Elon Musk’s wives: Inside the billionaire’s love life
Here’s how Justine has described the breakup:
”In the late spring of 2008, my wealthy entrepreneurial husband, Elon Musk, the father of my five young sons, filed for divorce. Six weeks later, he texted me to say he was engaged to a gorgeous British actress in her early 20s who had moved to Los Angeles to be with him. Her name is Talulah Riley, and she played one of the sisters in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice. Two of the things that struck me were: a) Pride and Prejudice is a really good movie, and b) My life with this man had devolved to a cliché.”
The actress who married Musk – twice
The British actress Talulah Riley captured Musk’s heart not once but twice. The 39-year-old St Trinians actor first crossed paths with Musk in 2008 at a London nightclub, and she was immediately captivated by the innovator’s “sweet” and “shy” demeanor.
The pair first married in 2010, shortly after Musk’s divorce from Justine.
Their whirlwind romance was marked by both intense passion and challenges, leading to their first divorce in 2012.
However, proving that some love stories are hard to let go, they remarried in 2013 only to divorce again in 2016. Riley has since spoken kindly of Musk, calling him “a great friend” despite their complex past.
”He looks out for me. We are in a happy place now, where we’re good to each other, which is really nice. I have the utmost love for him,” she said.
The couple lived together with Musk’s five children from his first marriage. However, Musk and Talulah Riley do not have any children of their own.
Secretive union with Shivon Zilis
In recent years, Musk has been linked with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, one of his brain-machine interface companies.
