T-minus how many days until her ex-boyfriend Elon Musk makes like a SpaceX Starship rocket and simply explodes?]() *\Image: Grimes via Instagram\* ## Instagram Official Musician Claire "Grimes" Boucher went Instagram official with a new beau — the person was untagged, but they appear to be DJ Matteo "Anyma" Milleri — over the weekend. T-minus how many days until her ex-boyfriend Elon Musk, with whom Boucher is locked in a [contentious custody battle]() over their three children, [makes like a SpaceX Starship rocket]() and simply explodes? "Beauty and the Beast," Grimes captioned the series of loved-up photos with Milleri, [shared to Instagram on Saturday](). ## Tumultuous History As a quick refresher, Boucher and the SpaceX and Tesla CEO first went public with their tumultuous relationship back in 2018. The pair dated on and off until March 2022, when [Boucher announced]() their last known breakup in an X-formerly-Twitter thread. Shortly after Boucher confirmed the split, it was revealed that she and famed military leaker Chelsea Manning [were dating](). Days later, Musk [shared a transphobic meme]() that many interpreted as a dig at Manning, who's openly trans. Boucher and Manning broke up that summer. But while Boucher [maintained]() that she and Musk were amicable co-parents throughout 2022 and most of 2023, things took a turn in September when the EDM artist publicly pleaded for the SpaceX leader to "[let me see my son]()." Court papers from the pair's [ensuing and ongoing custody battle]() revealed that Musk, currently the world's second-richest and arguably most divorced man, [ducked custody papers a dozen times](). In sum, Musk hasn't appeared to take well to news of Boucher dating other people in the past. And as it stands, the former couple doesn't appear to be on good terms. (And though Musk and Boucher were never married, a [recent X post]() from the SpaceX CEO musing that "'super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse' should filed \[sic\] be listed among 'Reasons that Western Civilization died'" sure seems to say a lot about how he generally feels about his and other extremely rich dudes' exes.) ## EDM Romance Details of Boucher and Milleri's relationship are still sparse, but it appears the two met where so many other singles do: the workplace. Milleri was featured on Boucher's single "Welcome to the Opera," which was released last June, the same month that Milleri would [finalize his divorce]() from Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti (who has since been spotted [jetsetting with actor Leonardo DiCaprio]().) Boucher and Milleri have performed their song onstage together as [recently as January](). The same month, Boucher [took to Instagram]() to tell followers she was "excited to get back to work," tagging Milleri in the post. Here's to the happy new couple headlining many more music festivals to come. As for Musk? Let's hope he stays offline for this one. **More on Elon and Grimes:** [*Elon Musk Deletes Tweet Saying Ex-Wives Responsible for Collapse of Civilization*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've reported extensively on the rise of AI as a cultural and business force shaping the media industry, and more broadly how those dynamics are changing how we all consume and share information and relate to one another. I'm also fascinated by public health policy and ethics, the role of emerging tech in politics and governance — and the powerful people and forces at those intersections — climate change, and the environment. My investigation on Sports Illustrated's use of AI-generated authors with fictional biographies won a 2024 Mirror Award for "Best Story on Media Coverage of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and the Media" from Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School, I contributed to Niemen Lab's 2025 Predictions for Journalism series, and I've discussed my work for Futurism during appearances on NPR, CNN, the BBC, the CBC, and more. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I played Division I field hockey for the Minutewomen as a midfielder. Since then, I've lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Manhattan, New York. I spend my free time running, reading, perusing archival fashion, and searching for the world’s best negroni. I also have a debonair tuxedo cat, Westley, who's named after "The Princess Bride." ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
