Ashley St. Clair Reveals Baby with Elon Musk
American conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has revealed that she had a baby with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in 2023. She shared the news on X (formerly Twitter) on February 14. St. Clair revealed that she kept the birth private to protect their child’s safety. Her announcement came after media speculation about her pregnancy.
St. Clair’s relationship with Musk had been the subject of rumors. This comes to the fore especially after she was seen with his security team at Mar-a-Lago while pregnant. She emphasized that her primary concern is raising their child in a secure environment and requested media respect their privacy.
Unfortunately, neither Musk nor St. Clair had previously confirmed their relationship or the pregnancy. Musk, who has multiple children from previous relationships, has not commented publicly. St. Clair’s post concluded with the Latin phrase “Alea Iacta Est” (The die is cast), suggesting the matter is now beyond her control.
