Breakup Without Warning
Shivon Zilis confirmed that her more than five-year relationship with Elon Musk ended after he abruptly initiated their breakup, and she said it came “with no warning.” Zilis wrote on X that “It’s hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that’s just how it is sometimes,” and she described the split as happening within a week.
Zilis said she and Musk share four-year-old twins Strider and Azure, as well as Arcadia, 2, and Seldon, whose arrival was confirmed in February 2025. Zilis added that she believes she and her children were Musk’s “safe space,” describing a place “full of happiness and love, not war.”
Texts, Dates, and No Comment
Zilis posted a screenshot of texts dated September 24, and she wrote that she told Musk “Wonderful to see you at breakfast. I love you very much,” while Musk replied “Love you too.”
Zilis also said Musk told her he had not realized he could bring a companion to a dinner related to Xi, and she replied “Oh, that means a lot to me. Thank you.”
Musk has not issued a public statement about the breakup, and the accounts of his representatives not responding to requests for comment appeared alongside that silence.
Zilis wrote that she hoped she and Musk could be “great friends and coparents,” and she said she was “deeply hurting” over the end of the relationship.
Family, Work, and Public Reaction
Zilis described her relationship as a family environment marked by calm and stability, and she said she was “deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness.”
Zilis also said she was grateful for the years they shared and for the four children they have together, calling them “four beautiful little loves of my life.”
The breakup announcement drew attention after users noted Musk had stopped following her on X, and Zilis posted to put an end to the rumors.
Ashley St. Clair reposted Zilis’s message and added “You were warned girl. Hit me up sister wife,” while St. Clair also said “U got played girl.”
