Tech billionaire Elon Musk has allegedly become a father for the 13th time, according to recent media reports. The news surfaced after American influencer and children’s book author Ashley St. Clair revealed that she gave birth to a son five months ago following a romance with the 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO.
A Secret Pregnancy Kept Under Wraps
St. Clair, 26, stated that she had kept the pregnancy and birth secret at Musk’s request to protect the privacy and safety of their child. She now resides with her son in southeast Manhattan.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), St. Clair publicly announced:
“Five months ago, I gave birth to a new baby. Elon Musk is the father.”
She explained that she decided to disclose this information now because tabloid media were preparing to publish the story regardless, potentially causing harm.
Musk Yet to Comment
A spokesperson for St. Clair, Brian Glicklich, confirmed that she and Musk had been working privately on an arrangement for co-parenting their child. However, Musk has not yet publicly addressed the claims.
If true, this would bring Musk’s total number of children to 13, with four different women. His previous children include six with Canadian author Justine Wilson, three with musician Grimes, and two with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Surprise Among Musk’s Family
The news of Musk’s latest alleged child has also caused a stir within his family. His estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, reportedly discovered the existence of her potential half-sibling through social media and expressed surprise at learning about new family members in such a way.
As speculation continues, it remains to be seen whether Musk will officially comment on this latest development.
