Singer Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, confirmed her new relationship with music producer Elijah Weinkauf by making their red carpet debut on November 12th.

Weinkauf, who also produces music under the alias VADAKIN, has been dating the "Genesis" singer for an undisclosed period. He has also contributed to Grimes' forthcoming album, PSYOPERA.
This public appearance follows Grimes' previous relationships, including a reported split from Italian DJ Anyma in August 2025 after they went public in 2024. Prior to that, she had an on-again, off-again relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk, with whom she shares three children: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Grimes has expressed concerns about her children's privacy.
Grimes has previously shared her commitment to protecting her children's anonymity, stating on X in January that they deserve privacy. She has also noted differing views with Elon Musk regarding public sharing of their children's lives. In March 2025, she indicated on X that she had attempted legal recourse and pleaded for privacy regarding her children's public presence.
