Elon Musk has been confirmed as the father of Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair’s son, Romulus.
The confirmation comes months after St. Clair announced in September 2024 that she and the Tesla CEO had welcomed a child together, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
Until now, the identity of the child’s father and the name had been kept
under wraps.
However, a paternity test conducted by Labcorp revealed a 99.999% probability that Musk is the father.
A spokesperson for St. Clair also confirmed both the child’s name and the test result to People magazine on Wednesday.
This marks Musk’s 14th known child.
The billionaire shares children with four other women, including Canadian singer Grimes and author Justine Musk.
“The child’s name, Romulus, was also revealed in the report, ending months of speculation.
“With the name Romulus — reminiscent of the legendary founder of Rome— Musk continues his pattern of choosing distinctive and unconventional names for his children,” The Wall Street Journal noted.
Despite the confirmation of paternity, details about Musk’s current relationship with St. Clair remain unclear.
The report added, “The announcement follows earlier online rumours and unconfirmed reports linking the two public figures as co-parents.”
Access Hollywood reached out to St. Clair for further comment, but she has not responded at the time of writing.
