Grimes has been in the limelight for all things personal. The Canadian singer-songwriter and producer was widely known for being in a relationship with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. The duo reportedly began dating in 2018. While they were together, Grimes and Elon welcomed three children. After being in a relationship for over four years, the duo split in 2022.
It seems that Grimes has clearly moved on from her relationship with the billionaire. According to reports, she is currently dating producer Elijah Weinkauf.
Grimes and Elijah Weinkauf fell in love after collaborating on music together
Grimes is hard-launching her new relationship with Elijah Weinkauf, who produces music under the name VADAKIN. The couple was photographed on a date on the red carpet at Amazon MGM Studios’ Blade Runner 2099 premiere. The event took place in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 12, 2026. For the unversed, Elijah co-produced Grimes’ highly anticipated album PSYOPERA.
A source close to the pair told PEOPLE that Grimes and Elijah have been dating for “some time.” They further claimed that the two fell in love while working together on the new album. The source was quoted as saying:
“The couple has been producing and songwriting together for a couple of years. They fell in love while working on this new album together. He literally helped Grimes find her groove again.”
As per the source, Grimes and Elijah Weinkauf are a truly dynamic couple. They revealed that, as of now, all those who have heard the early cuts of PSYOPERA in the music industry have been “blown away.” The source noted that this is Grimes’ best album since she released Visions in 2012.
Sharing more details about Grimes’ and Elijah’s relationship, the insider told the outlet that the producer has been a “rock for Grimes.” This is especially notable as Elijah is still in his mid-twenties while Grimes is 38 years old as of November 2026.
The insider shared that Elijah is “very stable and caring.” They added that he is a down-to-earth type of person and makes sure to treat Grimes with respect. This is the total opposite of the men that Grimes has previously dated. The source shared:
“He’s a total babe, very down to earth, and treats her with respect—total opposite of the other guys she’s been with. He’s hot, talented, and nice.”
Elon Musk and Grimes’ relationship
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, previously had an on-and-off relationship with Elon Musk. They made their red carpet debut in May 2018 but were plagued by split rumors just a few months later before reuniting. Grimes confirmed that she and Elon were back together when she announced in January 2020 that she was pregnant. She later revealed that Elon was the father of her child, a boy named X.
In the following years, Grimes and Elon welcomed a baby girl, Exa, via surrogacy in December 2021. The former couple welcomed their child, son Techno Mechanius, in September 2023. However, the two had reportedly already broken up for the final time in early 2022.
During her appearance on the October 11, 2026, episode of the Proto Pop podcast, Grimes told host Zachary Hourihane that PSYOPERA, which she co-produced with her new boyfriend, is not about Elon Musk. Instead, the musician explained that her album is inspired by AI.
Despite this, fans have been eagerly looking forward to Grimes’ new music. On the podcast, she revealed that she plans to release the album in two parts, but she hasn’t announced its release date yet.
