Even though we are all still processing the fact that Grimes and Elon Musk secretly welcomed a daughter and broke up (yet again), prepare yourself for the next twist in this story. It was recently reported by Page Six that the 33-year-old musician has moved on from Elon Musk and is now dating Chelsea Manning. Yes, the former US soldier who served seven years for disclosing nearly 750,000 classified military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. The whistleblower had a 35-year sentence for espionage and other charges commuted by President Barak Obama in 2017.Cue confusion across social media.
A source told Page Six that this budding romance seems to be a long-term thing, saying, 'They’re getting serious and they’ve been living together in Austin.'
Just after news of Elon and Grimes' baby Exa’s arrival was unofficially announced via Vanity Fair, Grimes tweeted an update on the state of her relationship with the billionaire. 'Me and E have broken up again since the writing of this article haha,' she wrote. 'But he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now, I think Devin wrote that part of the story rly well. Sique – peace out'
Right now there is not a lot of hard evidence to back up the dating speculation but fans of Grimes may not be shocked to hear of her new romance with Chelsea as the pair have been engaged in Twitter exchanges for a few months. Last week, Grimes explained that she hadn’t been able to appear on a user’s Twitch stream because she had not been 'in LA' but felt 'bad for postponing like 10 times.' Chelsea then replied to her tweet, confirming Grimes’ whereabouts, writing 'vouch'. So, they are clearly spending some time together.
Perhaps what started out as a friendly Twitter interaction quickly turned into something more?
