Ashley St Clair shot back at Shivon Zilis’ Instagram post announcing a split with Elon Musk, calling the sudden breakup "karmic" and promising to be there if Zilis ever reached out.
Shivon Zilis and Musk share four children, the first of whom was born in 2021; the couple announced their fourth child in 2025, adding to a growing family that includes twins Strider and Azure from November 2021 and twins Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus from 2024‑25.
St Clair, who has a child with Musk, revealed their son in February 2025 and has since been cut off from his life, a process she says stretched over a month rather than a single week.
In her stories, St Clair urged that children should not be emotional crutches for broken men, and she criticized Zilis for secretly having children with Musk behind Grimes’ back, calling the whole affair a twisted form of karmic retribution.
Musk’s domestic saga has spanned marriages to Justine Wilson, Talulah Riley, Amber Heard, and Grimes, each partnership producing multiple children and feeding the public fascination with his private life.
With the breakup now in the public eye, Musk is expected to respond through his legal team, and a court hearing or formal statement from his attorneys is likely to follow.
