:01Elon Musk filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
11:05The first marriage to Tallulah Riley was over, or so everyone thought.
11:09The divorce, the reconciliation, and the second marriage.
11:11When Elon Musk filed for divorce from Tallulah Riley in March 2012,
11:16it could have easily become another ugly celebrity split,
11:19filled with leaked information to tabloids, bitter disputes over money,
11:22and lawyers trading accusations in legal filings.
11:25After all, Riley was entitled to a significant portion of Musk's assets under California's community property laws,
11:31and she could have made the divorce difficult and expensive if she had chosen to do so.
11:35But what actually transpired was remarkable in its civility,
11:38and would set the stage for one of the most unusual post-divorce relationships in recent memory.
11:43The divorce was settled quickly and amicably,
11:45with Riley receiving a settlement of $4.2 million in cash and assets.
11:50To put this in perspective, this represented only about 0.6% of Musk's estimated $680 million net worth at the time.
11:58Riley could almost certainly have received much more if she had fought for it in court.
12:02California is a community property state, meaning that assets acquired during a marriage are typically divided equally between spouses,
12:09unless there's a prenuptial agreement specifying otherwise.
12:13And while there was indeed a prenuptial agreement in place that governed the division of property,
12:17Riley still could have pushed for a larger settlement based on factors like the brief length of their marriage,
12:22their standard of living during that time, and her contributions as a stepmother to his children.
12:27But Riley chose not to fight.
12:29The settlement was structured with an initial $500,000 upfront payment,
12:33followed by $900,000 immediately after her lawyers signed the judgment documents,
12:38with the remaining balance of approximately $2.8 million to be paid out over the next nine years.
12:44She also retained specific personal items, including a Cartier watch,
12:48a Gucci watch, some diamond jewelry, and her Tesla Roadster,
12:51which was valued at around $100,000.
12:54No ongoing alimony or spousal.
12:56Support was mentioned in public reports,
12:58and the entire process was handled with a level of discretion and maturity
13:02that is exceedingly rare in high-profile divorces.
13:05Musk announced the divorce on Twitter, now ex,
13:08with a message that was remarkably warm and affectionate for someone who had just filed to end their marriage.
13:13It was an amazing four years.
13:15I will love you forever.
13:16You will make someone very happy one day.
13:18Think about that statement for a moment.
13:20By July 2013, just over a year after their divorce was finalized,
13:24Elon Musk and Tallulah Riley remarried in a low-key ceremony.
13:27When asked about the decision to remarry, Riley explained that it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been spouses,
13:34saying,
13:34this is my husband, this is my wife.
13:37Oh wait, no, we're not that anymore.
13:38We'd better be that again.
13:39The remarriage seemed to be driven partly by habit.
13:42They had been married.
13:43They were still together.
13:44So being married just felt like the natural state of affairs,
13:47and partly by a genuine desire to recommit to each other and try to make the relationship work.
13:52It's worth noting that a separate prenuptial agreement was likely signed for the second marriage,
13:56as the original 2010 prenup did not apply to this new marriage.
14:00This suggests that both Musk and Riley were entering the second marriage with clear eyes about the possibility that it might not work out,
14:07and they wanted to have financial arrangements in place to make any potential future divorce as smooth as possible.
14:13For a while, the second marriage seemed to be going better than the first.
14:16Riley continued supporting Musk's ventures and family,
14:19and she had learned from the first marriage what the rhythms of life with Musk looked like.
14:23She knew he would work impossibly long hours,
14:25that his attention would often be consumed by whatever crisis was unfolding at Tesla or SpaceX,
14:31that family dinners and normal domestic routines would always take a back seat to the demands of running multiple companies.
14:36But acceptance doesn't make those sacrifices any easier to live with day after day, year after year.
14:42The old issues that had plagued their first marriage,
14:44Musk's demanding schedule,
14:46the challenge of Riley maintaining her own career while serving as stepmother to his children,
14:51the feeling of being in a relationship with someone whose first love was always his work,
14:55began to resurface.
14:56In December 2014, just a year and a half into their second marriage,
15:00Musk filed for divorce again.
15:02But then something remarkable happened.
15:04Seven months after filing for divorce,
15:06Musk withdrew the petition.
15:07He had changed his mind,
15:09or perhaps Riley had convinced him to give the marriage another chance,
15:12or maybe they had gone to couples therapy and worked through some of their issues.
15:15For several more months, they tried again to make the relationship work.
15:19Musk later told Forbes that they had taken time apart to test if absence makes the heart grow fonder,
15:24essentially conducting an experiment to see if their feelings for each other would strengthen if they spent time separated.
15:30The experiment failed.
15:31By March 2016,
15:33after six months of living separately,
15:35Tallulah Riley filed for divorce.
15:37This time, there would be no reconciliation,
15:39no withdrawal of the divorce petition,
15:41no remarriage a year later.
