Ashley St. Clair reveals son's name as paternity test appears to confirm Musk is father
The author made new allegations about her relationship with Musk, months after claiming he was the father of her child, during a bombshell interview with The Wall Street Journal, published Tuesday.
In the article, the name of St. Clair's child was revealed: Romulus St. Clair. The piece also noted that Musk did a paternity test, with a report from Labcorp revealing that the 'Probability of Paternity' was 99.9999 percent.
However, Musk has still not publicly identified St. Clair's son as his child.
The Independent has contacted representatives for Musk for comment.
St. Clair, 26, went public in February with her claims that she and Musk share a child. Now, she has claimed to the Journal that the billionaire offered her a one-time payment of $15 million, plus $100,000 a month until her child turns 21, in exchange for her silence.
'I don't want my son to feel like he's a secret,' St. Clair reportedly told Musk's fixer Jared Birchall, who runs Musk's family office.
After the publication of the Journal's report, St. Clair claimed the amount Musk paid in child support had dropped to $20,000. She also claimed that Musk, who is reportedly the father of 14, has used his wealth to silence some of the other women who have had his children.
Musk has four children — Strider, Azure, Arcadia, and Seldon Lycurgus — with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, as well as three — X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Tau Techno Mechanicus — with music artist Grimes. And he has six children with Justine Wilson, his ex-wife of eight years.
St. Clair alleged that she gained an insight into Musk's 'paranoid' way of thinking when they dated in 2023 after meeting in the spring of that year. Their romance began on Musk's social media platform X after he began to interact with her posts, according to the Journal's report.
She was invited by Musk to visit X's headquarters in San Francisco. From there, he took her on a separate trip to Rhode Island on his private plane, where the SpaceX CEO was visiting one of his sons at college, and then later on a getaway to St. Barts for the New Year.
During their time together, Musk frequently talked to St. Clair about having children, she claimed. 'The first time they had sex, Musk joked that they should 'pick a name' for their future child,' the outlet reported
On the trip to St. Barts, she told Musk that she was ovulating. 'What are we waiting for?' he reportedly replied, and their son was conceived, according to St. Clair.
During St. Clair's pregnancy, she claimed Musk suggested they 'bring in other women to have even more of their children faster' in his mission to save civilization.
'To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,' Musk told St. Clair in a text message seen by the Journal. 'We will need to use surrogates,' he added.
In February, just one week after publicly disclosing she gave birth to Musk's child, St. Clair asked a New York court to compel Musk to submit a paternity test so he may be declared the father of the child, who was then only referred to by the initials 'RSC.'
She also filed a petition seeking sole custody of the child, whom she says Musk has only seen three times since he was born and has 'no involvement' in his care or upbringing.
In March, St. Clair claimed that Musk attempted to attack her financially and silence her with a gag order. 'Elon Musk has financially retaliated against his child and reduced his financial support substantially and unilaterally,' her attorney Karen Rosenthal told People at the time. She later claimed to MailOnline that she was selling her $100,000 Tesla, a black Model S, to make up for Musk's cutting 60 percent of his child support.
Musk later fired back, claiming he'd actually given her $2.5 million in child support payments.' I don't know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,' he wrote on X.

Cheryl Hines speaks out about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. marriage: 'We trust each other'
Cheryl Hines is addressing the state of her marriage to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star, 59, spoke to The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Aug. 11 about her relationship with Kennedy following reports last year that he allegedly had a sexting affair with reporter Olivia Nuzzi. Hines did not comment directly on the allegations, saying that there isn't "any point to going through every rumor and headline to try to defend or explain it." But the actress told the Journal, "Bobby and I talk about everything, so that's how we move through everything, and we're really good friends, and we trust each other." While previewing how her upcoming memoir will discuss her marriage, Hines also said, "One would deduce that we love each other and are still married and whatever we've been through is behind us." A representative for Kennedy, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a statement to The New York Times and other outlets last year that he only met Nuzzi "once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece." 'Oh Bobby': Cheryl Hines posts video of RFK Jr. showering to promote her beauty line Hines, who has drawn criticism for standing by her husband amid his involvement in President Donald Trump's administration, told the Journal that she now describes herself as an independent after being a registered Democrat in the past. But she said she is still friends with her former "Curb Your Enthusiasm" costar Larry David, a vocal critic of Trump. David did not comment for the story. Cheryl Hines appears at RFK Jr. HHS confirmation hearing for Trump cabinet position Hines did, however, push back on a social media post from David's ex-wife Laurie David, who said Hines was playing the role of the "dutiful, adoring wife" and "setting women back decades." Hines told the Journal she found this post "odd" because "I don't really have a relationship with her, so that was also even more surprising that she had so many feelings about me sitting behind my husband, supporting him."

Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima lists $16M home with AI and laser-powered security system
Brazilian supermodel and former Victoria's Secret Angel, Adriana Lima, is parting ways with her Los Angeles estate — a property where the security measures read more like a celebrity protection playbook than a standard home listing. Priced at $15.995 million, the modern Brentwood compound sits behind custom gates and mature hedging on one of the widest lots in the North Bundy flats, with 120 feet of frontage. Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers III, purchased the 7,400-square-foot property only three years ago for $12.35 million, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the listing. 12 Adriana Lima's Brentwood home could double as a high-fashion fortress. Tyler Hogan 12 The longtime Victoria's Secret Angel and her hubby are listing the heavily fortified estate for $15.995 million. Tyler Hogan 12 The home is completed with an advanced security setup featuring AI-powered cameras and laser beams encircling the property. Tyler Hogan After purchasing it, the couple outfitted the newly built home with a high-tech AI-powered camera system, automated laser beams and 24/7 armed patrol service. 'The property has AI-powered cameras that instantly recognize unfamiliar faces and can alert a live security team within seconds,' listing agent Paul Salazar of Compass told The Post. The 0.34-acre lot holds a five-bedroom, seven-bath main residence and a one-bedroom, one-bath detached guesthouse — totaling six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The gated drive leads to a two-car garage plus space for four additional vehicles. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool, mature landscaping, a fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen — with room to add a sports court. 12 The home's foyer. Tyler Hogan 12 They customized it with high-tech defenses, plus bespoke window treatments, antique Parisian streetlamps, and $100,000 in home theater upgrades.

