Grimes, Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend and the mother of three of his children, sparked a debate on her X account by discussing a shift in her sexuality following pregnancy. In a statement, the 36-year-old singer-songwriter, born Claire Elise Boucher, revealed that she became "way less gay" after becoming pregnant. She noted a boost in her creativity and focus on reading and writing, but a decline in her ability to concentrate on technical subjects.

Grimes engaged with her 1.3 million followers by questioning whether hormonal changes could explain her experiences. While responding to inquiries, she noted that her feelings towards her sexuality felt contradictory to being in a heterosexual relationship, and one follower advised her to consult a doctor for better insights. Grimes acknowledged her low testosterone levels and expressed interest in exploring this with a healthcare professional.

Additionally, when asked for clarification on her statement about being "less gay," Grimes mentioned that she was simply "less interested in dating girls." Despite their breakup over three years ago, Musk previously described their relationship as "semi-separated" while indicating that Grimes would continue to live in a home he owned in California.