15:42Riley, who had just turned 30,
15:44had decided that enough was enough.
15:46The second divorce was finalized in October 2016,
15:49and this time the settlement was substantially larger.
15:52$16 million in cash paid up front.
15:55In addition to the cash,
15:56Riley received various other assets,
15:58though specifics are not detailed in public records.
16:01These likely included high-end jewelry,
16:03designer fashion items,
16:04and possibly other luxury goods from the marriage.
16:07Following the divorce,
16:08Riley owned and sold a Bel Air home in Los Angeles for nearly $2.4 million in 2017,
16:14which may have been part of her assets from the settlement,
16:16though it's not explicitly tied to the divorce in public records.
16:20Across both divorces,
16:21Riley received over $20 million from Musk,
16:24plus the various assets and personal items she retained.
16:27By any measure,
16:28this was a life-changing amount of money,
16:29enough to provide complete financial security and independence for the rest of her life.
16:34But what's particularly notable is that both divorces were uncontested,
16:38with both parties waiving their rights to appeal.
16:40There were no leaked stories to the press about Musk being a difficult husband,
16:44or Riley being a gold digger.
16:46There were no dramatic courtroom confrontations,
16:49or attempts to paint the other party in a negative light,
16:51to win public sympathy or gain leverage in negotiations.
16:55Instead,
16:55Musk tweeted positively about Riley following the second divorce,
16:59calling her an incredible woman who is kind, loving and beautiful.
17:02And Riley, for her part,
17:03has consistently spoken about Musk with warmth and affection in interviews,
17:07even years after their final divorce.
17:09Riley has said that she
17:10looks back on her time as a stepmother,
17:13and the overall journey with Elon with incredible fondness.
17:16She has emphasized their very deep love and connection,
17:19and has called Musk the perfect ex-husband who looks out for her.
17:22Think about that phrase,
17:23perfect ex-husband.
17:25It's not a term you hear often,
17:26because most divorced couples are decidedly not perfect to each other after their marriage's end.
17:30But Riley was describing a relationship where the legal and romantic bond had been dissolved,
17:35yet the underlying care, respect and friendship remained intact.
17:39One particularly telling moment that illustrates their ongoing connection came in 2022,
17:44when Riley sent Musk private messages encouraging him to acquire Twitter,
17:48now ex,
17:48urging him to fight wokeism,
17:50and viewing social media as a scourge being exploited for social engineering.
17:54But their post-divorce relationship hasn't been without controversy.
17:57During their marriage, Riley and Musk visited Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse together,
18:02a fact that came to light in public records and media reports,
18:06and raised uncomfortable questions about their connection to the convicted sex offender.
18:10Both Musk and Riley have provided differing accounts of the purpose of the visit.
18:14Riley claimed it was for a dinner,
18:15while Musk said it was unrelated to Epstein's criminal activities.
18:19In 2022, Riley was forced to publicly deny allegations that she had been procured for Musk
18:25as a child bride by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate,
18:28issuing a statement refuting these claims.
18:31The Epstein connection is one of the darker shadows
18:33hanging over Riley and Musk's relationship history.
18:36A reminder that even relationships that seem to be conducted
18:39with the utmost civility and mutual respect
18:41can still have aspects that are troubling when examined more closely.
18:45Riley has acknowledged that her perspective on Musk
18:47is incredibly subjective and biased by love,
18:50saying in 2024,
18:51I loved love the guy, so I'm incredibly subjective.
18:54You know what being in love is, right?
18:56After their final divorce was finalized in October 2016,
18:59Riley was faced with the question that confronts anyone emerging from a significant relationship.
19:04Who am I now, outside of this partnership?
19:06For eight years, from age 22 to 30,
19:09Riley's life had been largely defined by her relationship with Musk.
19:12Now, with over $20 million in divorce settlements
19:15and the freedom to chart her own course,
19:17Riley had to figure out what came next.
19:19Net worth and lifestyle of Tallulah
19:22Riley's current net worth of $25,
19:25$40 million, comes primarily from three sources.
19:27The over $20 million she received across her two divorce settlements with Musk,
19:31earnings from her acting career,
19:33including roles in films like Pride and Prejudice,
19:35Inception and TV series like Westworld,
19:38and income from her writing and directing projects,
19:41including book sales from novels like Acts of Love and The Quickening.
19:44The settlements represent the largest chunk of her wealth,
19:47but her career earnings and creative work have also contributed significantly to her financial independence.
19:52It's worth examining what Riley gave up or sacrificed during her eight years with Musk
19:57to understand whether the $20-plus million in settlements was fair or represents adequate compensation.
20:03Riley essentially paused her acting career after their 2010 wedding to help raise Musk's five children,
20:08living with them in California and taking on the day-to-day responsibilities of being a stepmother.
20:13She was in her early to mid-twenties during this period,
20:16precisely the age when actresses often see the most opportunity
20:19and when building career momentum is crucial.