Other features include a climate-controlled wine rack, a private theater upgraded with over $100,000 in equipment — and smart-home integration that controls lighting, climate, sound and security from wall-mounted displays or an app. The primary suite has a private terrace with a fireplace, a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and island drawers with key-card access for valuables. 12 The expansive family room. Tyler Hogan 12 One of the five bedrooms in the main house. There is also a separate bedroom in the guest house. Tyler Hogan 12 An ensuite walk-in closet. Tyler Hogan Lima and Lemmers said in an email that the decision to sell comes as their professional commitments have shifted east. 12 Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers III, bought the roughly 7,400-square-foot compound in 2022 for $12.35 million. Ouzounova / 'Too much of our personal time was taken away by being on the other side of the country and longer travels,' they told The Journal in an email. The famous couple shouldn't have a problem selling this stunning name because, according to Salazar, demand in Brentwood remains strong, with 'a ton of families looking for a home' even after the post-fire surge earlier this year. Salazar is co-listing the property with Kyle Amicucci and Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates.

Machine Gun Kelly Speaks About Megan Fox Baby, Split 'Gossip' and Secret Rehab Stay
MGK alludes to a split on his new album -- while Fox is credited as a composer on one of the songs -- while also opening up about their baby girl, Saga, and spending Christmas 2024 in rehab in a new interview. Machine Gun Kelly is letting his music do some of the talking, giving insight into his roller coaster relationship with Megan Fox and their new baby on his new album, Lost Americana. MGK dropped his seventh album Friday, while also opening up about what inspired some of the tracks in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times' Popcast podcast. Among the topics: the birth of baby girl Saga, his secret stint in rehab at the end of 2024 and dealing with media attention and "gossip" around his relationship with Fox. In the song "Treading Water," he sings about spending Christmas 2024 in rehab, with lyrics including, "This'll be the last time you hear me say sorry / That'll be the last tear you waste on me crying / I broke this home, and just like my father, I'll die all alonе." "The beast killed the beauty; the last petal fell from the rose / And I loved you truly, that's why it's hard to let it go / I broke this home, but I'll change for our daughter, so she's not alone," he continues. "I'm fixated on the gossip that I know is happenin' / while I'm just being left out of the conversation," he sings later in the track. "And it's crazy, seeing quotations from a source that somebody curated / 'Cause for me, y'all can feel pure hatred / But just keep our baby out this situation." In December 2024, it was also reported that the couple had split, with reports at the time that Fox had found something upsetting on his phone. "Here's the real deal, I spent Christmas and New Year's, the whole month of December and late November, in a rehab facility. I came out, the world was very loud about me and my personal business," he said on the podcast. "Ironically, neither me or Megan have said anything. To this day, there could have been zero drama and you would never know, because none of us have said one thing." "It's all claims and things that have happened out of our control, I guess. I came home to this," he said, adding he was "somewhat aware" of the chatter while he was in rehab, but really had no access to phones at the time. Shortly after his release, he said, he began a "water fast," before the Los Angeles fires began to encroach on his home. He told the podcasters he was "pushing through a delirious state" on the fourth day of the fast, hiding out at neighbor Michael B. Jordan's home before grabbing some letters, a Banksy and Picasso at his home and retreating from the area. In the end, he said, his home was spared. Elsewhere on the album, there's a song called "Sweet Coraline," where he sings about saving a woman from a taxi cab -- calling her both "rude" and "dumb" in the track. On the podcast, he explained the song was actually about a fan who ran up to him in NYC and asked him, "How did you fumble Megan Fox?" "I said, 'God damn. God damn,'" exclaimed MGK, "That's the question you wanted to ask? You ran all the way over for this?" After she them praised his "Tickets to My Downfall" album, he said he then saved her from a taxi nearly running her over. Kelly also opened up about the day Fox went into labor, saying both he and the actress were surprised their baby girl didn't come early, "because she always has her babies early." It left him wondering, "What is she waiting on?" He then explained that he went into the studio to finish the album, recording an intro for it. "And the second I get to my house and plop my body in the bed, it's go time, Megan's water broke. So my baby was up there like, 'Nah, dad, you're going to finish the album first.' Saga was waiting for the intro, damn," he shared on the podcast. When asked what it's like being dad to a newborn again, Kelly said it was "very different" from his first time around, after welcoming daughter Casie 16 years ago. "I actually don't have to steal diapers from Walmart. It's a pleasure. I am very happy that I can embed music into her subconscious from the early days," he said, adding that little Saga really responds well to the sound of a ukulele. Fox is also credited on one of the album's tracks, the song Orpheus, where she's named as a "composer" on the song. "And in this moment, it's me and you only / I will lovе you for all my days," he sings on the song. "Somewhere in a diffеrent realm, we're still together / Somehow, I'll find my way to you again." "Do you remember when you mistakenly / Thought that I could make you happy?" he adds. "I wish that we could still dream and dream / I won't let you love me, but I can't let you leave me / It's a tragedy, and we've all seen that scene." Lost Americana is out now.
