Shivon Zilis says her relationship with Elon Musk has ended, describing the breakup as happening without warning. According to Zilis, she learned of the split suddenly, and she publicly addresses the circumstances in a statement posted on X.
All outlets report that Zilis and Musk share children together. The Independent and Quartz both say they have four children, with other reporting indicating they have been having children together since 2021. While the outlets agree on the breakup claim and the number of shared children, they differ mainly in framing: The Independent emphasizes that Zilis says Musk ended the relationship, while Quartz focuses on her account of the abrupt nature of the breakup and the details she shares in her post. Forbes similarly reports that Zilis says the pair have broken up.
The reports rely on Zilis’s statements; they do not include a direct response from Musk in the articles summarized here.