20:21In 2011, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts had named Riley a Brit to Watch,
20:27suggesting she was on the cusp of potentially significant career breakthroughs.
20:31But instead of capitalizing on that recognition,
20:33she was changing diapers, helping with homework,
20:36and providing emotional support to a man who was working 18-hour days
20:39and experiencing stress-induced night terrors.
20:42The opportunity cost of those years is difficult to quantify,
20:45but it's not unreasonable to suggest that Riley's career trajectory
20:49would have been very different if she had remained single
20:51and focused exclusively on acting during that crucial period of her twenties.
20:55There's also the less tangible but equally real cost
20:58of being in a relationship with someone as intense and demanding as Musk.
21:01Riley has described witnessing Musk having night terrors,
21:04screaming in his sleep, and fearing he might have a heart attack from stress.
21:08Imagine being 23 years old and dealing with that level of psychological burden.
21:12Wondering if the man you love is going to survive the pressure he's putting on himself.
21:16What's particularly interesting is what Riley has done with her wealth post-divorce.
21:20She hasn't become a socialite who lives off divorce settlements and spends her days shopping
21:25and attending parties. Instead, she has refocused on her creative career,
21:29continuing to act in projects like Westworld and the 2022 miniseries Pistol,
21:34where she portrayed fashion icon Vivian Westwood.
21:36She has written and published novels including Acts of Love in 2021 and The Quickening in 2022.
21:42She wrote, directed, and starred in the romantic comedy Scottish Muscle in 2015,
21:47demonstrating ambitions beyond just being in front of the camera.
21:50Riley sold her Bel Air home in Los Angeles for nearly $2.4 million in 2017,
21:55marking a physical and symbolic departure from her California life during the Musk years.
22:00She eventually settled in the English countryside, returning to her roots and building a life that looks
22:04very different from the one she had as Mrs. Elon Musk.
22:07This suggests someone who values autonomy, creative fulfillment, and a sense of purpose
22:11over simply maximizing wealth or maintaining a high-profile lifestyle.
22:15Riley got engaged to British actor Thomas Brodie Sangster in July 2023
22:20and married him in a traditional ceremony at St. George's Church in Anstey, Hertfordshire on June 22, 2024.
22:27Brodie Sangster, known for roles in Love Actually, The Maze Runner and Game of Thrones,
22:31is a successful actor in his own right, but he's not a billionaire industrialist trying to colonize Mars.
22:37The couple now lives on a rural farm in Hertfordshire, where they raise chickens,
22:40bake sourdough bread, drink raw milk, and attend church.
22:43This lifestyle represents about as dramatic a departure from her Bel Air mansion days as one could imagine.
22:49Riley has described herself on social media as a promiscuous hobbyist, pursuing acting, writing,
22:54directing, and various rural activities with equal enthusiasm.
22:57She has embraced elements of what some might call a traditional lifestyle,
23:02though she is explicitly denied being a full tradwife in interviews,
23:06clarifying that she maintains independence and doesn't adhere strictly to traditional gender roles.
23:11Her Christianity has become more central to her identity,
23:14with Riley crediting it for providing moral structure in her life.
23:18Riley has reflected on having had three different relationships in a 2024 interview,
23:23her two marriages to Musk and her current marriage to Brodie Sangster.
23:26She noted a deep love and connection with Musk, but highlighted the stability in her new marriage.
23:31This is someone who has learned from experience, who has figured out what works for her and what doesn't,
23:35and who has the self-awareness to recognize that loving someone and being compatible with them as a life partner
23:40are two separate things.
23:42From a certain perspective, that's a pretty rich life, regardless of the specific number in her bank account.
23:47Riley is living proof that you can be involved with someone as wealthy and famous as Elon Musk,
23:51have that relationship end and come out the other side as a whole, healthy person with your dignity intact
23:57and your future full of possibilities.
23:58In a world where celebrity divorces often devolve into ugly public battles that leave both parties looking worse,
24:04Riley and Musk's ability to maintain mutual respect and genuine affection is genuinely remarkable.
24:09The story of Tallulah Riley and Elon Musk is ultimately a story about the complexity of human relationships,
24:15the difference between loving someone and being able to live with them,
24:18and the possibility of maintaining connection even when romance fails.
24:22It's about two people who tried, failed, tried again, failed again,
24:25and then figured out how to preserve what was valuable about their connection
24:28without the structure of marriage that clearly wasn't working for them.
24:31Or perhaps the lesson is simply that life is complicated, people are complicated,
24:35and relationships are complicated.
24:37And sometimes the best we can do is handle those complications with as much grace,
24:41honesty and mutual respect as possible.
24:43By that measure, Tallulah Riley and Elon Musk have both succeeded admirably,
24:47even as their marriages failed.
24:49And maybe that's worth more than all the billions in the world.
