Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend, Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes, ignited a heated debate on social media Tuesday after declaring that she felt “way less gay” following her pregnancy. The 36-year-old artist, who shares three children with Musk, took to her X/Twitter account to pose the question of whether hormones were responsible for the shift in her sexuality.
Grimes’ statement, “I became way less gay after I was pregnant,” quickly sparked curiosity and controversy among her 1.3 million followers. She explained that while her creativity and focus on reading improved, her interest in technical matters waned, prompting her to wonder if hormones were behind these changes.
Fans responded with a wide range of theories, while Grimes remained engaged with the conversation, even admitting she was “kinda curious” about the various explanations offered. Some followers urged her to seek medical advice, while others humorously responded with quips like, “We are but chemical soups” and “yeah it’s the progesterone sister.”
Grimes clarified that by “less gay,” she meant she was less interested in dating women, a revelation that fueled further discussion about how pregnancy might alter one’s emotional and romantic inclinations.
The Vancouver native’s bold remarks come years after she and Musk, now separated, welcomed their three children, including the famously named X Æ A-12. Despite the end of their relationship, Grimes continues to intrigue her fans with her candid takes on life, love, and the complexities of parenthood.
