Ashley St Clair announces on X that Elon Musk is the father of her five-month-old baby, requesting media respect for her child’s privacy
Conservative influencer and author Ashley St Clair has announced that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is the father of her five-month-old baby. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), St Clair shared the news, writing, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” She further emphasised her decision to go public with the information by adding the Latin phrase, “Alea lacta est” (The die is cast).
St Clair, who has kept her child's identity private until now, explained that she made the decision to disclose the information after learning that tabloid media outlets were planning to reveal it regardless of her wishes. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” St Clair wrote. “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment.”
In her post, St Clair requested that the media respect her child’s privacy, urging them to refrain from invasive reporting. She expressed her desire for the child to have a peaceful upbringing without unnecessary public scrutiny. "For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child's privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting," St Clair added.
This revelation has sparked widespread interest, as the news comes amid continued public fascination with Musk's personal life. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, known for his numerous business ventures and highly public persona, has made headlines for his various relationships and large family. Musk has previously fathered children with other partners, but this announcement adds another layer of complexity to his public image.
While St Clair has asked for privacy, her decision to share the information publicly on a social media platform is bound to keep the topic in the headlines. As the media attention continues to grow, the future of the child's privacy and the response from Musk and St Clair remains uncertain.
The announcement raises important questions about the intersection of celebrity, privacy, and media coverage, especially in the age of social media where personal revelations can quickly become public spectacle.
