KOL reveals the reason for having children with Elon Musk.

According to USA Today , Ashley St. Clair gained attention for a TikTok video titled "Get ready with me," sharing details of her whirlwind romance with billionaire Elon Musk (54). In the video, she revealed for the first time the reasons behind her decision to have a child with the Tesla CEO, as well as the sudden and "strange" changes in their relationship after she became pregnant.

Ashley St. Clair revealed that she began dating Elon Musk in 2023. Prior to that, she was a single mother. The KOL admitted that she had lost faith in a happy marriage due to societal prejudices, but she always longed to be a mother and have more children.

Raising a child alone amidst difficult economic circumstances meant Ashley constantly faced financial pressure. Therefore, the offer from the tech billionaire completely convinced her. Ashley recounted Elon Musk's words: "You should have the baby. My only limited resource is time."

"Of course it's very appealing. I can do what I've always wanted to do – become a mother without worrying about the financial burdens. I don't think that's a crazy reason. My children will definitely always be well cared for," Ashley shared.

The couple seriously discussed their plans to have children during a trip to the island of St. Barts. In February 2025, she gave birth to Musk's son, whom she named Romulus.

However, their romance completely changed since Ashley became pregnant. The KOL revealed that things started to become "strange" and many of Musk's words and actions were no longer consistent with what he had promised before.

Ashley emphasized that before she became pregnant, the billionaire behaved much more like a "normal" person. She said, "It might not be believed, but in private, he used to be very funny and talkative. But then, things suddenly became incredibly strange."

Elon Musk has five children with his ex-wife Justine Wilson. With singer Grimes, he has three children with unusual names (X Æ A-12, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus).

Furthermore, Musk also has four children with Shivon Zilis, his subordinate at the tech company Neuralink. Notably, Musk and Zilis' fourth child (Seldon Lycurgus) was secretly born around the same time Ashley St. Clair gave birth.
