Grimes is taking legal action against ex-boyfriend Elon Musk over their children, it has been claimed.
The Genesis musician, real name Claire Boucher, has welcomed three children with the Twitter owner, X AE A-XII, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus.
They called time on their romance last March, after around four years of dating.
According to multiple US outlets, the 35-year-old is suing her former partner, 52, and filed a petition in California to ‘establish parental relationship’ on September 29.
Rolling Stone reports that the contents of the paperwork are unknown, but the petition normally concerns a request for a court to establish who a child’s parents are if they are not married.
Elon and Grimes have yet to address the reports publicly, but the Tesla founder has been active on social media following the reports.
They first announced their relationship in May 2018, but they have since gone their separate ways.
The former couple found themselves in the headlines last month when it emerged that they had secretly welcomed a third child.
In 2020, they caused a stir when they announced the name of their first child, little X Æ A-12.
During a candid chat with Vanity Fair, Grimes accidentally dropped the bombshell that they expanded their brood at the end of 2021, via a surrogate.
Unveiling daughter Exa to the publication, she confirmed that they ‘always wanted at least three or four’ children.
Last month, it was revealed that the pair had reached their goal, secretly welcoming baby Techno Mechanicus together – Tau for short.
A new biography of the billionaire businessman announced that they had added Tau to the fold, but it is not clear when the little one arrived or how old they are.
The mogul is also dad to six children with his first wife Justine Wilson, welcoming Griffin, Vivien, Kai, Saxon and Damian together.
Their first son, Nevada, was born in 2002 but tragically died from Sudden Death Syndrome at 10 weeks,
In October, 2021, he had become a dad again after Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis gave birth to twins Azure and Strider.
Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Elon and Grimes for a comment.
