In Walter Isaacson’s new biography, Elon Musk, Grimes — a.k.a. Claire Boucher — alleged that her ex took a photo during the surgical procedure and sent it to their friends and family. Amongst those who supposedly received the image were Grimes’ father and brothers.

“He was just clueless about why I’d be upset,” Grimes said, according to People.

Issacson also revealed in the book that Grimes and Musk secretly welcomed another son named Techno “Tau” Mechanicus, who’s date of birth remains unknown. In addition to Tau and 3-year-old X Æ A-Xii “X” Musk, the former couple also share a 1-year-old daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, also known as “Y.”

Prior to his children with Grimes, Musk also fathered six children with ex-wife Justine Wilson, as well as 1-year-old twins with Neuralink executive, Shivon Zilis. In the biography, Zilis alleged that Musk offered to be her sperm donor but didn’t tell Grimes, who was pregnant with Exa Dark Sideræl at the time.
